Test settings for the CSV file

The Test settings button allows you to check whether the import file can be imported correctly using the settings that you have specified. The system checks the following:

• Assignment between columns in the import file and in the recipient table
• Validity of data in the import file

The test is carried out for the first 15 lines of the import file. If several import files exist in the source directory, the system uses the most recent import file for the test.

Information messages

If an information message is output, you can still perform the import.

The following information messages are possible:

Information messages
	Please note that you are importing data to columns that do not exist in the system. Column: <Name of the column>
	Columns from the import file are hidden in the selected list.

Error messages

If an error message is output, you must correct the settings for the import file or the data in the import file. The message for the first error that has been found is always displayed. The following error messages, among others, are possible:
