Create Business Objects From a File
You can create new business objects by importing spreadsheet files and .csv
files using the Import New Business Objects wizard.
The files that you upload are analyzed to determine the business objects that can be created. You may upload comma-separated value text files (.csv
) or Excel spreadsheets (.xls
, .xlsx
). When using .csv
files to create business objects, one business object is created for each file, and the name of the business object is based on the file name. When using .xls
or .xlsx
files to create business objects, one business object is created for each worksheet in the file, and the name of the business object is based on the worksheet name. If the worksheet contains one or more tables, a business object is created for each table based on the table name, and the worksheet name is ignored. The first row of .csv
files, worksheets, and tables must be a header row, and the column headers are used to determine the names of the fields. The data in each column is parsed to help determine the data type for the field, but you should confirm the suggested data type is correct in the Fields step of the wizard.
To upload multiple files, you need to create a ZIP archive containing the files you want to import.
