The same functionality available from the Common menu of the Lasernet module, is also available from the Reports list page.

Navigate to Lasernet > Common > Reports, then click Setup.

If exporting or copying a report, ensure that the correct report is selected. If importing, any report can be selected.

In the Backup section of the toolbar the same options for Export, Import and Copy are available. However when these are used from the Reports list page.

The Export/Copy wizard will be filtered to the report that has been selected, and the list of tables will be filtered to only include the configuration related to that report.

The rest of the functionality is the same as if run from the Backup menu items under Common.

Example

In this example, we will describe a scenario where the Import report backup is used:

Navigate to Lasernet > Common > Reports > Setup > Import report backup.

Upon importing a report, set the Endpoint type to Lasernet connection. To find a report, the Connection should be the storage that contains the report. This allows us to explore the storage, find the intended report, and import it.

After the file has been found, click Open.

Once the file has been opened, the name of the file will appear inside the Filename field. When all the information is correct, click the OK button to finalize the import.

Mark Dynamic to get to the next step without reading the file.

This provides the option to configure the batch schedule without needing to add the file, as the system would otherwise not allow proceeding to the next step.
