Using the wizard for CSV files
The DataMapper wizard for CSV files helps you create a data mapping configuration for a CSV
file. The wizard automatically detects delimiters and extracts all data in one extraction step.
The wizard interprets each line in the file as a record. If your data file contains transactional
data, you will probably want more lines to go in one record and put the transactional data in
detail tables.
The wizard cannot create detail tables. If the file contains transactional data, the data mapping
configuration is best created without a wizard (see "Creating a new data mapping
configuration" on page80).
There are two ways to open a CSV file with a wizard: from the Welcome screen or from the File
menu.
