Hello community,

Our customers use the feature that allows uploading a CSV file to the workbook to enrich model data with external information (e.g., for lookups, thresholds, etc.).

This “external information” changes frequently, yet we do not want to integrate it into our backend data (since we use standardized models for all customers).

Is Omni plannng to provide an API to upload / update the “Blank table” ? Or is there any other possiblity to update this data automatically (e.g. synch via google-slides, …) ?

The ability to easily add “user data” to the workbook is very useful and appreciated by our customers; however, manual updating involves a significant amount of effort.

thanks

Klaus

Hi Klaus, I think I understand - are you uploading blank template CSVs which customers can edit, and you’re looking to have those uploads managed programmatically via API?

Yes - exactly

The reason for this is that the data contained in the CSV file changes frequently, yet my clients want to avoid the “manual” effort of re-uploading (or modifying) the data. Instead, they want to automate this update process.
