Picklists cannot be saved as .cdp files so they cannot be backed up using that method. This guide will show you how to backup a Picklist in TRS19 or TANE (both programs use identical methods).

Access Your Current Picklists

Step 1: Open CM and Your Picklists

From the TRS19/TANE Launcher
  1. select Manage Content
  2. in Content Manager open the Content menu
  3. select Edit Picklist



This will display all your current Picklists.


Step 2: Select the Picklist to be moved
  1. right mouse click on the required Picklist
  2. select Open Picklist from the popup menu


This will open the Picklist


Step 3: Select Picklist Contents

  1. left mouse click on any one of the items
  2. press Ctrl-A to Select All the items


Step 4: Transfer List to a New Window
  1. right mouse click on any one of the items
  2. select List Assets in New Window from the popup menu


Step 5: Copy Assets in Picklist

The Picklist assets will be listed by their kuids in the Asset KUID box of a new search filter


  1. click inside the Asset KUID box and press Ctrl-A to select them all
  2. copy the asset list to the clipboard (press Ctrl-C)


Transfer the List to Notepad (or any text editor)

Step 1: Open Notepad or any other suitable text editor program
  • click inside the Notepad window and then press Ctrl-V (paste)


Step 2: Save the Picklist as a text (.txt) file
  1. from the Notepad File menu select Save or press Ctrl-S. If you are not using Notepad, make that the file format is text (.txt) for compatibility
  2. select a suitable backup location for the backup file
  3. enter a filename - the same name as the Picklist would be a good idea - then save
