Configuration Best Practices › Import Configuration Variables

Import Configuration Variables

You can use an existing configuration as a basis for creating a new configuration by importing the configuration option settings and product variable values from the existing configuration.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a new configuration.
2. When in step 3 (Import Values), do one of the following:
   • Select Import from Previous and Delete. Doing so imports the values from the existing configuration, and deletes the existing configuration. Deleting the existing configuration prevents duplicate resource problems. Then, modify the values in the new configuration as you need.
   • Select Import from Previous. Doing so imports the values from the existing configuration without deleting it. Modify the values to prevent duplicate resources from being created. You can delete the existing configuration later, if needed.
3. Make any additional changes, complete the remaining steps of the wizard, and build the configuration.

Business Value:

This can save you time when creating configurations.
