See below how to export and import forms:

 

Form export

To export a form, first select the desired form on the main screen. On the toolbar, click on the More arrowrgray Export button.

The system will generate a file with .seform extension. The data related to the form will be exported to the file: table type, form type, table, attributes, relationships, formulas, and the design of the form containing the relationships of the items with the fields of the tables. With that mechanism, besides reusing them in a production and test environment, the user can create templates to help managers parameterize the system.

 

Form import

To import a form, click on the More arrowrgray Import button on the toolbar. At this point, the system will display the Wizard with the step-by-step to import a form: In each import step, the system will verify whether the data already exist. If they exist, the fields will be automatically filled in by the system; in that case it is mandatory to select the data, being possible to replace them by the data already saved in the system. If they do not exist, the fields may be left empty. Thus, the data will be imported or, then, an existing datum may be selected. However, there may be a mix of information in the case of attributes and relationships in the existing tables. Click on the Start button:
