Quickly and efficiently import and export business data

Additional features to help you sync data easily:
Changes made in SharePoint list can be written back to external data sources, keeping data consistent.

A new SharePoint list (including column name and column type) can be automatically created when connecting to an external data source for the first time; this can be created and mapped according to your needs.
Track and record errors by setting a log schedule or by enabling email notification so users are notified whenever an error occurs during background updates.
