Integrating Electronic Reporting import messages into the UI
Following my previous article, ‘Integrating ER Export Formats into the UI’, let’s now take a look at import messages. I’m starting with a very simple model, an import format and an import mapping (direction to destination). In the mapping, there are two user input parameters, ‘string1’ and ‘string2’. These parameters serve as the keys for…
