Moving reports between surveys

Snap Interchange Format (SnIF) is a format used to transfer reports between surveys in Snap XMP Desktop. For example, if you have several surveys that all use the same reports, you can create them in one survey, exported into a SnIF format file and then imported into the other surveys.

The following example shows exporting reports from a survey to a file. You can also export the reports via the clipboard.
