# Import configuration - Data file - Separate

You can import a solution or any part of a solution, as a new separate solution. You can import from a data file that is created from a RapidValue content package. A data file is an XML file of type rvdata that contains all configuration data of the content package.

As a result of the separate import, none of your existing RapidValue content is overwritten.

The steps in this topic show how to import a data file from a file location on your computer.

You can also import a data file from:

- The RapidValue file share. Make sure the file is already uploaded as type Data file to the Business process file share workspace. As a result, the data file is shown in the grid on the import wizard.
- A file location on the server on which D365 F&SCM is running. Only use this option for big configuration files.

### Steps

1. Click **Business process management**.
2. Click **Import Wizard**.
3. Sub-task: Upload data file.
  1. In the **Source of XML data** field, enter '**File on file share**'.

  3. Click **Next**.
4. Sub-task: Select data import mode and analyze data file.

5. Sub-task: Define solution name.
  1. You can define a prefix that is applied to all solutions in the data file.

In the **Prefix** field, type a value.
  2. For each solution in the data file, you can enter a new name or, if you defined a prefix, change the default name.

In the **New solution** field, type a value.
  3. Click **Next**.
6. Review the selection you have made.
