MicroStrategy ONE
Importing and exporting document templates
A document can be exported from one project and imported into another project to use as a template to create a new document. The document cannot have any dependencies on schema or application objects, such as a dataset report.
If the document does have dependencies, it can be exported as a portable document. A portable document contains all the design of the document without the data, allowing you to copy documents between projects, even when the projects do not have the same metadata. When you import the document into the replacement project, you map the document to the new project (referred to as reconciling the document). However, the export and import procedures shown below remain basically the same. For more information on portable documents, see Portable documents: Reusing documents across projects.
