Import tool

Hello,

I have a task to create a whole new class with multiple entries inside. Currently I have the records in an excel file. Where can I find the newest import tool and tutorial how to use the tool?

Thanks in advance,

Vasil

  • We recently had a similar task: creating a new object and class in M-Files, and subsequently importing several thousand entries into M-Files (starting from an SQL database). For this purpose, we used the self-hosted freeware version of n8n. We also use the same tool to synchronize our ERP systems with M-Files as sheduled tasks. (api access to M-Files: using custom M-Files nodes instead of http requests...)


  • We actually got our hands on an import tool, it is very tough to use but it does the job. Then we are writing VB Scripts on top in the different Workflow states that executes the needed changes. Something else we are concidering is using Event Handlers to modify our objects in case of needs, they are again tough for use but Gemini Pro writes pretty good scripts, not sure about the compute costs of these event handlers when all of them are turned on tho....
