To simplify deployment for multiple users, it is possible to export and import data source configurations. The generated file contains all the information to recreate the configuration.
The file does not include the content of the data source; only the configuration is exported. Use the entry's export functionality to back up or copy the content of the database.
Instead of exporting and importing data sources and options separately, it is possible to create a Custom installer. Our Custom installer service replicates the configuration of a Remote Desktop Manager instance.

Whether or not users can Read/Write in offline mode is first decided at the data source's caching mode level. This cannot be changed remotely. To prevent or allow remote users the Read/Write offline feature, do so before exporting the data source
A locked data source can be exported and imported, but the content will be locked unless a password is entered when the data source is selected. See Lock Data Source for more information.
