WorldServer can perform matching and creation operations when you import Advanced Format CSV files, with the appropriate permissions.
When you import a CSV Advanced Format file you can:
- Match both languages and attributes in the import files to WorldServer counterparts, or ignore them.
- Create new attributes on the fly.
The field and index matching and attribute creation screens are the same ones used for the simple CSV format, with the following differences:
- The header row selection is specific to the simple CSV format and is not offered for these formats.
- You select the file's encoding only at the field matching page, not at the file selection page.
- These formats identify which fields are terms, entry attributes or term attributes. Consequently, you do not need to identify their type.
- System attributes are recognized and cannot be remapped.
