How can you indirectly copy a template or dataset from one ADOM to another?

The ability to indirectly copy a template or dataset from one ADOM (Administrative Domain) to another in Fortinet FortiAnalyzer can be achieved by exporting the report and saving it as a template. This method works because when you export a report, you have the option to create a template based on the report configuration. The saved template can then be imported into the target ADOM, allowing for a transfer of the relevant settings and data structures without needing a direct copy between the ADOMs.

Using this approach also provides flexibility, as you can customize the template before importing it, ensuring that it meets the specific needs of the target ADOM. This method leverages the reporting capabilities of FortiAnalyzer to facilitate the move of configurations and setups, making it an efficient way to manage templates across different environments.

The other methods, while they may sound viable, do not suit the purpose of directly copying templates or datasets between ADOMs. For instance, cloning an entire ADOM would create an exact replica rather than a selective copy of specific templates or datasets. Similarly, direct API connections may help in managing configurations but do not specifically address the direct copying of templates or datasets in the context described. Exporting directly without conversion to a template limits the flexibility necessary
