Dialog Import records

In this dialog, you can specify which data will be imported and how identical records will be handled during the import.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

File type:

Select the desired file type from the drop-down list. Depending on the import format defined here, the [...] button becomes active and in the subsequent dialog you can specify the details of the import behavior (e.g. with regard to the configuration file).

Notes:

File name:

Enter the name of the import file here, or click [...] to select it interactively (multiple selection is possible). The file name extension is automatically appended to match the file type selected in the field, (e.g., .csv for all "CSV for <...>" file types).

You can use the Insert path variable popup menu item to branch to the dialog Select path variable where you can select one of the available path variables.

Field assignment:

From this drop-down list, select the scheme that defines the fields in the database to which the exported data is to be written to, for the structure and the free properties. This simplifies the data exchange between customers who use different structures.
Click [...], to open the Field assignment dialog and create a new user defined scheme.

Import behavior:

Using the options in the lower section, you can also specify the following settings:

Note:

Be aware when performing an Update of attributes and free properties that data is updated but not exchanged. For function templates, however, existing data is exchanged.
