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.
