Physician import process settings define how the file is formatted using delimiters and separators.
To configure formatting settings in OnBase Configuration:
- Select the import process.
-
Click Settings. The Import Processor Configuration dialog box is displayed.
-
Under Field Delimiters, select one of the options described in the following table.
Field delimiters enclose each field value. Delimiters are necessary if a field value might contain the separator symbol, which is used to separate fields.
Field Delimiter
Description
None
Individual field values are not enclosed within characters. In the following example, the values are separated with commas. No delimiters are present.
110, JAMES POLK, WESTLAKE OH
Note:Do not select None if values might contain the configured separator symbol.
Single Quote (')
Individual field values are enclosed within single quotation marks. In the following example, the values are separated with commas and delimited with single quotation marks.
'110', 'JAMES POLK', 'WESTLAKE, OH'
Double Quote (")
Individual field values are enclosed within double quotation marks. In the following example, the values are separated with commas and delimited with double quotation marks.
"110", "JAMES POLK", "WESTLAKE, OH"
Note:If a field value contains a character that is also used as a delimiter, then you must type the character twice in succession in order for it to be parsed correctly. For example, 'Smith's Parkway' must be typed as 'Smith''s Parkway' to be parsed correctly. The extra character will not be included in the stored field value.
-
Under Separator, select one of the options described in the following table.
Separators separate field values from each other. They mark the end of one field and the start of another.
Separator
Description
Newline
A new line separates each field.
Tab
A tab character separates each field.
Custom
A specific character separates each field. If the physician import file does not use either of the above two separators, select this option.
In the text box, type the specific character that occurs between each field.
