Magic - An Import Wizard for SharePoint
Magic is a stand alone application that allows you to import data from various sources
into a SharePoint list. It also allows you to transfer list data from one SharePoint
site to another with ease! Its goal is to provide a very easy and intuitive way
for content managers, site administrators, and SharePoint power users to get large
amounts of data into a SharePoint list without having to manually enter the data
or use some other more technical solution.
On occasion you may have a large amount of data that you would like to store in
a SharePoint list. In some cases this data may even be in a different SharePoint
site or stored in a totally different version of SharePoint. Magic - An Import Wizard
for SharePoint makes importing this data into your SharePoint list a simple, straight
forward process - a process that is very similar to an Import process that you are
already familiar with in other common applications such as the Microsoft Office
suite.
- Easy and intuitive interface makes importing data into SharePoint easy.
- Import data from Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, text files,
even other versions of SharePoint.
- Drag and drop interface allows for combining fields and adding your own custom data.
- No need to make data connections or write complicated queries using Excel or Access.
Magic does all this heavy lifting for you!

run independently of your SharePoint environment. If you have access to the internet

on your SharePoint servers.
