We've made it easy to bring your Whisper template into Spectora! Imports are never apples-to-apples, but we hope the import process gives you a great head-start in making the switch!



Creating the Template Backup

First, you'll have to export your comments from Whisper. There are a few steps to this, so we've made this video to guide you through the process.

💡 Quick tip: Click on the video above to expand it in another window.

  1. Open the WhisperReporter

    1. Click "File" then click "Browse Reports"

  2. Click "Marked as Template​" to check the box

  3. Select the Template from the list you would like to export and click "OK​"

  4. Click "File" then click "Data Manager"

  5. Select "Backup reports or other data to a backup file"

  6. Select "Backup Current Report Only"

  7. Enter the location where you would like to save the backup

  8. Click "Backup"

  9. Click "OK"

  10. Click "Back"

  11. Click "Back" again

  12. Select "RapidRemarks"

  13. Click "Next"

  14. Enter the location where you would like to save the RapidRemarks

  15. Click "Backup"

  16. Click "OK"

  17. Click "Close"

  18. Navigate to where you placed the Template Backup and RapidRemarks​

  19. Right-click the RapidRemarks backup (Starts with WR_RRBackup) and select "Extract All"

  20. Click "Extract"

  21. This will open a new window

    1. Select all the files in this folder and drag them onto the template backup zip file

  22. Open the template backup zip file

  23. The important parts are the files beginning with a bunch of numbers and letters, like xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, and those beginning files with WhisperRapidRemarks.

    1. If you have all of these in the Template backup zip file now, then you are ready to import it into Spectora!
