The function "Insert from cache" / allows the insertion of objects using their keys stored in the computer's cache. Single values or several lines and in one line several elements can be processed separately with tab (TAB). An example of several elements in a row is Excel, i.e. one element is stored in the buffer for each column of a cell.
Type | Note |
|---|---|
Simple text / single value | See notes below on objects with multi-part object keys. |
Mehrere Zeilen, z.B. aus Textdatei <Objectkey11> <Objectkey12> <Objectkey13> . . . | Empty lines are ignored. |
Multiple rows and elements, e.g. from Excel <Objectkeyl1>TAB<Objectkeyl2>TAB<Objectkeyl3> <Objectkeyl4>TAB<Objectkeyl5>TAB<Objectkeyl6> . . . | For objects with multi-part object keys, the key is made up of the elements, so only one object is interpreted per line. See below. |
Any leading and trailing straight quotation marks at the top (") and apostrophe (') are removed.
The determined object keys are checked, unknown keys / texts are treated as unknown objects and informed accordingly.
Object keys that consist of several parts
Currently, this concerns the object handling of document info records that have a four-part key. For such an object, the partial keys must be combined with a separator character in the object key. In an Excel table, the partial keys are expected per column (element) or only in the first column. The following separators are supported:
TAB | Tabulator |
|---|---|
; | Semicolon |
/ | Slash |
|Backslash | |
, | Comma |
# | Number sign |
Please note that separators cannot be used mixed.
Rules for document info records
The key of a document info record consists of the four parts document type, number, document part, and version. The treatment in ProMassMaintain supports the following arrangements of the subkeys:
1. | Documnt type | Document number | Part document number | Version |
2. | Document number | Document type | Part document number | Version |
The value 000 is used for a missing part document number.
For a missing version, the highest version of the document info record according to the version sequence is used.
The system checks in the order of the above definitions whether a valid document info record is found and uses the first one found.
