Import configuration
You can configure how to import and fetch incremental data from your CRM module using the Import configuration option.
5. Select the required option from the How to import data from source? drop down. You can choose to import all data, modified and new data, or only new data using this option.
6. If you want to import all data, select the date from when data needs to be imported in the Sync historical data from field. This option will import all existing data from the selected date.
7. If you choose to import only modified and new data, the Created_Time and User_ Modified_Time columns will be used to fetch only modified and new data. The Created_Time and User_Modified_Time columns will be used to fetch new and modified data, respectively from the last imported time.
8. If you choose to import only new data, the Created_Time column will be used to fetch only new data after the last imported time.
9. Click Save to schedule import for your dataset.
Reload data from source
You can manually refresh your dataset with the latest data by reloading all data from your CRM module. Click here to know how to reload data. For example, even if you've scheduled an import, you can get the new data before the next schedule run using the Reload data from source option.
Note: If you have already configured an import schedule from CRM, data will be loaded based on your earlier selection made in the Import configuration section. If you've not configured the import schedule, the Reload data from source option will import the whole data from the historical sync date that you had selected during import.
