> Configure and run the Atlan ALTR workflow to import ALTR classification results into Atlan.

Configure the Atlan ALTR workflow to import metadata from your ALTR instance and enrich existing assets with trusted classification tags.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* Completed [Set up ALTR](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/connectors/altr/set-up-altr/llms.txt)
* An active ALTR instance with:
 * A connected data source
 * A completed classification job for that source
* Your ALTR API credentials:
 * **API key**
 * **API secret**
* Required permissions:
 * **Atlan**: Admin or Workflow Admin
 * **ALTR**: Super Administrator with API credential access

## Create workflow

Create a new ALTR workflow in Atlan.

1. In your Atlan workspace, click **Connectors** in the left sidebar.
 * If you are using the **Old UI (Classic)**, click **New Workflow** in the top navigation.

2. Click **Marketplace**.

3. Search for **ALTR** and select it.

4. Click **Install**.

5. Once installation completes, click **Setup Workflow** on the same tile.

### Configure credentials

Provide ALTR credentials so Atlan can authenticate.

1. In **Credential**, enter your **ALTR API key** and **ALTR API secret**.

2. Click **Test Authentication** to verify connectivity.

3. After authentication succeeds, click **Next**.

### Configure connection

Set the connection details and admins.

1. Enter a **Connection name**.

2. Update **Connection Admins** as needed.

3. Click **Next**.

### Configure mappings and metadata

Map ALTR classification results to the correct Atlan connection.

1. Select the **Atlan Connection** containing assets for the same data source that was used in ALTR.

2. Select the **ALTR Connection** the classification job was run on in ALTR.

3. In **Classification Job**, select the ALTR job for that data source.

A single workflow run can import multiple ALTR data sources and their classification jobs, as long as they belong to the same ALTR organization.

### Run workflow

1. To validate permissions and configuration before execution, click **Preflight checks**.

2. Choose how to run:
 * Click **Run** for a one-time import.
 * Click **Schedule Run** to run on a recurring schedule.

After the workflow completes, ALTR-based governance tags appear on mapped assets in Atlan.
