Create a Base Object CI Using GRLoader

You can use GRLoader to create a base object CI from an existing base object.

To use GRLoader to create a base object CI from an existing base object

1. Write XML that identifies the following:
   • CI name
   • Family
   • Class
2. Submit the XML.

   The base object is created and the GRLoader displays that one CI was read and inserted.

Example: Create a CI From an Existing Contact

The following example creates a CI from the existing contact Gibbs, Keith.

<GRLoader>
<ci>
    <name>Gibbs, Keith</name>
    <family>Contact</family>
    <class>Technical</class>
    <base_contact>Gibbs, Keith</base_contact>
</ci>
</GRLoader>
