====== How to re-use configurations ======

On certain occasions you may want to integrate all or parts of configurations of other systems into your system to re-use the definitions of business objects, business rules and other elements. For example, you might want to integrate certain aspects of sample applications into your system. To do this:

  - Create a business space representing the system you want to re-use – see the “[[docs:2500_config_apps:2200_add_edit_bus_space|Adding/Editing Business Spaces]]” section.
  - Import the configuration you want to re-use from a BSV file – see the “[[docs:2500_config_apps:0200_work_bsv:1200_importing_bsv|Importing Business Space Version]]” section.
  - Copy and paste the elements you want to re-use into your system (see the “[[docs:2500_config_apps:0300_work_config_elements:0400_copying_elements|Copying]] and [[docs:2500_config_apps:0300_work_config_elements:0400_pasting_elements|Pasting]] Elements” sections)
  - Make the necessary adjustments to the copied elements if required.
  - Check integrity of the version to make sure that it remains consistent – see the “[[docs:2500_config_apps:0200_work_bsv:0500_checking_version_integrity|Checking Version Integrity]]” section.
