We are using the CustomerDataService.UploadData method to upload the customer data from our database to the Mappoint.NET server. However, the problem comes when we want to add another record or modify an existing record. There seems to be no way except to re-upload the entire file. When you have 15-20K records this is very tedious and a waste of bandwidth. Is there anyway to add a single record, or is there any plans to add this feature? I'd like to make it as a product request if I could reach the right person. Thanks -- Mark
Mark, Although you need to re-upload the entire file in order to modify any records through the CustomerDataService, you can manually add/edit entities if you login to the Customer Service Site Live at: https://mappoint-css.live.com/CSCV3/ After logging in using the appropriate windows live ID, you can manually add/edit your entities by clicking on the "pencil" icon next to the desired datasource.

Thanks. Yes I am aware I can do it manually, but the data in the Mappoint.NET database is a small subset of data that I maintain in my main database, which gets updated through different methods. I don't want to have to run a report everyday to find what records were added or changed and then manually add them to Mappoint.NET -- Mark "Derek Chan" wrote: > Mark, > > Although you need to re-upload the entire file in order to modify any > records through the CustomerDataService, you can manually add/edit entities > if you login to the Customer Service Site Live at: > > https://mappoint-css.live.com/CSCV3/ > > After logging in using the appropriate windows live ID, you can manually > add/edit your entities by clicking on the "pencil" icon next to the desired > datasource. > > Hope that helps, > -- > Infusion Development > http://www.infusiondev.com > > > "Mark1" wrote: > > > We are using the CustomerDataService.UploadData method to upload the customer > > data from our database to the Mappoint.NET server. > > > > However, the problem comes when we want to add another record or modify an > > existing record.
