TCM

Import Wizard 2 - File Layout

Step 1

The main area on this screen shows the layout of the data that you are about to import.


Source data layout

You can set the amount of data you wish to preview on screen by clicking on the buttons at the side of the 'Preview data size' box.

You must also set the line in your data file that you wish to start importing from. In the example shown the first line of the imported data contains the field names, which you don't want to import into TCM. So the 'Start importing from row' box is set to line 2 so that only the required data is imported into TCM. Clicking on the 'Settings' button gives you access to the advanced settings for the Import Wizard. Click on the 'Next' button to continue.

Settings Options
File Characteristics: If the Import Wizard finds spaces at the beginning or end of a field then it removes them if the 'Remove trailing spaces form fields' option is ticked.
Database: If the database that you import has more than one address for the contact then set this to match the maximum number of addresses for any contact. Unless you have good reason to change these options then leave them as default settings.
