| + | ===== Using Presets ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are ensured of a regular import file (unfortunately, this is rare), you can use the **Preset** system to save the configuration for future re-use. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once configured, use the **[Save As]** button to save the preset into the database. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to select a pre-saved preset, select it from the drop-down pick-list at the top of the dialog. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When selected, you can edit the settings and use **[Update]** to update the settings, or delete it using the **[Delete]** button. | ||

| + | In some cases, a single final field must be created by combining several fields together. In other cases, you may wish to process a field as it is being imported to change its nature, remove some common text, or change its case. For this purpose you can use a script. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Scripts must be written in XojoScript (similar to VBScript) and can be edited using the **[View Script]** button. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Scripts are saved with presets when the **[Save]** button is used. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is strongly advised to seek guidance when creating scripts, or otherwise request a script from Esferico support to perform the task required. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Note:** Scripts in this context are run in a sandbox and have a very limited scope. They can only modify the data being imported. | ||
