Upload excel file button

0
Dear All, I would like to have the app user upload an Excel file and import the data to mendix using a template I created. Therefore, the user will upload a file with given column names. How can I let the user automatically use an importing template which I have created? I tried to retrieve the template using a microflow but as the template is not stored in the database, this does not seem to work. Thank you for the support! Caleb

Assumptions is that you as admin already uploaded the correct template. You can do import and export of templates as XML file with a module like this: https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/363 There are multiple in the appstore.

This way you control that the template with a specific name is there in the database.

Now in the microflow you can do a retrieve action of that template by the name you choose when you saved the template.

Does this help?

Regards,

Ronald
