Actions over the Form Designer
The actions available to work with the DynaForm designer are located at the upper right-hand corner of the designer.

Each one of these options and their functionality is explained next.

Import
This option imports and replaces the current design of the DynaForm for the definition of a .json file that contains the definition of another DynaForm. Click on this option and a message box opens:
Click "Cancel" to close the message box and return to the designer. Click "Accept" to close the message box and select the .json file that will replace the current design with the definition of the DynaForm inside it.
