K2 for SharePoint 2010 - Import SmartObjects Configuration
This feature would typically be used when creating SmartObjects in a development environment, then moving to a production environment. To export the SmartObjects Configuration and generate a file to import on the target environment , see Export SmartObjects Configuration. Save the export file in a location on the environment you wish to import the SmartObjects Configuration.

SharePoint Lists and Libraries should be identical on the target environment to enable successful synchronization. SmartObjects do not have to exist on the target environment in order to be created. But the SharePoint List or Library and the columns within that List or Library must be the same and have the same data types as the source SharePoint List or Library in order to be imported |
The Import SmartObjects Configuration feature can be found by navigating to the K2 Site Settings page and clicking on the Import SmartObjects Configuration link.
