# Importing Controller Configurations and Settings

When users import controller configuration and settings, existing configurations and settings are replaced by the imported controller configuration and settings.

The following configurations are not imported or deselected:

- Controller Network settings are not imported

- Results and Events are not imported

- License Assignment is not imported

- Assigned task in Virtual Station/s is deselected

- "jsonConfigurations.zip" (Multistep Tightening and Loosening programs) is not imported

- "licenseInformation.zip" (License Information and System Capabilities) is not imported

## How to Import Controller Configurations and Settings

1. On the Home view, select the Controller Tab. Then, on the left side, select the Export/Import Tab .

2. In the Import window, select Import.

   An Information pop-up window confirms that all setting for tightening program, batch, accessories, and controller will be replaced with the settings of the imported file.
   However, settings for network, results, and events will not be imported.

   Select Continue.

3. In the Import pop-up window, select Choose File. Then, select the file to be imported on the controller.

   At the end of the importing process, the controller will restart automatically.

   If the importing process is interrupted before it has started, or the file disappears, the user is informed and the controller has to be restarted (to assure it is in a valid state).
   If the importing process is interrupted, but the file is not corrupt and exist, the import can be completed.
