Managing Business Object data

Data management is one of the crucial parts of each and every application as we may need to export or import data in bulk using a file mechanism or sometimes between different schemas or databases.

Visual Builder provides a rich tool out of the box called Data Manager, which helps us to manage Business Object data. Every VB application has three different phases (development, staging, and live) and each phase has an independent database. You may need to manage data between three phases, such as importing data from live to staging, live to development, or importing bulk data into a Business Object, and so on. You can use the Data Manager to manage data in all phases.

The capabilities of the Data Manager are as follows:

• Export all Business Object data at once in a single .zip file.
• Import bulk data using .zip, .csv, or .xlsx format.
• Create new Business Objects using .zip, .csv, or .xlsx format.
