Click **Choose File**, select the required file and click **Upload**. The
dashboard template will be imported into the system where you can modify,
customize and arrange it as needed.    

If the dashboard you're importing contains widgets using field groupings, the field groupings are 
also imported. 


Export Tab 
..............

This tab allows you to select a dashboard template on your system and to export it 
to another system.

Click **Export** to open a window showing all of your dashboards as well as a 'drop zone'. 

On **Export** dashboards tab:

1. Click the triangle button(s) to display and expand the dashboard tree.
2. Select the folder or dashboard checkbox(s).
3. Click the **Export .lxtr** button when complete.

The ``.lxtr`` file will be saved to your local computer.

The export retains any field groupings created on the dashboard. See :ref:`edit-field-groupings`.
