      Technical information and requirements

      The copy of the templates will overwrite existing templates on the destination server based on template ID. 

      The copy of the template system default settings will overwrite the existing settings of the user views if they were already present (overwrite done based on user view ID). No user views will be removed/overwritten on the destination server if they are not copied from the source server.

      Copy done for a specified user view which has user group dependencies (as defined by the source server), requires the same user group(s) to be present on the destination server (based on user group ID). If a user group doesn’t exist on the destination server, the user view's dependency is removed for that user group.
