The Import/Export button allows you to type the query for the Smartlist in using Media Center's [[Search Language]]. This allows you to easily copy and paste text into the box to allow you to quickly import Smartlists from other users or locations. You can also save and load the rules from text files.
When you select the Advanced button, you can do one of two things.
* Start typing the rules according to [[Smartlist and Search - Rules and Modifiers]]; or
* Select the arrow on the left of the Smartlist Rule field to display a drop-down box with more options. These options include many of the most popular fields (Artist, Genre, etc), but for even more options, select More Fields in the drop down menu.
