### Saving a Template or Form to an Earlier Version

You can save your report templates, label templates, or forms so that they are backwards compatible with earlier PC-DMIS versions that also support template reporting. To this, simply open the desired report or label template inside its respective editing environment (the Report Template editor, the Label Template editor, or the Form Editor), and select the File | Save As... menu item. The Save As dialog box appears:

Save As dialog box

Near the bottom of the dialog box, the Save as type list lets you specify the version to which PC-DMIS should save the item. The earliest PC-DMIS version you can save these items back to is version 4.2 MR2. Select the desired version and click Save.

If you use the File | Save menu item, PC-DMIS will automatically save the item to your current running version of PC-DMIS, even if it was saved to an earlier version previously.
