Smart Import errors, add a 'download error list' button

Michael Gerrard

Smart Import - as a user, I click the upload, select an Excel file. A dialogue box appears with errors:

I have a list of errors. I need to fix those errors in my Excel file. I open the Excel file, find E2, for example. I see what needs to be fixed… but I don't know the correct data I should enter. I have to go back to my Board app and close the Smart Import window (above). I find the correct data, enter it into my Excel. Now I want to fix the next error - but the list of errors is no longer on my screen! I have to again attempt an upload to see them.

Next I think, well, let me take a copy of the errors. I selected all of them, when I pasted, the ones that were off the screen did not paste! I had to copy and paste several times to get the full list.

Solution?

Please add a button "DOWNLOAD ERROR LOG". The user could click that, it would put a text file in their Downloads folder with this list of errors.

Also, consider fixing the issue where I cannot copy-paste all the contents of the above window.

Hi @Michael Gerrard ,

thanks for bringing this up.
I agree that the operation and error handling with the SmartImport could be a little more user-friendly.

You've got my vote.

Best,
Helmut

You have my vote!

+1, and noting that the error messages should indeed be much more specific and ideally configurable/application specific.

Great idea - You have my support.

One of my customers requested the same feature!

He would love to have also the ability to download the log in copy/paste or direct input mode
