Importing/Exporting Screens
In ASM, you can import screens from one system into another system if the systems are identical. You can also export a screen, modify the HTML, and then import it back in.
You should never import ("Load From") a screen from a different system unless you are certain the two systems are completely in Sync. This is because extension fields are assigned a unique ID number at the database level in an ordered sequence, so if your systems are not completely identical, these numbers will not be in alignment; Field 5 in System A will not still be Ext_Field_00005 in System B if Ext_Field_00005 has already been used in System B.
The HTML refers to the field ID, not the label, so you will observe that fields are not what you expect them to be. You will end up with a corrupted screen(s).
To Import a screen
Importing screens will overwrite the data of the current screen set. Ensure you are only importing screens from an identical or the same system.
From the screen View in screen Designer, click the "Load From" Button.
In the browse window that opens, find and select the screen you want to import. It will be an .html file.
A warning will appear cautioning you on loading modified HTML. Click OK if you want to proceed.
The screen will import.
Verify or recreate any rules.
Test your screen.
To Export a Screen
From the screen View in screen Designer, click the "Save As" Button.
In the browse window that opens, find and select the screen you want to export. You will save it as an .html file.
The screen will export to the folder you selected.
