<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, folks. I have migrated our accession data from an old MS Access database into Preservica and I used the collection management fields to import the processing status and related info, but now I would like to bulk import/create event
records for all processed accessions (some 8000 records).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found this blog post from 2015 that describes doing so using the API:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone tried this or have any other methods to recommend? Are you using Events to track processing? Is it worth it? Initially, I wanted to create events so that we could use the “Unprocessed Accessions” report, which relies on events,
but now that we can make custom reports, it seems less urgent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any insight!<o:p></o:p></p>
