Good afternoon –
I am attempting to import a sizable list of people and companies into an OroCRM installation. I see that the data template for importing an Account contains what appear to be 3 associated contacts:
- Default Contact First Name
Default Contact Last Name
Contacts1 First name
Contacts1 Last name
Contacts2 First name
Contacts2 Last nameHowever, I’ve tried running the importer several times while populating these fields with existing contacts, and no association between the new account and the existing contact seems to persist. The account is created, but the contacts are empty. There doesn’t seem to be a way to import Contact data with a reference to an Account, so this appears to be the only native way to keep the link between a person and their company. It will be very time consuming to manually associate roughly 5,000 contacts with roughly 3,500 companies, so I am very interested in a better way.
Thank you,
Aaron
