As a provider, share foundational data with your consumer using foundation data sync (FDS).

Before using FDS, you must configure it.

| Step | Action | Description |
|-|-|-|
| 1. | [Create an FDS Definition.](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3xeR3eNPYFyvhJCezwGwQg "Create an foundation data sync (FDS) offering definition to inform your consumers about the data you’re ready to share.") | Define the data that you want to share with your consumer. After you create and publish an FDS definition, wait for your consumers to request FDS offerings based on the published definition. |
| 2. | [Acknowledge FDS requests and send a sample payload.](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/b4y7p6kackgunoR_RgEd4w "Acknowledge a foundation data sync (FDS) offering request and send a sample payload to help your consumer understand the type of data they’ll receive.") | After receiving an FDS request from your consumer, acknowledge it and send a sample payload for each subscription. After you send the payload, your consumer configures the incoming data for each subscription and accepts it. |
| 3. | [Publish subscriptions.](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/IMkjLnUMOe0QpPB~UA9COQ "Publish the foundation data sync (FDS) subscription to complete the foundation data sync after the consumer configures and accepts the subscription.") | After the consumer accepts the subscription, publish it. After the FDS configuration is complete, data starts synchronizing with the consumer based on the defined cadence. |
[Table 1. FDS configuration process]
