Import Data (Kick Start) Query - Column header for 'Talk to me about'

Hello!

A member of our team would like to know whether it is feasible to bulk import text for the ' Talk to me about' section on a user profile. Is anyone kindly able to advise on which column it is on the upload file?

What also would be very useful is if there was a definition file for each of the column headers (i.e. setRoleIDs)

Many thanks in advance,

James from London

Hi James,

 

The column you want is 'setMyInfo'. 

 

The Kick-Start functionality is for the creation of new records only, it cannot modify data that's on already existing records. 

 

The best resources for learning the import templates are either the API Explorer, or by exporting the existing data and reviewing it to see what appears in each column. https://developer.adobe.com/workfront/api-explorer/

 

The only options for mass-updating existing records are by the use of a Fusion scenario, or I believe @doug_den_hoed__atappstore has something up his sleeve that might help.

    Many thanks for the response! Much appreciated.

    The reason for the request is that we are migrating from Float and we need a method of applying tags based on skills in Workfront, and the 'Talk to me' seemed like an appropriate approach to this. If anyone is reading this and has any alternative suggestions, we'd be more than grateful to hear them.

    Thanks again

    We had 2 approaches to capture skills:

    - via user's job roles 

    - via custom field on a user profile (multi-select dropdown)

     

    both are comparable
