12.4	11	To import a form that exists in //xdp// format, the {{designer/}} must first be opened. This is done automatically when creating a new {{formcycle/}} form. Afterwards the menu item //Import// must be selected in the action bar under //More//. In the file selection dialog that opens, the //xdp// file can now be selected. After confirming the selection, the import will start immediately.

It is also necessary to define which elements are mandatory fields, if such a function is desired. Furthermore, care should be taken how the form behaves in responsive rendering, since the initial format does not take such behavior into account.
