To create a new Study without an existing file or template, follow the steps below:
NOTE: The Derived Participant List intended for use with the Study must be created first.
NOTE: Only Derived Lists may be used for a Study
A Study may be imported from a file that was exported from another Study or System. Because Studies now are required to be associated with a Derived Participant List, Users must specify a Derived Participant List name.
NOTE: Users can only import a study to a system with the same product version number from which it was exported. For example, a Study exported from a Discovery 2.x system cannot be imported into a Discovery 3.x system.
NOTE: Names must be unique for each Participant List and Study

Clicking the Export Study icon will generate an XML file that contains all components of the study. The file can be transmitted over e-mail in the same way that survey files can be transported.
NOTE: User-Specific and Participant-Specific Actions and Workflow will not be included in an Export.

To use Study Templates in a different instance of DatStat Discovery (meaning a different database and installation), the Study would have to be Exported.
