An updated version of Cloud Converter is available this morning. It includes several new and useful features.
- Upload from XLS now allows multiple tabs in your source document.
- Includes both Simple and Advanced options for import. Simple is the same as it ever was. Advanced is all new.
- Edit Object labels and plurals in Advanced View.
- Create External IDs out of text fields in Advanced View.
- Populate the standard "Name" field with whatever source data you like.
- Create Picklist fields and populate Picklist values in Advanced View.
- Create Lookups to other objects and resolve relationships in Advanced View.
- Now hosted on a "Large" EC2 instance with SSL / HTTPS.
- Now has a fancy new domain name.
Here’s a video walk through:

April,
I’ve noticed this when IE has a fairly strict cookie security policy. A couple of ways to fix it. One, loosen up the cookie security policy. Two, use Firefox or another non-IE browser.
If that doesn’t help, feel free to comment here or contact me directly at rcarlberg@modelmetrics.com.
Thanks!
