Variable Data Import Enhanced Package

PeerSync now contains tools for importing data from files. The ability to extract specific fields of data from a file has been included to allow unlimited scalability. Within an organization, one generic Profile can now be created, and utilizing text files, specific information about the user and the desired folders to be synchronized can be imported dynamically. Variables can be used to dynamically introduce data from a file into various fields throughout the interface including file paths, deletion paths, log file paths, log file names, etc.

 

Field data is imported through:

 

<<#FileName.txt [section] item#>>

 

In which the [section] is a defined field in a file, such as the example file content below.

 

[Info]

Name=Cris Smith

Home=c:\mydocuments

 

Using <<#FileName.txt [Info] Name#>> will import "Cris Smith" into the path it was used in and using <<#FileName.txt [Info] Home#>> will import "c:\mydocuments" into the path it was used in.

 

Note: This feature requires the Enhanced Package.
