# Backup Parameters

## Default Selections

Default Selections (or Predefined Selections) in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations predefine the parts of a configuration that are included during routine import/export.

For example, when developing reports in a test environment, all destinations may be set to a single email address. However, when copying those reports to a production environment, you might not want to overwrite the production destinations. To meet this requirement, a default selection can be set up so that only the desired configuration is exported, and when it is imported into production, the existing destinations are not overwritten.

Similarly, when working with a customer's configuration that needs to be imported into a test environment, it is not always desirable to import the whole configuration. For example, you may not want to import the connections and servers. A default configuration can be created to exclude those components from the import.

### Where to find Default Selections

Default Selections are a part of the standard export wizard.

1. Navigate to **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Backup** > **Export Lasernet backup**.

1. A new window opens. Click **OK** to open the **Export Lasernet backup** wizard.

1. Click **OK** to accept the default selection of reports and tables that will be exported.

The report selections include a **Predefined selection** option. The default selection includes a common subset of components.

However, as mentioned, it is sometimes necessary to export a backup that only contains a specific subset. Of course, this can be done by manually deselecting options in the list. However, this operation requires great precision, is time-consuming, and must be done every time. Therefore, it is useful to be able to select a predefined option.

### Default Selections Form

To configure the Default Selections, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to **Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Backup parameters** > **Setup Predefined Selections**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-542IB75G.png)

1. A list page opens. Click the **New** button on the Action pane.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-YKMQ98M0.png)

| Selection-class list | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Class ID | The class ID. This field will be populated when the **Class name** field is populated. |
| Class name | The name of the selected class and whether the predefined selection refers to the import/export of the whole Lasernet Connector configuration or an individual report. |
| Predefined selection | The name of the selection. |
| Description | The description of the selection, if any. |

When selecting the **Class name**, four standard options are displayed.

Note

If this drop-down is not populated, click **Register selection-classes**.

1. Selection for importing the whole Lasernet Connector configuration.
2. Selection for importing individual reports.
3. Selection for exporting the whole Lasernet Connector configuration.
4. Selection for exporting individual reports.

### Configure Default Selections for Exporting Lasernet Connector Configuration

The following is an example of a default selection that will be used to export the Lasernet Connector config:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-WW9KOM71.png)

On the right-hand side of the page, you can select which tables to include or exclude. The **All tables** radio button will include all tables in the list. The **Apply Default** option will apply the **Default selection**, which can then be modified as required. It is also possible to manually select what to add.

In the following example, all the tables have been selected except for the report destinations:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-4IO26ISL.png)

The selection can be customized according to your requirements.

When the selection is finalized, click **Save**.

Then, click **Save** again.

#### Choose Default Selection on Export Menu

Once the **Default selection** has been configured, navigate to **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Backup** > **Export Lasernet backup** and click **OK**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-4PV5218T.png)

Now, the option to use the previously created selection (**Predefined selection**) with the required exclusions appears.

### Configure Default Selection for Exporting a Report

In the previous section, a **Default selection** was created for exporting the Lasernet Connector configuration. However, it is sometimes necessary to export only one report or a few reports at a time. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to **Lasernet** > **Common** > **Reports**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-S7VGH1QK.png)

1. Select a report from the list and click **Export report backup**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-5Z466AL7.png)

The previously configured **Default selection** is not available because this is a report-only export.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-KWKM5KR9.png)

To configure the **Default selection** for a report, follow these steps:

1. Navigate back to the **Default selections** through **Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Backup parameters** > **Setup Predefined Selections**.
2. Click the **New** button and select **LAC Report backup** as shown.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-GEFCVE2L.png)

1. Add the **Predefined selection** and **Description**, and click **Save**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-IG1V957U.png)

1. Configure the appropriate selection and click **Save** on the selection, then **Save** on the form again.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-DJP8A77M.png)

Now, when exporting a report from the reports list page, the new **Default selection** is available as a **Predefined selection** on the report export.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-4MCNXSLX.png)

### Import a Configuration

A similar functionality is available for importing a configuration: the import can specify which specific parts to load.

To this end, it is necessary to select the import classes in the **Setup Predefined Selections** page (**Lasernet** > **Setup** > **Backup parameters** > **Setup Predefined Selections**):

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-8GM96V08.png)

In the same way as with the exports, the **Class name**, **Predefined selection,** and **Description** must be defined, and the table selection can be customized to exclude tables that do not need to be imported:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-FLWRKS7F.png)

For this import selection, you can also define a default list of companies to which the config is imported.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-ABFWW7ZD.png)

When a report is imported from the reports list page, the **Predefined selection** is available from the import wizard:

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-VOSJZG0Z.png)

When the **Predefined selection** is imported, the import is added to the three companies previously selected:
