Is it possible to add/edit records while exporting/importing a file?
Operations you can carry out during the processing to export data to a file are different from the operations you can carry out during the processing to import a file.
The following explains what kind of record operations you can perform in each case.
During the Processing to Export Data to a File
You can add or edit records while you are exporting data to a file.
Note that the exported file will contain the data at the time when the processing to export data is started.
During the Processing to Import Data from a File
The following operations are restricted while you are importing data from a file:
- Adding records
- Editing a record
- Deleting records
- Importing a file
- Exporting a file
- Updating an app
- Deleting an app
Therefore, if you add or edit records to the app and click Save while a file is being imported to the app, the operation to save the changes may be timed out.
If you want to import a file with a large number of records, you may want to consider importing it in the following ways:
- Import the file during the period when the app is less accessed by users.
- Divide the file into several files so that you can import a file of smaller size.
