XML Template to Import Data with Odata feed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I am very new to writing Import templates for CRM. I have downloaded the template for one of my entities however the xml is not pulling in the data from the two lookup fields that I have in the entity. I'd like to be able to pull in that data as I am creating a sort of form for users to fill out using Excel. Is there a way to use the odata field to import the data from the lookup field into the xml form?

Thanks

    Hi Georgi Meyer,

    My name is Andres Guzman, I'm glad to help you

    I recommended you to create a view from your entity that includes all your fields that you need, then, you can export to excel this information checking the options to use this file to export in the future more information.

    When you tried to import this info adding new one or importing in a new environment with the same structure in your entity, you shouldn't have any problem to use this info.

    Let me know if you need additional info

    Regards,

    Hi,

    I was hoping to use the odata feed to pull in data from one entity that I have connected to the other entity and then use that in a form for users to fill out and the send back to me for upload. Is there a way to do that through odata?

    Thanks,
    Georgi
