Refreshing External Objects

M-Files can be connected to external databases. This way, a two-way connection can be set up between M-Files and, for example, a customer database. Customer data can be accessed through M-Files as well as through the user interface of the external database. You can refresh data automatically in both directions.

To make sure that M-Files contains up-to-date external object information: In the classic M-Files Desktop, press Alt and select Settings > Refresh External Objects.

For more information on external objects, see Connections to External Databases for Object Types.
