CSV file options
l Encoding: The Designer can not infer from a CSV file what encoding it is in. The default
is right in the large majority of cases, but when it isn't, it can be very difficult to figure out
the correct encoding. Ask your source what the encoding of the file is.
l Field separator: Choose the character that separates the fields in the file.
l Comment delimiter: If there are comment lines in the file, type the character that starts a
comment line.
l Text Delimiter: Type the character that surrounds text fields in the file. Other delimiters
will not be interpreted within these text delimiters.
l Ignore unparsable lines: When checked, any line that does not correspond to the above
settings will be ignored.
l First row contains field names: Check this option to use the first line of the CSV as
headers. This option automatically names all extracted fields.
l Sort on: 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.
MDB file options
l File: Include the full path to the file.
l Password: If the file isn't password protected, you can click Next without filling out this
field.
l Table name: Use the drop-down to select the appropriate table or stored query to retrieve
the appropriate data set.
l Encoding: Use the drop-down to select the encoding with which to read the data in the
table.
l Sort on: 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.
JSON file options
After selecting a JSON file, specify if and how the JSON file must be split into multiple records.
This is done by selecting an object or array as parent element. Its direct child elements -
objects and arrays, not key-value pairs - can be seen as individual source records. If the root is
selected, there will be only one source record.
