# userActivityType

A constant that identifies the launch activity for data import requests.

```
static var userActivityType: String { get }
```

## Discussion

The system launches your browser app with this activity when someone initiates a data import request ([`requestImport(for:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/BrowserKit/BEBrowserDataImportManager/requestImport(for:completionHandler:))) from your browser.

First, the system launches the source browser with the [`BEBrowserDataExportManager`](/documentation/BrowserKit/BEBrowserDataExportManager) class’s [`userActivityType`](/documentation/BrowserKit/BEBrowserDataExportManager/userActivityType-4ar5j) to retrieve the data, then the system launches your app with this activity to import the retrieved data.

> Important:
> The system relaunches the browser that initiates an import using the `BEBrowserDataExchangeImportActivity`, regardless of whether the inititiating browser is currently running.
