An Autoloader is a SmartSimple feature used to automatically import data related to companies, contacts or Universal Tracking Applications. This allows you the ability to automatically update information with data from external text files which can be vital if you need to keep customer or project data in sync with an existing legacy or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

Overview

The Autoloader feature provides the ability to automatically create/update SmartSimple information with data from an external file. A general overview of the process is as follows:

Once a file is added to the SmartFolder/Configuration Folder, the Autoloader process will recognize that a file has been added and start the upload process.
Once the file has been processed, it will not be processed a second time unless a new file of the same name is added to the folder.
Each record from the uploaded file will update the associated record in the database.
A log file will be created to indicate the success or failure of each record update and an email can be sent to a designated user to notify them of the success (or failure) of the upload.
If a new version of the file is added to the folder, the new file will be processed.
An Autoloader can upload to different objects within your SmartSimple instance: companies, contacts, Universal Tracking Application Level 1 or Level 2, Level 3,, Notes, Associations.

Autoloader

Prerequisites

You must be a Global User Administrator in your instance of SmartSimple to access the Autoloader feature and set up an upload process.
The user uploading the file must have write permissions to the folder where the file is to be stored.
You must not use the upload folder for any purpose other than uploading files, as the autoloader will attempt to process any file added to the folder.

Creating a SmartFolder/Configuration Folder

Any SmartFolder/Configuration Folder can be used as the source for an Autoloader.
The folder must be used exclusively for the Autoloader, since every file uploaded will be processed.
Incorrect files or incorrectly formatted files will be processed and could lead to data loss and/or creation of invalid data.

IMPORTANT: Because any file uploaded to a SmartFolder/Configuration Folder that is associated to an autoloader will be processed, it is extremely important that the SmartFolder/Configuration Folder is permissioned and labelled appropriately.

SmartFolder/Configuration Folder for Autoloaders should be permissioned such that only contacts that need to be able to upload files for autoloading are permitted to do so.
It is best practice to put all Autoloader enabled SmartFolder/Configuration Folder into a parent folder named Autoloader (with role-restricted access) to help ensure no inappropriate files are uploaded to the folder.
In creating a new Configuration Folder, specify "Autoloader/Export Storage" as Folder Type.

Preparing the file to upload into the autoloader

Define the format and layout of the data file - the number of columns in the upload file, the delimiter between each field and the field order.

You must be able to specify a unique field that will be used to link each record in the upload file to each record in the customer record. You cannot use a standard field such as customer name or phone number.
This common field needs to be present in each record on the upload file and in each customer record. For instance, a unique account number field that you add to the customer table can be linked to the same account number field in the upload data.
The file to be uploaded must be in ASCII format. There is no specific file naming convention.
Each record in the file must be separated by a CR/LF (ASCII 13,10 /D,A) character combination.
Each field must be delimited by one of the following characters:

Comma – “,” (ASCII 44/2C)
Tab – (ASCII 9/9)
Pipe – “|” (ASCII 179/B3)
Semi colon – “;” (ASCII 59/3B)
Colon – “:” (ASCII 58/3A)

This can be accomplished either using Notepad to create and edit the data for import which can be saved with txt as the file extension.

Alternately you can use the Save As feature within Microsoft Excel and save the document as a csv file.

Notes:

If any of the data to be imported contains commas and you are creating a csv file from Excel you should export the data using pipes (|) as the separators rather than commas. To do this you need to change the settings on your PC prior to creating the csv file. The method of doing this depends on your PCs Operating System, but is roughly outlined below:

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Regional Settings -> Additional Settings Button.
Click the "Number" tab and in the "List Separator" field, 
Replace the current default separator with the one you want to use (such as the pipe symbol | ).

