Export Library Window

Export Library Window

Administration menu-> Library-> Export...

The Export Library Window is used to export items from the database to a special library file. Library files can then be imported to other databases (using the Import Library Window), greatly facilitating the ability to migrate forms, finds, custom queries, reports, folder types, document types, stored scripts, and stored solutions from one database to another (for example, a testing database to a production database).
