Importing & Exporting Layers

Author: Optuma Team Last updated: Aug 17, 2021 17:51

Overview

Similar to Page Layouts, exporting layers allows you to save the contents of a layer for use on future charts. The significant difference between Exported Layers and Page Layouts is that when you import a layer onto a chart, any existing work you have on the chart remains whereas a Page Layout will replace it.

Exporting a Layer

To export a layer, add all the tools and indicators that you want the layer to include. Once created, right-click on the word Layer in the Structures Panel and then from the Actions menu select Export Layer.
