Import
You can use a previously saved file in CSV format to create an address conversion pattern file (see Export).
Address conversion pattern files can be used in a different project by importing them.
When importing a CSV file, make sure it matches the address conversion pattern format. If the formats do not match, the file will not be successfully imported.
Specify the [Delimiter Setting(U)] according to the separator character used in the CSV file to be imported.
You can export registered address conversion patterns to other applications by saving them in CSV format.
The saved file can then be edited in Microsoft Excel or in other spreadsheet software.
This setting can be used when there are multiple address conversion patterns.
The exported CSV file can be edited in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel.
