You can export study definition files from an open study. It can be easier to export a study definition file from an existing study and modify it for a new dataset rather than creating a new file.
Procedure
- Open the study that requires a study definition file.
- Select File > Export > Study.
- Select a file name, and select OK.
- By default, the file name has the same name as the study and is saved as a tab-delimited text file.
- These exported files can be opened in Excel and saved as either a tab-delimited text file or an Excel file, which can both be imported into a new study.
