Sheet tools are useful for offices to import and export sheets they have already created across multiple Open Dental databases.

In Sheets, click Tools.

Importing or exporting sheets will only benefit those who use Open Dental.

Sheets have a specific .xml file format requirement. You will never export a sheet .xml file for import into another program.
