Ability for App users to import data into tables
Ability to create a datapage for App users to import data into tables without using a scheduled task or having to log into caspio. App users can add data manually; why not have the ability for admin level users to import directly into the tables?

We are building applications for clients that will replace other databases. It would be great for their end users to be able to import data using a specified format. I don't want to expect the client to do the imports.

I think this is a very important idea to develop in order to improve the user experience. Many of them would like to be able to import them from their department without relying on us to do the uploads.

There is no yet reply from CASPIO even if there are 182 votes here and 78 (total 260...) in a similar idea
Are quite 10 years that someone started asking this.... -

This was posted a very long time ago. When will this be considered?

Why does caspio make it a thing to ignore the ideabox as long as possible.......

Looks like this has a number of votes but yet again ignored....

I don't think Caspio really uses the ideabox. They might come here to get ideas themselves, but I guarantee they do not care about what the community wants the most.
If it can make them more money, I'm sure they'd be all over it.

It's been years since this was added here. When is Caspio looking to implement this Import feature?

Romeo Sandoval commented
Importing data is a usual feature of a software program tool. It should have included already in Caspio even on first release of this software.

Its been awhile since this was first brought up.
I believe Caspio may have reasons to not consider this feature.
Nevertheless, this dev tool is a wonderful engine, please Caspio, reconsider to help us evolve our work.

I agree - there is a massive need for this especially if we are to increase usability on the datapages!

My customers has to depend on us to import their data? I has to be done!

I have a SaaS model app which incorporates record level security based on additional unique identifiers for different 'user' accounts... Would be great if Caspio also enabled RLS-based users to upload data to tables from csv / excel (perhaps with each users unique identifier pre-filled for uploads).

I believe this is an essential feature. Please build it asap.

Can someone from Caspio take a quick moment to comment on this prospective feature? Is it a limitation from Caspio's side (i.e. is it problematic to implement)? Is it something Caspio assumes can be done with third-party integration? Looking around the internet, it seems this is a highly saught after feature for low-code environments.

I do not understand why this functionality is not in place currently.

Effectively a duplicate of "CSV or Excel via Web Form"

I really like this idea. Users could be so much more efficient if they have all of the tools to bulk edit, delete, and import data all while operating outside of the "Caspio" UI. Interaction with our end users would be far more fulfilling if they can immediately see the impact of their new data without emailing us with an attachment in order to wait for us to make the changes through the back end. I can imagine a number of other practical applications of a feature such as this. Please Caspio!
