Export/Import/Share the whole user environment

Provide a mechanism to export the whole of the users working environment.

Today we can export import:
• Connections
• Resource Views

Today you can also load connections from a shared location.

It would be nice to be able to Export/Import the whole working environment by selecting:

1) List of customized perspectives

2) Then a list of customized views. The ones associated with that perspective should automatically be selected.

3) Then a list of connections associated with that perspective.

It would be good to be able to store this export in a shared location. It would be even better if users then did some changes to a view these would be stored in the local users environment and not the shared.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
