Dear All, I would like to have the app user upload an Excel file to Mendix as simple as possible. Therefore, the user will upload a file with given column names. I was able to connect each of the columns to attributes of the entity which will obtain the Excels´s data. However, I would like the user to not have to Edit the template manually. That´s why I thought, it would be nice to when importing files not having to choose a template after creating it, but always use the template I created. Is this somehow possible? Thank you for the support! Caleb

Yes you can. You let the user just upload the document and have a button process file. In the microflow behind it Retrieve the ExcelTemplate object you want to use by either a hardcoded filename or ID. Then you can execute the StartImportByTemplate Java action based on the just retrieved template and the document of the enduser.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried to do so, but I am wondering, how to store the template. As it is not stored in the database, I am unsure, how to retrieve it. Could you help me with that?
