Apart from the existing support for importing data in bulk using CSV files, we have now enabled support for bulk-addition of database records directly within our online apps.
From the list views (under More Actions) and from the details views (for adding Related Records), you will now find an option to add multiple entries of the records. Using this you can easily enter details for multiple database records in a single page and then save them all at once.
The form for adding multiple entries will be like the one given below..
In the above screen capture, multiple tasks are being added for a lead. By default the attributes which are marked as requiring a value along with a few other attributes are made visible in the form. One can change the attributes listed in the form by clicking on the Show/Hide Attributes link on the top-right.
When adding new rows, the values from the first row will be copied. So you can set the defaults in the first row and then have them copied to the new entries. You may also remove entries from the form, before you save them to database.
Once the details are added to the database, you can return back to the page from where you came to this form and see the records you had just added.
This feature is available in both the Free CRM for Google Apps and the Free Online Database Builder for Google Apps.
Hope you like our new feature. Feel free to send in your suggestions.