If you use Microsoft Excel to create a csv file it is recommended that you open the document with Notepad to review the contents prior to Autoloading. If any of the data within the Excel document had line breaks within cells it will create a line break in the csv document. Each new line in the csv document will start a new record, thus you must ensure all inner-cell line breaks are removed from either Excel or the txt document.
Alternately when performing a CSV import, any columns that have line breaks or delimiters within the content can be contained within double quotes. NOTE: Any double quotes within that content MUST be escaped with a backslash \ in front of the double quote so they aren't treated as the closing quote of the column. Example of a 4-column CSV:

1st Record|Draft|"This content"|555-1212
2nd Record|Submitted|"That content"|123-4567
3rd Record|Draft|"Broken  
Content"|444-5555
4th Record|Draft|"Normal Content Test"|321-9876
5th Record|Submitted|"Backslash Escaped \" quote content
Also with 
multiple line breaks"|777-8888
6th Record|Submitted|"Normal Content again"|111-2233

If the file has special characters, convert encoding to UTF-8.
If columns has a number sign after the comma, always add double quotes to avoid data problem when processing the file.

Configuration - Essentials

These are the mandatory fields in creating a basic autoloader:

1. Essential settings in the General Tab

Set the Loader Name
Select the Folder Type: SmartFolder or Configuration Folder
Click the Folder Lookup button and select the folder assigned to this autoloader
Select the File Type
Select the File Encoding
Define the Record Type for this autoloader
Select Item of the Record Type
Activate the autoloader

2. Essential settings in the File Layout Tab

Select the Number of Columns - based on the file sample to be uploaded into this autoloader
Ignore Lines should be 1, if the file has header in row 1
Select Field Delimiter from the dropdown list
Define the column mapping based on the field columns of the file to the Record Type fields from the dropdown

Note that you can toggle the identifier if the file has a unique identifier. This will ensure integrity of the data being added/updated.

3. Essential settings in the Process Tab

Go to the Create / Update Options section and select Create / Update Behaviour for the autoloader.

Once all three tabs have been configured, click on SAVE button. The autoloader is now ready to process the file that will be fed to the SmartFolder or Configuration Folder selected for this autoloader.

Configuration - Advanced

Column Mapping

Once you have defined the number of fields, you define the field order to match the column order in the upload file.

The number of columns you select determines the number of fields you can map.
Identifier. Enable the column that you have identified as the identifier. This is important when you are updating existing records. Single/multiple field(s) is/are required to match an uploaded record to an existing record within the system.
The Table header field is only required if you are using an XML or JSON file. You can fill out this section with the column headers of the file you want to upload.
Field is selected thru a dropdown box. (see the Reference section below for information on standard field names)

IMPORTANT:
The following fields must only be included in the Autoloader field mappings if you are updating existing records. These fields must not be used when using the Auto Loader to create new records.

Company ID (Company Auto Loader)
User ID (Contact Auto Loader)
Resource ID (Resource Auto Loader)
Tracking ID (Level 2 / Level 3 Auto Loader)

When using the fields above the IDs being Auto Loaded must match IDs of records present within the system.
If used the fields should be marked as the Identifier.
These fields would normally be used if you have extracted data from SmartSimple including those ID fields, updated the data outside of SmartSimple and wish to import the updated information.

NOTE:

1. If you wish to deactivate a user using the Autoloader then select the Disable User Login (use value of 1) Field option and ensure that the uploaded file has a value of 1 in the relevant cells.

2. If the Item or App Level option is set to one of the Association options then you can only have Associations ID as identifier. The system we will force the Identifier when Associations ID is selected in mapping, and will only alert them when they try to set any other columns as identifier.

External Data Source

Autoloader can be connected an external data source to pull the file and move the file to the SmartFolder.

Select a connection type and complete the Schedule section below to specify the launch times of the autoloader everyday.

Schedule

Here is a more detailed look at the automated Scheduler.

File Layout Tab

The File Layout section is used to determine the number of columns in the file and the Field Delimiter.

Number of Columns - The number of columns you select is used to define the number of columns in the upload file, and the number of fields that can be updated in the database.
- The maximum number of fields that can be updated is 100 fields in a single file.
- If more than 100 fields are required, then you will need to create two upload files.
Ignore Lines - You can specify the number of rows to ignore from the beginning of the file. This can be used to ignore column headers, if they exist as the first row in any file.
Field Delimiter - drop-down list showing the delimiter options used to separate different values in the file into different columns. Will not be presented when the File Type is XML or JSON.
Record Node Name - Only presented when the File Type is XML.
Record Node Filter - Only presented when the File Type is XML.

