Exporting/importing ReportBooks

You can export a ReportBook by saving it to a definition file that can be read by CaseMap. A ReportBook definition file contains the layout of a CaseMap ReportBook. The file does not contain any case data or reports.  CaseMap ReportBooks files have a .cmrbk extension. When you import this file into CaseMap, CaseMap will create a new ReportBook from the definition file.

Before deleting or modifying a ReportBook from a case, you may want to save a backup copy in the network folder where you store reports and other case information. Once you delete a ReportBook, the only way to restore it is to retrieve it from a backup of the case.
