Fig. 7-14. Confirm Overwrite Dialog
If you do not want to overwrite what is there already, click no and the import will skip
that annotation and continue. If you click yes, any data will be overwritten.
If the Confirm overwrites box is unchecked, changes are made to existing information
without a warning.
Column delimiter - This option determines how columns are separated in your text
file. Currently your only options are comma and tab. Your text file must use one of
these two delimiters in order to be imported.
Relate Column to Category - This field shows a list of columns in your text file.
Whatever is in the first line of your file appears in parentheses next to the column
number. To relate a column to a category, highlight the column in the Relate column
to category field and click the down arrow to select a category. To add a new category,
click the Add button. (See spot Annotation Category Editor for more information.)
Any column that does not have a category relationship will not be imported. If the
Show description box is checked, the category description appears beside the
category name. Uncheck this box if you do not need to see the category description.
Save Settings - The save settings button allows you to save the import settings of the
Import annotations dialog. The save settings option saves First line header and
Confirm overwrite selections, the delimiter type, and the column to category
relationship for each column. Saving the import annotation settings is useful tool
especially if you plan on adding many annotations from different files. The Save
Settings option saves your settings in a simple text file.
Load Settings - To load a saved settings file, click the Load Settings button and
locate the settings file you wish to load. Click OK.
