Whats Up! Today we are throwing a #TBT to talk about a tool that has been with us for a long time on McFile 🙂

Worksheet Import is a powerful, wide-used tool. But do you know all it’s application?

Well, first things first, how to get there?

Starting step, Navigating to the admin page ⛵

Now we are here, click on the “Procedures” tab ☝️, done! I bet you tought it wouldn’t be this easy, right? 😄

In this screen it’s possible to have a long list of options. However, today our protagonists are the “import” options, that also can be many but sharing some key features, that we are going to explain to you right now 👨‍🏫

Okay, as you will be able to see, an import procedure always has one registry category coupled up to it. The imports listed on the worksheet will be created on this category, be it Topics, Clients or another. Each one of those options has a Default Worksheet that you can download following the respective link, as shown in the picture below:

Attention! Import procedures only work with their original worksheets found on their respective pages! Do not try to import any other worksheet as it will not work. If it’s the case you will need to transfer your data to the worksheet provided.

Perfect! Now you know everything that you need to run your imports! Now for some final comments:

  • Import procedures are scheduled and may take a while to run. If the data you imported is not yet in the system, please wait, maybe it’s being processed.
  • It’s not possible to stop and import! So always double check your worksheet before starting an import procedure!
  • The “Registered by” user on the imported registries is always the one that started the procedure. That way it’s easy to find and audit any import made.

So what did you think? Any doubts or suggestiond please contact us at suporte@mcfile.com! ‘Til the next time!
