How To Export & Import Epicor Personalizations

Epicor provides the ability for users to personalize their program screens to add or simplify functionality. In addition users can export their personalizations as either a backup or to share with others. Others can then import the personalization file and adopt that personalization.
Please note that personalization importing OVERWRITES any existing personalizations that user may have had previously. Importing replaces, it does not append.

    1. Export: Open the personalized Epicor program

      Open the personalized Epicor program from the main menu. This would be done under the user account that has the Personalization that needs to be Exported.
