Export multiple templates at a time as an unencrypted JSON file. The exported file can be edited offline, if needed, and imported to another FortiManager or ADOM.

  1. In the ADOM that contains the templates to export, go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates.
  2. Right-click any template category in the sidebar, and click Export Templates.

  3. From the Export Template dialog, select the template categories to export and click OK.

    The Export dialog displays the progress of the export by template category.

  4. When the export is complete, click Close.

    The exported JSON file can be edited offline, if needed, before it is imported to another ADOM.

  5. Go to the FortiManager and/or ADOM to import the template(s).

    In this example, the admin goes to an ADOM named fgt72-import.

  6. In the ADOM, go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates.
  7. Right-click any template category in the sidebar, and click Import Templates.

  8. Drag and drop the exported JSON file in the Upload Package field, and click OK.
