Import an Entity and its Records

Moving packages from one environment to another solves the problem of multiple-device working on the same project. Hence, transferring data is fast if used correctly.

Task at hand

Import the entity FTOS_Pricing and its records into a destination environment with a different database.

Before you begin

  • Create the entity FTOS_Pricing on your local environment.

  • Create a data form and insert records into the entity.
  • Follow the instructions from Export an Entity and its Records to export the data in an .xml file.
