To avoid manually entering the values for lists, you can manually import the data from a .CSV or .TXT file.
Procedure
- From the Config Tool home page, open the Plugins task.
- In the Plugins task, select the plugin role from the entity browser, and click the Lists tab.
- Select a list and data source.
- In the Values section, click the Import file button.
- In the Import a CSV or text file dialog box, click the button, locate the file that you want to import, and click Open.
- From the Delimiter list, select the delimiter that seperates the values in the column.
-
If the columns in the imported file have headers, move the Has
header slider to ON.
This will remove the column headers from the list of values.
- (Optional) If you are using a dictionary type list, from the Data source key list, select the column of data that you want to import as keys.
- From the Column to import list, select the column of data that you want to import as values.
- Click Apply.
