  • Patent number: 8819084
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for importing and exporting data in a network-based customer relationship application is provided. Data to be imported/exported between an origin and a destination is identified. Then, a set of predetermined rules associated with the customer relationship application and at least one user-created scripting function are identified. For importing, the destination is associated with the customer relationship application, and the data is imported from the origin to the destination utilizing the network in accordance with the predetermined rules and is transformed based on the user-created scripting function. The data is then stored in memory accessible to the customer relationship application. For exporting, the origin is associated with the application, the data is exported from the origin to the destination utilizing the network in accordance with the predetermined rules and is transformed based on the user-created scripting function.

  • Patent number: 7089245
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for importing data in a network-based customer relationship application is provided. First, data to be imported to a customer relationship application utilizing a network is identified. A set of predetermined rules associated with the customer relationship application are identified. The data is imported to the customer relationship application utilizing the network in accordance with the set of predetermined rules. The data is stored in memory accessible to the customer relationship application. The fields in which the data is stored in the memory are customized by a user. A system, method and computer program product for exporting data in a network-based customer relationship application is also provided. Data to be exported from a customer relationship application utilizing a network is identified. The data is stored in memory accessible to the customer relationship application, in fields which are user-customizable.
