You may export your client settings for import on another client system. Importing client settings saves time in making manual changes to each client instance. Client settings include things such as systems listed on the ‘Add Systems’ page, joystick settings, theme settings.
Whether exporting or importing the client settings file, this is found in Configuration mode of the client. Select ‘Add Systems’ from the navigation panel on the left.
Choose the ‘Import/Export’ tab on the bottom-half of the page under the System List.
From this tab you may choose to Export your client settings to an INI file, which may then be imported from this same location on another client system.
If you have several users on the same client machine this file can also be imported into the client for each user. Client settings are saved “by user”. This means that even if two people are using the same machine, if they log into two different user accounts within Windows, Linux, or the Mac operating system they can have different client settings.
There is also an option for Automatic Import. This may be desirable to update the server list for multiple client machines automatically when you have several clients to administer and/or wish to update this list for your users as changes are made.

Options for Automatic Import include:
- File on startup: This is useful for environments with access to a shared folder on a system or network. You may place an exported INI file with your desired settings here and each time the client opens it will import the file and any changes that were made to it.
- URL on startup: Similar to the ‘File on startup’ option this may be useful for clients in a remote location to access your exported INI file made available on your web server.
- Synchronize with ESM: This option requires an Enterprise license and an ESM server and will update your client’s server list based on the systems listed in ESM.
