Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some help with a question related to data entry in IFS.

Is there a way to copy and paste multiple cells from Excel into IFS at once?

For example, if I have a single line of data with three consecutive cells in Excel, I’d like to paste them directly into three consecutive fields in IFS — without having to copy and paste each one individually. I’ve tried this, but IFS just pastes everything into a single field instead of spreading the values across multiple fields.

Any advice or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
The goal here is to speed up manual data entry and reduce the repetitive copy-paste steps.

Thanks in advance!

You could create a script using autohotkey. That tool allows you to script keyboard inputs, so you could create a script that does something like…

 

Copy (from the 1rst colum in excel)

Alt, tab (to switch from Excel to ifs EE)

F5 (to create a new record)

Paste (into the first cell)

Tab (to move to the next cell)

Alt tab (switch back to excell)

Cursor right (to the 2nd colum)

Copy

Etc, etc

 

Not a very elegant solution but it can get the job done.
