The Silverdale CSV Import Module enhances the standard Odoo import process by introducing configurable import templates. This allows users to map columns from Excel or CSV files to Odoo model fields just once and reuse those mappings for future imports.
Once a template is set up, users can import data to either create new records or update existing ones, with support for a variety of field types, including many2one relations, dates, booleans, and more. This is particularly useful for non-technical users who need to perform frequent imports without manually mapping fields each time.
Key Features
- Import and update data from CSV/Excel based on templates.
- Define templates for any model in Odoo.
- Supports complex field types and validations.
- Prevents data duplication and mismatches by following structured configurations.
- Easy-to-use interface for managing templates and triggering imports.
Example Use Case
A sales team receives product updates weekly in Excel format. With this module, they configure a one-time import template for product.product and simply upload the updated file each week—no need to remap fields or write code.
Conclusion
The Silverdale CSV Import Module streamlines bulk data operations by turning repetitive import tasks into one-click actions. With its flexible configuration and ability to update or create records, it saves time, ensures consistency, and empowers users to manage large datasets without relying on developers.
