Add Data Import Status to sitemap of Model Driven App

By
The Data Import feature of MS CRM helps you to import data in bulk by using an Excel template.

Now, when you import Excel data to CRM, CRM provides you with the great feature of observing the data import status immediately in the same window.
But what if users want to see their status after some time? Then they need to navigate to advanced settings -> Data Management -> Import
This requires a lot of clicking to just see the status of the data import.
 
To avoid this issue, we will add data import to the sitemap of the model-driven app. You just need to add URL subarea to your sitemap.
 
Follow below steps to add URL subarea to sitemap
1. Open your model driven app from solution
2. Customize the sitemap
3. Add subarea to your sitemap
4. Select Type as a URL
5. Mentioned below URL to see Data Import Status
6. Give some meaning title like Data Import Status
 
Format of URL should be like below :
 /main.aspx?appid=[YourAppID]&pagetype=entitylist&etn=importfile
Replace [YourAppID] with your model-driven app ID.

e.g. :

eLearn Model-Driven app : 

eLearn Model-Driven app :






Add subarea to your sitemap and give URL in proper format

Sitemap customization








 

Now publish your sitemap and model-driven app and play it. You will be able to see Data Import Status in the sitemap, and on clicking on it, you will be able to navigate to the respective environment's data import page :)

 In this blog we will see how we can use stored procedure to transform our data in ADF.  For better understanding you can check my previous blog for better understanding. When we integrate CRM data to external system SQL, then for  Option-Set fields present in CRM, we get Option-Set values and not Text value. eg. we have Credit Hold option set field in CRM and after integration we are getting option set value. To solve this problem we will create OptionSetMetaData table in SQL which will store details about option-set fields SQL query to create OptionSetMetaData table CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OptionSetMetadata]( [ID] [uniqueidentifier] NULL, [EntityName] [varchar](50) NULL, [OptionSetFieldName] [varchar](50) NULL, [OptionSetText] [varchar](50) NULL, [OptionSetValue] [int] NULL ) //To Insert Records in sql Table Insert Into OptionSetMetadata Values (NEWID(), 'account', 'Credit Hold', 'Yes', 1) Insert Into OptionSetMetadata Values (NEWID(), 'account...
