Exact implementation of the import wizard


Forum|alt.badge.img+4

In the release notes for 2023.12 b1.0 is stated that the import wizard is being built. Can you give any information in how this wizard will work exactly? We're very eager to try this.
Can we for example configure that the imported data contains column/data translations/ids or specify the used tab page in the excel? Just as is already built in the Windows gui?

Thanks.

The first implementation will allow you to change the worksheet (in case of an Excel file) and will allow you to map the columns from your Excel file to a column in your table.

It won't be possible to specify if the column contains translations or data values, for that to work, we need more API support in Indicium. So, in this first iteration that won't be possible.
Also, it should be possible to just specify a constant value for a column, because a column might not be in the Excel file - but might be mandatory in the database.
We are also implementing some previewers, so it gives a nice preview what data is getting imported.

Of course, we will look at making additional options available in the future.

Thanks for the reply!

Is there any indication when the new iteration will be started for the import wizard to implement data/column translations/ids?
