Import a SQL Template
Report templates are version-specific and are not backwardly compatible. Therefore, you cannot export a report template that was created in a later Portal software version and then import it into an earlier Portal version. The reverse, however, is supported--a template exported from an earlier version can be imported into a later Portal software version, but the template may experience some loss of formatting when imported.
Note that NetBackup IT Analytics Portal allows import of only digitally signed templates.
To import a custom-designed report template, follow these steps:
Click .
In the navigation panel on the left, select the folder where you want the imported report template to be saved.
Click in the Action bar above the View Panel.
If the template you are importing is not digitally signed, the portal displays an error stating the template is not signed. See Enable import of unsigned report template to import the template.
In the window, click to find the saved template (
.rtd) file on your local system. You can import multiple template files (.rtd) by consolidating them into a folder, zipping/compressing the folder and selecting the folder to import.Select the
.rtdfile and click . The imported template or templates will appear in the folder you specified and now can be generated.
Recommendation: Visit the Report Library for additional report templates: http://reportlibrary.aptare.com/
