Import/Export a CSM Item

Use the CSM Item Managers to import/export items (example: Dashboards, Reports, etc.) as .ced files across CSM systems.

Good to know:

• It is important to rename imported or exported items to ensure existing items are not overwritten.

• Managers look and behave differently in the Browser Client. For more information, refer to the CSM Browser Client.
