Importing Settings to a Library

It is easy to import profiles and other settings (e.g., interface styles, rating scales, etc.) from another database. To do this, open the Profiles/Library Manager window, select the setting of interest from the navigation panel and then click the Import button.

In the Import to Library window, do the following:

1. Use the drop-down list or browse button (...) to select the library that you want to import from. This can be a standard library file (*.lb8) or an enterprise database connection file (*.rserp).

2. The table shows all of the applicable settings in the library that is currently selected. Use the check boxes to select which settings you wish to import.

3. Click OK to copy the data into your active library.

Importing an Entire Profile

When you select to import a profile, the application will also import all related settings (e.g., the interface style, severity scale, etc.). If settings with the same name already exist in the destination library, the application will import them anyway and increment the name(s).

If you prefer for the imported profile to use any of the settings that were already present in the destination library, you can edit the profile to link to the existing settings and then delete the duplicate settings that were imported.

Tip: If you need to import multiple profiles that reference some of the same settings (e.g., if they all use the same rating scales or risk discovery questions), we recommend to import all of the profiles at the same time in order to limit the amount of work that will be required to manually adjust the profiles and delete extra settings.
