    Default Importing leads

    Hi all,

    We're currently looking into buying SugarCRM and I'm wondering if it's possible to do the followin

    The URL below is for a trade show which lists all the exhibitors with their info. Is there anyway to get all these exhibitors into our SugarCRM database?

    Many thanks in advance,
    dutch

    The easiest way would be to get that info in a CSV format as Sugar has built-in capabilities that allow you to import CSV files.

    Lacking that, you might be better off doing a cut/paste operation (assuming the amount of effort involved in doing that is less than writing a perl script or the like that would scrape the data from page and create a csv for you.)

    hello DutchDude,

    Best thing is that you get the names mentioned in the link you had given as CSV or TSV as Sugar supports both.

    Hi

    if you remove the filter from the browser address, you can view 20 at a time :

    Should make the copy&Paste a little less tedious.
