Description
On the Administration>Import/Export page is an Export mode field. The valid values are: Insert, InsertOrUpdate or Delete. These values tell the application to create the export file for the selected entities such that on import of the XML file, one of the following happens:
- Insert mode - If the entity exists in the target system then the existing entity will not be modified and no further action will be taken. If the entity does not exist then it is created using the information from the imported file.
- InsertOrUpdate mode - If the entity exists in the target system then an Update action is taken by updating the entity with new information from the imported file but only for the attributes that differ from those possessed on the target system. If the entity does not exist then the Insert action is taken by simply creating a new entry using the data in the imported file.
- Delete mode - If the entity exists in the target system then the entity will be deleted on import. If the entity does not exist then no further action is taken.
Note an entity is verified to exist based solely on the entity's name.
These options can be very helpful when you want to update or delete an existing entity via the import process.
