You can import Keyword Values into a Cascading Data Set. Before you import a file containing Cascading Data Set Keyword Values into OnBase, ensure that the import file meets the following prerequisites:
-
The import file is a text file.
-
The import file is formatted so that each row includes the parent Keyword Value, followed by any child Keyword Values. These Keyword Values must be ordered according to their parent/child relationship.
For example, a system administrator is importing Keyword Values into a Cascading Data Set that contains the State, County, and City Keyword Types. The system administrator's import file resembles the following:
"Ohio","Cuyahoga","Westlake" "Ohio","Cuyahoga","Fairview Park" "Ohio","Cuyahoga","Cleveland Heights"
The first Keyword Value, Ohio, is the State Keyword Type. The second Keyword Value, Cuyahoga, is the County Keyword Type. The last Keyword Value is the City Keyword Type. In this example, Keyword Values are separated by commas and delimited with double quotes. This is just one potential separator/delimiter combination that can be used in a Cascading Data Set import file.
Note:Each row in the import file does not need to contain Keyword Values for the last Keyword Type in the parent/child relationship. In the above example, a row of data containing only the State and County Keyword Values would still be imported into OnBase.
-
If masked Keyword Values are included in the import file, the mask characters must be contained in the import file, regardless of whether the mask is configured to Store Mask Characters or Extract Mask Characters.
