Configure Mappings for CSV Import
Before configuring the CSV mapping, the user first needs to determine three properties of the CSV files that the user is importing:
- Header row: The first row in a CSV file may contain column names. If a header row is present, columns can be referenced by name in the CSV mapping. Otherwise, columns will need to be referenced by their index (position) in the CSV file.
- Delimiter: A certain character that delimits two values in a CSV file. Notification supports commas, semicolons, spaces and tabs as delimiter.
- Quotation mark: Surrounding individual values with quotation marks allows the use of delimiter characters within values. Notification supports single quotes and double quotes as quotation marks.
NOTE 1:
CSV files exported from Excel by default have the following properties:
Header row: Yes
Delimiter: Comma
Quotation mark: Double quote.
NOTE 2:
If the character used as quotation mark appears within quoted values, the character must be escaped by doubling the corresponding character. This escaping process is typically performed by the process that creates a CSV file from a data source.
- Do the following to create a new import mapping:
a. Click New: The Create mapping as dialog box displays.
b. Enter a name for mapping in the Create mapping as dialog box.
c. Click OK: The Mapping field is populated with the name specified for the mapping.
d. Select the Header row check box if the user want to specify a title for the CSV file.
e. Select a separator from the Delimiter drop-down list.
f. In the Columns section, map a CSV Column with a notification property. For mapping, select a CSV column option from the CSV Column drop-down list and select a notification property for the corresponding CSV Column option from the Notification Property drop-down list. For example, Column 1(A) of CSV Column can be mapped to First Name of the Notification Property. You can correlate the alphabet A from the mapping column with the Microsoft Excel column header A, if Microsoft Excel is used to view the CSV file. Also, assign an individual recipient to the recipient group. To do this, select the appropriate CSV column from the CSV Column drop-down list and map to the recipient group from the Notification Property drop-down list.
NOTE 1: The recipient group to be used during import of CSV file must be first created in theNotification.
NOTE 2: The individual recipient will not be assigned to the recipient group if the corresponding value of the group in the CSV is either of the given values— "", " ", "0", "NO", or "FALSE". For values other than those mentioned above, the individual recipient will be assigned to the recipient group.
g. Select a quotation type from the Quotations drop-down list.
h. Click Save.

For example, First name of the Active Directory Property can be mapped to First Name of Notification Property.
NOTE: Each Active Directory property has a real name and a display name, for example, givenName is the real name of an Active Directory property with display name as First name. The properties listed in the Active Directory Property drop-down list are the display names of the real Active Directory properties. If user wants to use any property not listed in the drop-down list then type the real name of the Active Directory property. In order to get the real name of the Active Directory property, a tool which shows real Active Directory property name and its display name must be used, for example, Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7.
