DataPort and User-Defined values - HELP

Post by niall08 » Wed Mar 11, 2009 4:11 am

I have a user-defined value set up ("VATNumber") - are these values export-able using DataPort??

I don't know how they would be if they are in a non-Able field or table. The dataport wouldn't know where to find them.

If I do a simple export to XML of all users, its there..

Code: Select all

<Settings>
<UserSetting>
<UserId>1</UserId>
<FieldName>VATNumber</FieldName>
<FieldValue>12345</FieldValue>
<UserSettingId>12</UserSettingId>
</UserSetting>
</Settings>
But the fields aren't accessible in the default CSV export..

So how can I setup an XML template to generate a CSV showing these values??

Any help? It seems that the forum has become VERY quiet recently - a lot of questions have gone completely unanswered.. :(

There are some pieces of data that the Dataport doesn't export in the csv format because it is hierarchical data from more than one table.

So, given that this version is intended for non-US businesses, where should the VAT Number for a trade customer be stored? The inclusion of the VAT Number is essential for export and SAGE report building..
