Freezer Pro Plugins for Excel

Excel AddOn for FreezerPro Cloud

The Excel AddOn has been updated and now functions with cloud FreezerPro starting from release 7.5.1. While it enables users to update Sample Sources in bulk, the process can be awkward due to the requirement of updating each source individually. This AddOn cannot be used by cloud users who wish to update multiple sources simultaneously if the number is in the several hundreds, as this would be impractical.

RestAPI for Bulk Updates

For users who are unable to utilize the Excel AddOn for bulk updates, the RestAPI presents an alternative solution. This method does require a significant amount of programming, which may not be suitable for all users. However, it allows for bulk updating of Sample Sources, which can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with a large number of records.

CSV File Updates

Updating Sample Sources via a CSV file has been noted as helpful. This method offers a more user-friendly approach for users who may not have the programming skills necessary to use the RestAPI or find the Excel AddOn cumbersome for large-scale updates. The CSV file update functionality aligns with user needs for efficient and less complex bulk changes to Sample Sources.
