Import/export data

The Test Designer provides an import/export facility enabling you to store external backups of data or make information available to other users. Exported files can be password protected for security. You have the choice of exporting all items in the database or just the exams, questions or resources.

Exporting data

1. Select the Options icon in the ribbon and click Export selected items to file.

   Note: The exported file should only be imported into NetSupport School version 15.00 and above.

2. The Export Database dialog appears. Select what type of information to export and click Export.

3. The Export wizard appears. Specify the location for the exported data and provide a file name. By default, files are prefixed with the current date, but you can enter a custom name. If required, password protect the file, add any additional notes and click Next.

4. Depending on the type of information selected (exams, questions, resources, etc.), the wizard now prompts you to choose the specific items to be exported (unless you selected to export all items in the database). Select each item and click the Add icon. When the Export list is complete, click Next.

5. The wizard confirms the items to be exported. Any resources associated with exams or questions are included. Check the details and if required, click Back to change the information.

6. Click Finish to begin exporting.

7. An Export Processing dialog appears. Click Close when complete.
