Notes:

The check box settings for Automatically Push Form to EDP and Automatically Push Form to Remote EDP are not retained when transferring a template between databases. More information for these settings can be found in the Form Template Layout article.

Collect templates transferred between databases will retain the pre-population mappings defined but will not retain their associated pre-population values from the report used to pre-populate.

Form Templates can also be downloaded from the EarthSoft Community Center (ECC) EQuIS Collect Form Library. More information can be found in the EQuIS Form Library article.
