The Import/Export utility is a wizard that walks you through importing or exporting question and/or test files to/from the FirstClass Online Testing (FCOT) application. It imports or exports one file at a time, and only supported question types are imported/exported (True/False, Matching, Multiple Choice, and so on).

The files are stored inside the FCOT folder, in the Import folder or Export folder, depending on the actions you take. FCOT format files are stored in one of three formats:
• questions (.fcot)
• test (.fcott)
• test and questions (.fcottq)
When exporting files from FCOT format into FCOT Txt format, the resulting file is put in FCOT > Exports > FCOT Txt. When importing files from FCOT Txt format, the files are put in FCOT > Imports > FCOT Txt before processing starts.
If you plan to import or export multiple question files, click Back after each import/export to return to the appropriate screen and import/export the next file.

Skip/Prompt     
When importing a file where the filename already exists, Indicate whether to prompt the user before importing or exporting files, giving you the option to overwrite or skip files.
Post Processing

Indicate how to handle the source file after the import/export. Delete removes it from the machine, while Move to Folder stores it on FirstClass in Online Administration. The default is Delete.
Reports

Indicate whether to generate a report in HTML format after the import/export. If HTML is selected, the report is emailed to the user.

Importing/Exporting
From the main screen, click Next and follow the wizard prompts to import or export question files.
