Exporting GMR Groups to CSV Files
The Export Groups task helps you to prepare to migrate GMR groups to FMS via .csv files. The first step of the migration process is to export your GMR groups to .csv files, using this task. Two files will be created, the group definition file and the group entries file. The files are exported as a single action. Once the files have been exported, configured and edited, and imported into FMS, they are used together to define group Nodes in FMS.
You must have proper security authorization to export GMR groups.
