  2. Mark one or more of the checkboxes to select a destination for the exported clients:
    • Digita FileCabinet
      — Mark this checkbox to export clients to Digita FileCabinet. If you have more than one Digita FileCabinet data location set up, select a location from the drop-down list. Exporting clients to Digita FileCabinet creates a new drawer for each exported client.
      To create a Digita Practice Advanced folder in each new Digita FileCabinet client drawer, mark the
      Create a Digita Practice Advanced folder in Digita FileCabinet Clients
