Using a saved mapping file

If you regularly perform a particular import, saving the mapping saves time and reduces errors because you load the mapping file instead of reentering the mapping values. When you save a mapping, this import information is saved:

• The form name
• The server that contains the form
• The data file name
• Mappings and fallback mappings
• Options

Mapping files have an .armx extension. You can use .arm files from previous AR System releases, but if you modify them, they are saved with an .armx extension.

Data Import reads and writes mappings in PC format, with CR LF at the end of each line.

To load a saved mapping file

1. Choose File > Open Mapping.
2. Select the mapping file.
3. Click Open.
    The mapping is displayed under a tab. The mapping file name appears on the tab.
