Importing and Exporting Search Filters
Upload or download a file containing all your Targeted Search filter groups, filters, and settings.
If you are changing systems or simply creating a back-up of all your Filter Groups and Filters, Targeted Search makes it easy to perform a simple export (and import) of all your filters.
Ensure you are a System Administrator
You must be a system administrator in order to access the Targeted Search 'back-end' Search Filters page where importing, exporting, and filter management is done.

To Import
Click the “Import Filters” button in the top tray of icons towards right-side of page.
You will be prompted to select the appropriate tab-delimited text (.txt) file from your hard drive. The file does not need to be named "targeted-search-settings.txt" but it must contain the correct headings and values in a tab-delimited format. Select the file and click 'Open'.
To Export
Click the “Export Filters” button in the top tray of icons towards right-side of page.
A tab-delimited text file called "targeted-search-settings.txt" will be saved to your computer.
Overwrite Settings
When importing, Targeted Search replaces all previous filter groups and filters in the system.
