Hey Muyan community!
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, efficient data import is crucial for making the most of our low-code platform. To help you out, we’ve put together this handy cheat sheet with all the essential tips and tricks for smooth data importing.
File Naming: Keep it simple! Use the class name without the package (e.g., Contract.csv).
Field Types:
- Query Fields: Mark with () - e.g., name()
- Dynamic Fields: Use (#) - e.g., Tags(#)
- Associated Objects: Dot notation is your friend - e.g., ownerOrganization.name
Special Columns:
- Want to mark something for deletion? Use ‘Y’ in the DELETE_FLAG column.
- Need to add comments? Start lines with a semicolon (;).
Data Formats:
- Dates: “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss”
- Booleans:
- True: ‘Y’, ‘Yes’, ‘TRUE’, ‘1’
- False: ‘N’, ‘No’, ‘FALSE’, ‘0’
- Root Org Placeholder: $ROOT_ORG$
System Limits: Keep your files under 100 MB.
Best Practices:
- Always set query fields to avoid duplicates
- Test imports in non-production environments
- Regularly check ImportRecord logs
- Consider object relationships when planning imports
Import Methods:
- Automatic import on system startup
- Manual import from domain list page
- Reload or import seed data
Remember: In Muyan, everything is data - from user roles to business logic. It can all be imported!
Pro Tip: Always test your imports in a non-production environment first. It’s better to catch any issues before they hit your live system!
