Hello all,

 

As we're just getting started with using TMS (launched 12 weeks ago now)
we are figuring out how little we actually know about the tools that are
available to us. I've noticed a few times on this listserv that people
have mentioned having created various tools for importing/updating
records. I wonder if any of you would be willing to share any of these
with us? We have access to the object importer that Gallery Systems
provides but as I'm sure you know, it doesn't cover very much and we
need the ability to import a LOT more fields.

 

It is hard to be specific since needs vary so I thought I would just
toss out the question first and see what comes back. Does anyone have
importer/updater tools they can share with us? We'd love to build our
own someday but we have a huge learning curve to get around first!

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, we used importing on a daily
basis with our old database so you can imagine how not having a robust
tool for this process has really put a wrench into the works here.
