All **Trading Partners** that are set-up in the configuration will be displayed in the list, along with any other information related to those **Trading Partners**, as above.

You are able to **Export** an individual **Trading Partner** at a time into a **Statelake Template** file. The default extension of the file is .SL_CFG.

Select the partner you want to **Export**, and you will be prompted to confirm when you right-click on the selected line.

The **Export Settings** window displays your selected **Trading Partner**. At the bottom left corner of the window is a tick box to allow the save date and time to be included in the name of the saved **Template** file. To select this option, tick the box. Leaving the option unticked will not record these details as part of the file name.
