Formation Alias Importer
The Formation Alias Importer is a new format for importing formation aliases into your project in *.txt and *.csv format.
General Information
How do I import formation aliases?
1. The file list, located on the left side of the dialog box, displays the list of files that you want to import. Drag and drop files into this area or click 
to select your input files.
2. When you click on a file with the recognized format (*.csv and *.txt), you will see the data items within the file. Select the data items and adjust their properties in the fields on the right side of the dialog box.
The Formation Alias Importer will attempt to read the files based on their file extensions. If a file does not meet the format requirements, you will be asked to specify the Format Type. If the Format Type is not one of the recognized formats for that data type, the file will not import.
3. Click on the column headers to specify your column headings. At a minimum you need to specify an Alias Name, Name, Source, and Owner column.
Note: Source and Owner columns can be empty.
4. Click 
to import your files.
CSV Input Configuration Options
As you change the configuration options the data in the Preview window will change to reflect how the software will read the data.
Fixed Width Columns: The columns in the file are of a fixed width. If you open the file with a text editor the data in each column starts the same distance from the edge of the document. If the data is separated by a column separator, such as a comma, leave this unchecked.
First Row Contains Column Headers: The file contains column headers. When this is turned on the, any heading that is recognized by the software will be placed in the top row of the Preview window. If a heading isn't recognized it will display <Unknown> and you will need to click on the heading and select from a list of recognized data identifiers.
Column Separator: Choose the separator that separates the columns in the file. This will be disabled if Fixed Width Columns is turned on.
