Import a dynamic template that contains attributes

When a dynamic report template is imported into a Portal:

  • Only digitally signed templates can be imported by default. The steps to import a non-digitally signed template are described below.

  • Custom attributes are saved automatically in the Portal's database.

  • If the system detects that the imported attributes are duplicates of existing attributes, a list of the impacted attributes and their domains will be displayed so that you can rename or edit the attributes.

    See Edit or rename attributes .

  • If the import fails for any reason (such as version incompatibility), the report template will not be created in the destination Portal, however, the attributes that are not duplicates will have already been created and will be available for use in the Portal.

  • See Export a dynamic template that contains attributes.

Import a non-digitally signed template

When you try to import a non-digitally signed report template, the portal displays an error: The template <template_file_name> is not signed. To enable importing a non-digitally signed template, you need to set the portal.allowUnsignedReportImport parameter to True as described in the procedure below.

To set the portal.allowUnsignedReportImport parameter:

  1. On the IT Analytics Portal, go to Reports > My Reports and select the folder to which you want to import the non-digitally signed template.
  2. Click Import > Choose File and select the template you want to import.
