Data Backup, Transfer, and Maintenance

Available Items to Import

Lists items that are available for import, but should only list items that have been removed from the Selected Items
tree.

Show Default System Items

Check this option to show all items in the system, including factory defaults. The only time you should need
to transfer factory defaults is if you have altered the defaults and you want to transfer them.

Selected Items to Import

Lists the items that are contained in the selected transfer file for import. You can selectively remove items that you do
not want to import from the transfer file by removing them.

Create New Items if Duplicates Exist

Select this option if you want to create new item entries in your system if duplicates are found between
items in your system and those being imported from the transfer file. This option insures that you don't
overwrite existing items that you may want to keep as is but can also lead to a number of additional
number items being created that could be duplicates of items you already have and really should have just
replaced.

Replace Duplicate Items with Import Items

Select this option if you want to replace any duplicate settings, files, etc that are already in your system
with the ones from the transfer file. Remember that this option will overwrite any existing items in your
system that are the same, so be careful because you will lose the current version of these items in your
system.

Set As Transfer Project Default (ADVANCED)

Click this button to set the items that you have chosen for import as a global default for all projects in your system.
Each time you open a project it checks to see if it has the latest global transfer that is available. If it does not, then you
will be asked if you would like to load the transfer into the project you are opening or continue on without loading it.
This is very useful for keeping items and settings that you often you or add over time to other projects so that you don't
have to manually create them again or transfer and import them manually.
