How to export controls

Go to PC > Policies > Controls. Select the user-defined controls you'd like to export. Then select Actions > Export. The selected controls will be saved in an XML file named "control_export_yyyymmdd.xml" using the schema ImportableControl.xsd. A maximum of 500 controls can be exported.

How to import controls

Create user-defined control(s) using the schema ImportableControl.xsd. Go to PC > Policies > Controls. Then select New > Import from XML file and select the XML file with your user-defined controls.

If a control exists in your account with the same scan parameters as control(s) being imported, the service assigns the existing scan parameters to the imported controls.

Duplicate scan parameters - If a control exists in your account with the same scan parameters as control(s) being imported, the service assigns the DESCRIPTION parameter of the existing control to the DESCRIPTION parameter of all imported controls with the same scan parameters.
