DoorKing Remote Account Manager - Manual (Page 73)

Below is the WestCon.txt file from the above example opened with Notepad. Note that the non-printable carriage
return and line feed characters are present at the end of each line. You must put these characters in your import
file. During the import process, the import program will check for errors just as if you were entering the data
manually at the screen. If the import process encounters errors, a message is displayed informing you that error
details can be found in the summary or events.log file by pulling down the file menu in the upper left hand corner.
It is important that you understand the restrictions of the data on the resident screen.
Figure 73
There are a few keywords and they must be capitalized:
ACCOUNT= account name (up to 20 printable ASCII characters except comma)
R signifies a Resident Record
V signifies a Vendor Record
D signifies additional devices for the previous resident or vendor
Y when in 3
rd
field of an R type record means ‘Hide’
N when in 3 rd field of an R type record means ‘Do Not Hide’
The columns of data in the DoorKing resident screen are delimited by a comma. The only required fields for a
resident or vendor record besides ‘R’ or ‘V’ is the directory code. So R, , , , , 001, , , , , , and V, , 003, , , , , ,
are legal records in an import file. The only required field for an additional device record besides ‘D’ is the device
number itself. So D, 65000, is a legal additional device record. Data left out will use the same defaults as if you
were manually entering in data on the resident screen. Notice that a resident record always has 11 commas,
vendor record always has 8 commas and a device record always has 2 commas separating the data. Notice that
the T column was not imported. Data in this column is determined by the Device Enable screen found on the
System Info screen.
Below shows how the data looks after it’s been imported to the DoorKing Account Manager software program.
