Importing Data

To import fax server data from an external ASCII file, choose the Tools | Import command and follow the instructions in the Import wizard.  
 

NOTE:

Before you import data from a text file, try exporting data from FACSys. Look at the resulting ASCII file to see how the import file must be structured.

When you are importing data from an external file, the file must be structured as follows:  

· Your import file must be in ASCII format, where each field is separated by a comma delimiter.

· The first row of the file must contain the file's header information. FACSys will read the header, count the delimiters, and determine the expected number of fields.

· Quotes surrounding the import fields are only required when there is a comma included within a field. For example, " Your Software Company, Inc." requires surrounding quotes to be read as a single field.

· FACSys will strip out any leading or trailing spaces in a field.
