CSV

Epic
Document status	DRAFT

Goals

#	Title	User Story	Notes
1	Connecting the the CSV file	As a user I need to be able to set the network location of the CSV file. As a user I need to specify if the source of the file is normal or streaming.	Normal mode vs. streaming mode.
2	Limit processing	As a user I want to tell the system that only certain files at the network location should be processed.	eg. regex pathInclude, pathexclude
3	Mapping records	As a user I need a way to map my records onto the metadata object. In this way, I can verify that the data in my CSV file is properly represented in the source. As a user I want to manually specify the field names by plugging them (eg. array) or As a user I want the system to automatically detect header rows and field names with a minimum of configuration. Header Not Prefixed by a String: As a user, If the header row is not prefixed by a string then I will need a mechanism to help the platform "pull out" the header field. This could be an object-oriented configuration language or UI element of some kind for supporting non-standard SV files (eg. records spanning more than one line).	Auto: Header prefixed by strong vs. header not prefixed by string.
4	Special characters	As a user I need to be able to change the separator, quote and escape characters if my data does not match the default formatting.
