Header Keywords and Field Names

[Mick Jackson]

Included in the user manual for v5 was a section that listed all the information needed to import from an Excel or Access file. This was in the form of a set of tables with the following headings.

Header Keyword - Field Name - Values - Default Values

Is this information available for v7 and if so where can I find it.

If you go into your Actinic v7 | Original | Common folder, you will find examples of them all in there, which will contain the headers where appropriate in them

Have already had a look at those files. What I am looking for is the choices for the data imput into this type of file.
i.e.
Attribute:
Option 1 = Drop Down Box
Option 2 = Radio Button
Option 3 = Check Box
Option 4 = Push Button
Default = 2
etc.

Anyone new coming to Catalog would not have a clue what opions are available for Product Attributes, Components etc. and I would like to be able to easily see what features I can use in the future without a lot of detective work.

The tables in the v5 manual were clear and concise and you could implement them easily once you had printed off the relevent pages and put them into a ring binder for immediate reference.

If however they have not changed since v5 then I will have to continue using the printout from this earlier version.

You will find the relevant pages in the Actinic main help file. Go to 'Help | Help Topics' and in the 'Contents' tab look for 'Importing | Valid Fields in Hierarchical Files'. You can print the topics from there.

Thanks Chris, that is the information I was looking for.
