Issue
There are a number of object tabs that support the functionality of exporting to a CSV file. Can this CSV file then be used as a template and imported into another site?

Cause
Not sure how to import objects from CSV as a database creation tool.
Resolution
The export options are so you can export the required records to a file as part of site documentation, administration etc. There is no way to import anything other than users using a CSV file.
- A database backup that is already configured can be restored to a new system to be used as a site template.
- Another option for using the same configuration is the Copy Controller Feature. If you want to have multiple sites within a single Security Expert Server, take a bank for example where each branch is a separate site in the one server but configured pretty much the same, you could utilize the Copy Controller feature to copy all the programming from the template controller to a new one. Please note that although this feature currently exists within Security Expert it is currently being worked on by our engineers to improve its functionality.
