Table Operation Page

You can update or insert multiple records in a single request.

Note:

When you change the structure of a table (for example, you add or delete a column), you must re-import the table by doing a re-edit in the Adapter Endpoint Configuration Wizard. Go to the Import Tables page and re-import the same table, then click OK > Next > Done to complete the wizard. Only then are the table changes reflected in the integration.
