Default Act!/Goldmine to FM8 question #2 - 09-27-2005 , 09:01 AM






In your tradtional crm, you import data, and then sometimes you import more
data, so you can save your import mappings. Next time you import more data
from the same source, you can apply your field mappings by loading your
saved import map file.

Where can fm8 do this? it seems to save my mappings, but that's only one
config- what if I import something else, then want to go back to the
original map- it will be gone. I dont see any "save this field mapping"
button. It takes a long time to drag around fields up and down to find the
perfect matching of existing fm fields and new data....

thanks for any tips! hope im just missing something..

To save import orders create a script for each import and name them
appropriately. The script step is "Import Records".

Hey!

Like Johnny Carson would have said, "...I did not ~know~ that."

Boy, talk about needing a brain shift. Calculations. Scripts. I have a lot
of eye-opening to do.

Thanks.
