How do I use Dataloader to batch updates?

Question

I am able to write entries in a Process-conf.xml file to download data from SFDC objects by writing SOQL queries. However, I now want to update certain fields in an object.

Specifically, I have a CSV file containing ID, OwnerID and Status columns. I want to use this to update the OwnerID and Status fields in the Lead object, based on the matching ID.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ken,

- this will be a cakewalk. First create a CSV File with first column as ID , second field as Owner ID and then third one as Status.

- use dataloader or either use dataloader.io (free, just type dataloader.io in a browser)

Select the update operation load this file , automap the fields and start the job. Boom !
