This is where the repository can be set or changed for the DART database. The default location is set at installation, but moving the database may be necessary at some point. To change the location of the repository, make a copy of the files in the original repository, and place them into the new location, restart DART, and then change the repository location. When the file transfer to the new location has been verified the original location can be deleted.
The Failed to Load feature provides the option to use a separate XML viewer program to open a XML file after a failed load so the contents can be examined. This helps with troubleshooting reports that fail to load in DART.
To reset (clear) the database after the database is exported select Yes or No
