## Export

The **Export** function is useful for moving a report from one legal entity to another or a new FO environment.

It is possible to export one report at a time or multiple reports together. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Select **Export** from the **Backup** dropdown menu.
2. Mark both the original SSRS report and the Replacement report to be included in the export.
3. In the dialog that appears, click **Export**.

The export of a single report will include the **Report name**, **Company**, **User**, **Current Date & Time**: `Backup_SalesPackingSlipReplacement_usmf_Kim.Agerholm_09-03-2024_11-53-49.zip`

Whereas exports of multiple reports will not include the **Report name**:` Backup_usmf_Kim.Agerholm_09-03-2024_11-58-8.zip`

When exporting a report, the required information in Dynamics and the report design(s) are included in the export.

## Import

Follow these steps to use the **Import** function:

1. Ensure you are in the new legal entity or environment, then select **Import** from the **Backup** dropdown menu.

2. In the dialog that appears, click **Import**.
