Field Setting tab

Set field attributes on this tab.

Name Description
Export all fields Select this check box to add the fields from records in the batch index file to the fields collection in the job object. Selecting this option allows the index field values to be transferred to the next component.
Field delimiter Select the character (, or ;) that separates the fields in the batch index file.
First row contains field names Select this option if the batch index file contains column headings.
External files These settings configure how Batch Importer processes fields that specify external files.
  • Contains External File — Select this option if index fields contain file paths for importing files.
  • External file fields — A comma-delimited list of index fields that contain file paths. Each field is specified by Fn, where n is the field number (for example: F2, F3, F7).

    When the first row contains field names and the First row contains field names check box is selected, you may optionally specify the names of the fields that contain file paths instead of Fn.

  • External files must exist — Select this option if processing should fail for a record that contains an incorrect file path. Other fields in a failed record that contain valid paths will not be processed.
  • On Success — After a record is successfully processed, external files specified by fields in the record can be left in the source folder, permanently removed from the source folder, or moved to a designated folder.
  • On Failure — If processing fails for a record, external files specified by fields in the record can be left in the source folder, permanently removed from the source folder, or be moved to a designated folder.
