{{IMSMANG}} provides extensive data export/import capabilities and formats designed to support a variety of purposes and needs. Using {{IMSMANG}}’s import and export functions, Information Managers can exchange data directly with other {{IMSMANG}} installations and export data for use in external tools.
<p>The export feature allows you to save field report(s) that meet criteria that you specify to a file. This file can then be imported into another IMSMA system so that field reports can be shared.</p><p>To export approved field report(s):</p><ol><li>From the File menu, select Export.</li><li>From the Export menu, select Field Reports.</li>:The Field Report Export window displays ([[:Image:fig179.png|Figure 179]]). </ol> [[Image:fig179.png|center|500px|''Figure 179.
