Feature: Import Template

Goal: Usability

Developer: Carlos Ruiz

Description:

Now you can enable CSV import in any window/tab in a controlled way for end-users.

This is, the user cannot import an arbitrary CSV file, but just a CSV file with the header you allow them to import.

For this feature to be enabled you need to define an import template as explained in the next screenshot:

Template

Name: Define the name of the template, this is what the user will see in the list of templates to choose
Window/Tab: Define the window+tab where this template can be used
Character Set: Define the character set allowed for this template
CSV Header: Define the allowed header for the template
CSV Alias Header: The user can also use this alias header on the template for convenience (i.e. translated names, avoid the user looking for strange markers like /K)

Template Access

Then, you can assign the template to be used by certain roles, and restrict also the import modes that can be used (Import/Merge/Update)

Running

When the user open the tab where the role allows import templates, then the CSV import button is enabled and pushing the button will open a window where the user can choose the template, the mode and upload the file to be imported, the rest of the process works the same way as the usual importer documented at NF1.0_ImportCSV