Process tab

Workflow before loader starts – drop-down list that contains a list of all workflows in the system. It defaults to No and if users wants to have a workflow execute before the Autoloader adds the data to the system they should select the relevant workflow.
Workflow after loader ends – drop-down list that contains a list of all workflows in the system. It defaults to No and if users wants to have a workflow execute after the Autoloader adds the data to the system they should select the relevant workflow.
Run report after loader ends - drop-down list that contains a list of all reports in the system. It will ran the configured Scheduled Export of the report. Frequency on the report should bet set to On Demand.
Run sequencial Autoloader after loader ends – Linking Autoloaders
Trigger Formulas – enables the triggering of any template formulas that may exist for the selected record type and item/level. If this check box is not enabled then these formulas will not execute.
Send email with log when Autoloader is done – Sends email every time the Autoloader executes with a report of the upload process.(Note: The log file is also stored in the same folder as the uploaded file.)
Send email notification when Autoloader failed to complete – Sends email when ftp/sftp connection failed, or when autoloader process was terminated unexpectedly.
Send email with log when Autoloader has any failed records - Sends email when autoloader fails to complete.
Email To – Sets the email address who will receive a message. Multiple email addresses can be included separated by commas.

Updating Account Owners

When you are updating company type information you can automatically associate an account field to a user field in order to establish “account ownership”. This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Record Type to Company and Item to company.

For example, if the imported account file contains an employee ID field, then this can be matched to the user table – providing each user with an employee ID field.

Updating Account Parent

When you are updating company type information you can automatically associate an account field to a parent account field in order to establish “company hierarchy”. This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Record Type to Company and Item to company.

For example, if the imported account file contains a parent ID field, then this can be matched to the account table – providing each company with a parent company.
Example: Updating Account Parent AutoLoader Configuration:

The AutoLoader Parent ID field is an Account field that will get populated with the second value (Parent ID) from the CSV record below.
Example: AutoLoader Source File:

Action: A two column report with the Company ID and the Parent ID needs to be created, exported to a CSV file and uploaded to the associated AutoLoader SmartFolder.
Result: The Account records with a Company ID IN (278520,297733,316703) will have their Parent ID changed to 349238.

Updating Event / Transaction Parent Company

When you are updating company type information related to an Event or a Transaction you can automatically associate an account field to a transaction or event field in order to establish a parent for the transaction. This includes using Account standard fields. If no matches exist then you can select the required action using the No parent matched action drop-down.

Reject Record - record is not loaded into the system
Add as orphan record - record is loaded into the system but without being attached to a parent company
Attach to dummy account - record is loaded into the system and is attached to the parent company specified in the Default Parent ID field.

This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Record Type to Company and the Item to either Event or Transaction.

Updating Parent Company

When you are updating people type information you can automatically associate an account field to a user field in order to attach the user to the correct account. This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Type to People.

Updating Event / Transaction Parent User

When you are updating user type related to a Transaction information you can automatically associate a user field to a transaction field in order to establish a parent user for the transaction. If no matches exist then you can select the required action using the No parent matched action drop-down.

Reject Record - record is not loaded into the system
Add as orphan record - record is loaded into the system but without being attached to a parent company
Attach to dummy account - record is loaded into the system and is attached to the parent company specified in the Default Parent ID field.

This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Record Type to People and the Item to either Event or Transaction.

Branch, Company and Owner Custom Field Matching

When you are updating UTA information you can automatically associate a standard field on the UTA with user and company fields in order to establish individual or organizational ownership. This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Record Type to UTA and the Level to Level 1.

Updating Tracking Parent

When you are updating UTA Level 2 or 3 information you can automatically associate a field on the level 2 with a field on the level 1, or associate a field on the level 3 with a field on the level 1, in order to establish a relationship between the entities.

If no matches exist then you can select the required action using the No parent matched action drop-down.

Reject Record - record is not loaded into the system
Add as orphan record - record is loaded into the system but without being attached to a parent company
Attach to dummy account - record is loaded into the system and is attached to the parent entity specified in the Default Parent ID field.

This section is only displayed at the bottom of the Autoloader page if you have set the Record Type to UTA and the Level to Level 2 or Level 3.

Parent record match field ids

This section allows for manipulation of the data prior to the Autoloader actually loading the data onto the system.

