Data can be imported in two ways within Dynamics CRM 2011 system. These are explained as follows:
Using Import Wizard: Dynamics CRM 2011 provides Import Data Wizard for quick and easy data import. Import Data Wizard can import data from any of the following supported file types:
XML Spreadsheet 2003 (XMLSS) file (
.xml
) formatCSV
TXT with columns separated by commas
ZIP (A
.zip
file can include multiple files of the.csv
,.xml
, or.txt
formats. All files in a single compressed file must be of the same format)
Note
Each file's size can be up to 8 MB and if multiple files are zipped together then the size limit goes up to 32 MB of data when Data Import Wizard is used. For zipped files, the total size of the extracted files must not exceed 200 MB. The zipped files get unzipped in the Dynamics CRM 2011 server before import and hence each individual extracted file size cannot exceed 8 MB as well.
This import file size is stored in the ImportMaxAllowedFileSizeInMB
column of...
