Delimited file data source

Delimited file data sources are used to upload LinXmart Envelopes or individual text files directly to Linkage Projects for linkage.

The following fields are required for delimited file data sources.

Field	Description
Column Separator	Common characters are comma (,) and tab (\t).
Is First Line Header	A header is a line found at the top of a data file that contains a field name for each of the columns in the file. If this is marked as 'No' then the first line of the file will be treated as data.
Import Format	This field references a pre-defined format of the file that will be ingested. It includes information about the overall layout of the file (i.e. how the fields on each line of the file are separated), the names of the fields, and how the source data are mapped to linkage fields. Shared import formats are managed from the Data Catalog page.

info

The use of delimiting characters inside fields (e.g. a comma inside an address field) are supported if the field is surrounded in double quotes.
