## Import

You can create a new system in the database and import the configuration data from an external text file previously exported from BMS.

To access the import feature, click on the “+” sign of the last item to open the submenus. Click on “Import Configuration”. The Select Import File dialog appears.

The following options can be selected by marking the radio button:

- Overwrite values

- To import all values. All current values will be overwritten.

- Clear before import

- To delete all old values and import new values.

- Add new values

- To import all values. The new values and old values are merged. This means that the new values are added to the system, while the old values will be retained.

The second table consists of three rows:

Run |  | Click on Run to start the import. |
Script-Name |  | This row shows the name of the import file. |
