Upload Tasks & Notes

The Upload Tasks & Notes batch action will allow you to create or update tasks and/or notes in mass. This can be useful if you have captured tasks or notes about people in another system and want to import that information into TouchPoint. Though most task and note mass edits can be done using the available Mass Actions, there may be times in which you need to use the Upload Tasks & Notes feature.

Here are some examples:

  • The OwnerId needs changed on several tasks/notes

  • The CreatedDate needs changed on several tasks/notes

  • The LimitToRole needs changed on several tasks/notes

Note

The Admin role is required to perform the following steps.

Step 4

Open the file in Excel and use the information on Row 2 of the spreadsheet as a guide for the information needed when adding additional tasks or notes. Save your changes.

Important

The columns are case and space sensitive. Pay close attention and make sure the information you put in the column matches exactly what is in TouchPoint. If you are adding/editing the LimitToRole column, the role you are adding must already exist in TouchPoint.
