| File Path | Local file path where the CSV file can be located. | support for urls? |
| Date | Specific date that you would like to associate with the uploaded CSV file | What is the benefit of this, especially for files where each record has different date/time? |
| Time | Specific time that you would like to associate with the imported CSV file | |
| Quote Character | Default: " | These should not require manual input, and should take defaults if user specifies nothing (currently throws an error). Default values should be viewable on GUI |
| Separator | Default: , | |
| Escape | Default: \ | Shouldn't escape also be on the GUI? |
| Column Headers | Manually specify each column header | Shouldn't have to do this. Eg. If each header field starts with '#' they should be able to only specify this. Or leave blank for platform to do it automatically. |
Advanced Options
The following fields are also available for more advanced CSV import settings.
| Field | Description | Note |
