Export/Import Instances of Custom Objects

This section provides instructions on exporting and importing instances of custom objects through a spreadsheet.

Custom objects are created in the Objects and Attributes section of the Administration module. Through the module editor, sections can be created to manage the instances of these objects. For each section registered, an additional subsection can be enabled to allow the instances to be exported and imported. In this section, you can export a blank template of the spreadsheet to create new instances of the object, and then import it. You can also export previously registered instances to the spreadsheet, edit them, and import them back to the system. However, note that instances cannot be deleted through the spreadsheet.

Keep in mind that this section will only be available if it was enabled in the module editor. For more information on how to enable it, see Chapter 17: Administration -> Customizations -> Module Editor -> How to Create a Custom Module.
