I am importing auction items following the "Importing Auction Data" guide, and ran into a slight problem. On page 11 of the guide, under Import Auction Items section, it says:
If you are keeping track of where you got them – you’ll need
to import them as an Auction Donated Item. Otherwise, you’ll just import them as Auction Items.
However, when I go into Data Loader, Insert, and select all Salesforce Objects, I do not see the object Auction Donated Item. I only see Auction Item (GW_Auctions_Auction_Item_c).
How do I import items as Auction Donated Item to keep track of who donated them, and then convert them into Auction Items?
Your help very much appreciated!
Ken.
Ken,
Auction Donated Items are actually just Opportunities. So you'll import them as Opportunities with the record type of "GW Auction Donated Item." Make sure you have all of the required fields when importing and that they're going into the correct campaign!
