l
Text Delimiter: Defines which character surrounds text fields in the file. Separators and
comment delimiters within text are not interpreted as separator or delimiter; they are seen
as text.
l
Ignore unparseable lines: Ignores any line that does not correspond to the settings
above.
l
First row contains field names: Uses the first line of the CSV as headers, which
automatically names all extracted fields.
l
Sort on: Allows to select a field on which to sort the data, in ascending (A-Z) or
descending (Z-A) order. Note that sorting is always textual. Even if the selected column
has numbers, it will be sorted as a text.
Tip
The Sort on option, combined with the Stop data mapping option of the "Action step" on
page258, allows to process only a group of items without having to examine all records.
(See also: "Action step properties" on page344.)
Verify that the data are read properly.
Finally click Finish. All data fields are automatically extracted in one extraction step.
Using the wizard for databases
The DataMapper wizard for database files helps you create a data mapping configuration for a
database file. The wizard extracts the data in one extraction step.
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198).
Opening a database file with a wizard
There are two ways to open an XML file with a wizard: from the Welcome screen or from the
File menu.
