Export Auxiliary Data

To export country structure areas, explosive ordnance, organisation, or place data, you must have the Auxiliary Data Export permission.

Auxiliary data include country structure areas, explosive ordnance, organisations, and places. By using the export auxiliary data feature, this data can be saved to files that can then be imported into the handheld device. This provides handheld device users in the field with explosive ordnance, organisations, and places data when entering field reports.

1. From the File menu, select Export.
2. From the Export menu, select Auxiliary Data.
