Moving data between modules

[Bobhardyoyo]

Hi

I have a custom contact module, when I export from that module the email addresses do not get exported, I would like to move the data from the custom module into the standard Sugar contact module as when data is exported from there, email addresses are exported successfully.

How can I move data between the two modules?

Thanks
Ed

The most accuracy approach is make that directly over your database data following these steps:
1. Select data from your custom module
2. Map teh fields between modules
3. Insert the data selected on step 1 on sugar module.

After select the data for your custom module, you could export it to a csv file. The sugar has an import routine that you can use to map and insert these fields into sugar module.

Hi

Thanks for the response.

I am not sure I understand what you mean in step 1? Select in the database or from within Sugar?

If I import the data from a CSV file how can I then map the records to the email address fields (see below)

Also, for some reason in Sugar the email addresses are stored in a separate table in the database, if I move the data from the custom module (in the database the table for this is called f1k_contacts) to the standard contacts module (just called contacts) will the mapping of the email addresses to the table email_addresses get moved as well?

Thanks
