Hello, 

Is there any way to extract a file (XML) with setting we have in Board?

This can be very useful to check if layouts are well set without going into each of them.

    Hello,

     

    if you refer to setup of the objects into a capsule (layout, label, etc), you can extract metadata for the capsule. Open your capsule, go to System menu and click on "Extract Metadata". In the pop up window check box "Generate documentation for the current capsule", insert the path where to extract the file and presso "OK" button.
    After a while, you find into the directory a xml file for each screen.
    Into the xml you find all the structure of the screen, including properties, objects inside the screen, layouts, entities and cubes used in layouts, etc.
    The problem is that it's not so easy to use it to compare layout between screens, but you can try.
