Occasionally a report definition needs to be copied to a different database. Perhaps you have a test database where you've created a report just the way you like it, and need to move that report definition to your production database. Or maybe a report isn't working correctly and you want to send it to the support team to review.
Right-click options on the user reports list enable you to export any report definition to a file, or import a previously exported definition.
Note: If the report contains custom fields, they will have internal IDs that are unique to the database they were created in. Importing a report with custom fields to a different database (i.e., a completely different database, not just a restored copy) may cause those fields to be omitted because they don't exist. In that case, the rest of the report would still be imported.
