Export/Import Dynamic Templates Containing Custom Attributes

When you export a report template that was created with the Dynamic Template Designer, if the template relies on custom, user-defined attributes, those attributes are included in the exported report template definition (.rtd file). When the report template is imported into another Portal, those custom attributes will appear automatically in that portal's reporting database. Custom attribute types supported in the Dynamic Template Designer include: Array, Drive, Host, and Library.

Note that IT Analytics Portal exports digitally signed templates and allows import of only of digitally signed templates.

Note:

When the template is imported, if the import fails for any reason (such as version incompatibility), the report will not be created in the destination portal; however, the attributes will have already been created and will be available for use in the portal.
