Building and editing panels
Exporting and importing a panel or project
To transfer panels and projects between two separate Vertigo Suite installations, you can
export the panels or project from one and import them into the other. Exporting wraps the
panel’s or project’s components into a portable VxM Export file folder, which can then be
transferred to and imported into a separate Vertigo Suite installation.

Since station configuration is not exported with the panels/project, once the panels are
imported into the new system, you must re-assign the channels and devices to each object
on the panel and/or channel selector.
To export a panel or project:
1.
With the panel or project open in Xpanel, select F ILE >E XPORT and then select either the
E XPORT PANEL or E XPORT PROJECT command.
If the panel or project contains unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save before
proceeding.
The S
AVE A S window appears and automatically assigns the VxM_Export_* file
name and type.
