 +==== Organization Import/Export ==== 
 + 
 +The organization import and export user interface allows users to backup, copy, or give their organization data to other individuals as needed. The following details are worth noting about this feature: 
 +  * The organization data will not be readable as plain text. 
 +  * If applicable, when importing an organization file the organization data will be upgraded to the latest version of the data model and automatic upgrades added where appropriate. Refer to the release notes for previous versions of the organization since it was last exported for the values of these upgrades. 
 +  * The application will need to be restarted after successfully importing a new organization.

These curves must contain data for both relative stopping and scattering power. The relative stopping power data for the selected curve is displayed on a graph on the right side UI. When adding a new CT conversion curve, the user can select and import a CSV file that fully defines the curve values. If there are no curves present, the user is able to obtain a sample CT curve file to have an example of the CSV formatting and values. Additionally, each CT conversion curve in the site can be exported as a CSV file.
