Philip Richardson - TITAN Web Import

Today's screencast is Web Import in Titan. In this example we see the 'happy path' where Titan is able automatically map the columns from the CSV. If it's unable to perform this map we have a cool little UI which maps the file and saves/shares the map for later use.
The Import is handled asynchronously - which is why I'm hitting refresh a lot near the end of the screencast. We place the data in a queue and then parse, transform and load it.

The feature is available On-Premise, Partner Hosted and in CRM Live. In fact it is safe to assume that most features are available in all three manifestations of the product. I say 'manifestations' as it is the same product: just three different ways to 'get' it.(I'm working on a bunch of screencasts to help our Global Readiness Tour (GRT) presenters. Since I'm not a marketing guy I just through this stuff together and see what sticks. That's why some of these will appear in a 'random' order. There is no plan here - just a stream of cool features).
