The information from your source application is exported to your target
application using the field map you defined. This field map remains in effect
for all transfers between the applications until you change it.

Changing a field map for a text file

When you import or export a text file, the field map is slightly different from
from the one used for transferring information from another type of file.

The right column shows the application you’re exporting from and its fields.

The column of numbers indicates the order in which fields will appear in the
text file. A checkmark indicates the field will be exported.

You can drag fields in the Newton application column to change the order of
fields in the text file.

You can select which fields will be exported. To select a field for export, click
in the numbers column until a checkmark appears. Unchecked fields will not
be exported.
