How to update many records at once

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by benken10 66

Hi all

Is there a generic way to update many records at once? In this instance, I am concerned with Status field on the ProjTable table, but the question is generic really.

Business Central has the concept of a config package, where you can perform basic CRUD operations. Is there something similar in F&O?

I appreciate there are endless possibilities to use post requests, but at this stage I'm limited to tools immediately available in the application.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    You may use Data Migration tool or Excel update or copy from Excel to a grid.

    Do you need any other spesific usage?

    Thanks Billur.

    There will be other usages, particularly around User setup (localisation, email senders, workflow delivery notifications etc). Can I do all of these things from "excel to grid"? Is there documentation around this?

    Hi,

    Workflow is a different point of wiev.

    For Excel to grid you may review the link below.

    Many record types can be updated using the Open in Excel feature, as well as DMF.  I'm not aware of any document that describes a full list of either capability.  In the event you don't find either feature supports your requirements, Open in Excel templates and DMF data entities can be created or customized to support your needs in most cases.
