Understanding the Adapt Desktop interface

The Adapt Desktop interface is made up of three sections:

  • At the top is the name of the migration you're working on.

  • On the left is the progress table, where you can select which data set to work on.

  • On the right is the Item Data tab. The table on this tab is called the workspace, where you can edit and upload data to MYOB Acumatica.

Progress table
https://help.myob.com.au/files/advanced/images/MYOB Adapt Desktop progress table.png

Column name

Description

Progress Item

The Progress Item column lists different data sets that were exported from a customer's source product.

Clicking an item in this column opens its data set in the item workspace.

Rows

The Rows column shows how many rows of data there are in an item's data set.

Errors

If an error occurs while uploading a row of data from the item workspace, it adds to the number in the Errors column.

Uploaded

If you successfully upload a row of data from the item workspace, it adds to the number in the Uploaded column.

Queued

When you upload multiple rows of data from the item workspace at once, it can take some time for all the rows to upload. This adds to the number in the Queued column.

The number goes down as rows are successfully uploaded.

Ignored

The number of records that have the Ignore checkbox selected.

Status

The Status column summarises how much of an item's data has been uploaded to MYOB Acumatica.

  • New – No rows have been uploaded or queued for that item.

  • In Progress – Some rows have been successfully uploaded for that item.

  • Complete – All rows have been successfully uploaded for that item.

  • Uploading – The rows you've selected to upload are currently being uploaded into MYOB Acumatica.

  • Not Uploaded Directly – This progress Item does not have an Upload button. It means you can't upload data directly from this progress item. This data could be part of the pre-migration checklist, config or detail data, which is loaded with a header record in a later (usually the next) progress item.

Totals

The Totals row tallies the numbers in each column of the progress table.

https://help.myob.com.au/files/advanced/images/truncate time icon.png

Excel

https://help.myob.com.au/files/advanced/images/Excel icon.png

Lets you export your changes for a progress item to Microsoft Excel. You can then import those changes to another migration.

This is handy for doing a migration to a production site after first trying your changes in a test migration, or if you're migrating multiple sites that use the same basic setup for certain data types and progress items.

Actions

https://help.myob.com.au/files/advanced/images/actions icon.png

The options in the Actions dropdown change depending on what item you're working on. For example:

Grid Utilities

Where do data field names come from?
  • Progress item names match the screen in MYOB Acumatica that data will be uploaded to.

  • For MYOB Acumatica screens with multiple tabs, the progress item name is now the MYOB Acumatica screen name followed by a dash and the tab name. E.g., Progress Item Name – Tab.

  • Column names match the MYOB Acumatica field that data will be uploaded to.

  • Mapping screens describe their use. E.g., Branch Map, Supplier payment, Method Map.
