Possible Values

Configuration Option

Possible Values

Field Separator

The field separator is the character that separates each field in the CSV file.

Comma (","), Semicolon (";"), Tab, Space, and Pipe ("|").

 

Decimal Separator

The decimal separator is the character used to separate the integer and fractional parts of a number.

For example, if you have the number 1000.1 in your CSV file, you would select the Dot decimal separator. If you have the same number represented as 1000,1, you would select the Comma decimal separator.

Dot (".") and Comma (",").

Multi Value Separator

The multi value separator is the character used to separate multiple values in the same field of the CSV file.

For example, if you have a field for "Tags" and an asset has multiple tags, you can separate them with a character such as a semicolon (";").

Complete Date/Time Format

The complete date/time format determines how dates and times are displayed throughout the app.

The default format is "dd/MM/yyyy h:mm", which displays the date and time in the format "19/Feb/2023 1:37".

You can change the format accordingly.

Reference Asset Fetch Method

The reference asset fetch method determines how the app retrieves assets based on their references. There are three options available:

Key

This method retrieves the asset by its key, which is a unique identifier assigned to each asset.

Name

This method retrieves the asset by its name.

First Key then Name

This method first tries to retrieve the asset by its key, and if it's not found, it tries to retrieve it by its name.

User Search Method

The user search method determines how the app searches for users based on their email address or account ID. There are three options available:

Email Address

This method searches for users based on their email address.

Account ID

This method searches for users based on their account ID.

First Email Address then Account ID

This method first tries to search for the user by their email address, and if it's not found, it tries to search for them by their account ID.

5. Click Save.
