Exporting and Importing Report Templates
License: 
Any
The file that you generate when you export a report template contains all necessary data to create the 
same report on another Defense Center. The export file, which is in a proprietary SFO format, includes:
  •
the report template, with all section design elements and document attributes
  •
all saved searches used in the report
  •
all images used in the report
  •
all custom tables used in the report
The only configuration that may be required after you import the template on another Defense Center is 
automatic report generation scheduling.
Note
Importing and exporting report templates requires both Defense Centers to be at the same software 
version level.
To export a report template:
Access: 
Admin
Step 1
Select 
Overview > Reporting
.
Step 2
Select the 
Report Templates
 tab.
The Report Templates page appears.
Step 3
For the template you want to export, click the export icon (
).
The system produces a configuration package file with 
.sfo
 extension and opens an Opening Object 
pop-up window that displays the package’s file name.
Step 4
Select 
Save file
 and 
OK
 to save the file to your local computer.
Step 5
You can change the name of the 
.sfo
 package to a more descriptive one for your convenience. When you 
import the package, regardless of its name, the importing Defense Center will give the template the same 
name it had on the source Defense Center.
The SFO files exported from a Defense Center contain all elements necessary to add the report template 
to another Defense Center. The import process therefore requires only uploading the package to the 
second Defense Center and running the import process.
To import a report template:
Access:
