    Hi

    I have many Leads that have to be imported into ms dynamics v4.0, however I need to populate the owner field with the account managers names.  How can this be done in a quick / easy way?  We do not use DMM.

    thanks

    Bulk import don't have possibility to update owner field. You can do it by custom application (create a dummy field and import owner from file to dummy field, later update a owner by custom application - it can be even javascript which but it have to match user). Suggested solution it will be DMM.

    One way to do it is populate a dummy attribute with the account manager name and then have a workflow trigger off the creation of the lead and assign appropriately.
