Reporting Dashboards configurations can be imported for categories, data providers, reports, and dashboards to allow them to be duplicated in other systems or recovered from backups in disaster recovery situations. To import configurations, click Import Configuration under Admin Tools in the Administration area. For more information on importing, see the System Administration module reference guide.
The following items should be noted with regard to importing:
-
Users and User Groups can only be set as No Action or Map(user accounts assigned to dashboards and reports cannot be created when the dashboard or report is imported).
-
Mappable user accounts can be filtered based on account type. For example, service accounts can be hidden from the user list.
-
Some Reporting Dashboards items cannot be set as No Action. If an action is not selected for these items, an error is displayed and an action must be chosen.
-
Dashboards, Reports, Data Providers, and Categories cannot be set as No Action(an action must be taken on these objects).
-
Users only have access to the Change Control Settings option from Import Configuration if they have the System Configuration right.
-
When importing a Reporting Dashboard configuration that utilizes a WorkView application, you must import the associated WorkView application prior to importing the Reporting Dashboard Configuration.