It is only available when the File Type is XML.

Ad hoc upload url

This is an Autoloader setting that provides a more friendly and accessible user interface for importing data into the system as well as allowing users to verify the file before uploading it to a SmartFolder for processing by the Autoloader. This feature is intended to be used when External Data Source is not configured.

History Tab

Available after February 2019 upgrade.
A new Autoloader feature that shows a new History information tab. The list includes the file name, user who uploaded the file, start time, end time, records added/updated and status of last run.

# - item number
File - filename that was processed. If the file is deleted from the SmartFolder, the filename will not be displayed on the list.
Uploaded By - name of the user who uploaded the file
Start Time - date and time the file was processed
End Time - date and time the file was completed
Added - number of records that were added
Updated - number of records that were updated
Failed - number of records that failed to update/add
Status - status of the process.
- Processing - the file is currently being processed and is not yet complete
- Completed - the file was successfully processed and was completed
- Interrupted - the process was terminated i.e. GORT was terminated abruptly (someone restarted the server)
- Data Problem - the file has data problem i.e. pound sign at the start of the column . data with # should be enclosed in double quotes e.g. ,"another column","#111 Peter Street","another column",
- Connection Failed - external data source connection failed
- No file / download file failed - connection was established but no file was existing in the external data source subfolder
- File problem
- File failed pre-processing
- Error processing file
- Wrong file type
Process ID - unique identifier of the process

Example autoloader configurations

Uploading Specific Files to Specific Records in Bulk

The autoloader also allows you to upload specific files to specific records in bulk. Previously, if you had several files across multiple records that needed to be updated within a specific UTA, user, or company, finding each record and manually uploading those files would be tedious, especially if the files needed to be updated on a regular cycle. Now you can upload all the files in bulk and the system will unpack and distribute those files to the fields you specified accordingly.

To use this feature, follow these steps:

Create a CSV file containing mandatory columns (File Name and Custom Field ID) and the relevant identifier columns for the record type.
Create a ZIP file that contains the files you want to upload or replace. Make sure the ZIP file and the CSV file have the same name.
Go to Menu Icon > Autoloaders > Create or edit an autoloader > Select the desired Processing Folder.
Set the File Type to “CSV, Text”.
Under Record Type, select the desired record type you want to target ("UTA", "People", or "Company").
Under Item, select the new “File Upload” option. If you selected a UTA as a your Record Type, you will be prompted to select the desired Level 1, 2, or 3.
Configure the column mappings as usual.
Upload the CSV and ZIP file to the processing folder you selected in Step 3.

Note: This new option does not create new records or update other columns. The “File Upload” item only uploads files.

Use the new "File Upload" option to have the autoloader unpack a ZIP file and upload/replace files to specific upload fields as specified in a CSV file.

The CSV file must have the same name as the ZIP file and it must specify the record ID, upload field ID, and file name.

Organization autoloader

HR Feed autoloader

UTA L1 autoloader

Other considerations

Important note about XML Files

If the contents of any the elements in an XML file being autoloaded contains certain special characters it will disrupt the XML structure, making the message unreadable by the receiving server. The less than symbol (<) and ampersand (&) are two primary special characters to be concerned about. When including fields that may contain those characters you should use a special wrapper so the receiving understands that they are data content and not part of the XML structure:

<![CDATA[ CONTENTS ]]>

For example, an address or company name could contain ampersands, so should be included as:

<primarycontact>
<firstname>Jane</firstname>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>
<address><![CDATA[145 Main Street]]></address>
<companyname><![CDATA[Acme & Friends]]></companyname>
</primarycontact>

It is advisable to use CDATA for any field containing text since the contents are often unpredictable.

Note about JSON Files

JSON format should start with a data node, as shown in the example below

{
"data":[{
"Name":"Acme Corporation",
"Phone":"416-123-4567",
"CompanyID":"496246"
},
{
"Name":"Super Banana Ltd.",
"Phone":"800-555-1234",
"CompanyID":"496244"
},
{
"Name":"Red Apple Supply",
"Phone":"917-123-0000",
"CompanyID":"496248"
},
{
"Name":"Orange you Glad",
"Phone":"410-222-2030",
"CompanyID":"496242"
}
]
}
