# Export an assessment

You can share assessments between ServiceNow instances by exporting an assessment and then importing the assessment on another instance.

## Before you begin

Role required: assessment\_admin or admin

**Note:** Update sets are available in the Helsinki release and should be used to move data from one instance to another. For information about update sets, see [System update sets](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/application-development/system-update-sets.md).

## About this task

**Note:** The system exports a single XML file that does not contain result data.

The XML file contains a metric type `[asmt_metric_type]` and the following records that are associated with the type:

-   Assessable records `[asmt_assessable_record]`
-   Metric categories `[asmt_metric_category]`
-   Metrics `[asmt_metric]`
-   Metric definitions `[asmt_metric_definition]`
-   Category users `[asmt_m2m_category_user]`
-   Stakeholders `[asmt_m2m_stakeholder]`
-   Decision matrixes `[asmt_decision_matrix]`, `[asmt_m2m_xcategory_matrix]`, and `[asmt_m2m_ycategory_matrix]`

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Assessments** > **Metric Definition** > **Types**.

2.  Right-click the record and select **Export Assessment**.

3.  Save the XML file.
