Create/Edit Fixed Width Upload Profile
The Create/Edit Fixed Width Upload Profile page includes the following four sections:
Upload Profile Information
- Profile Name
-
The name of the upload profile
- Date Format
-
The format of dates contained within files that are to be uploaded using the profile.
- Number of Header Rows
-
Define the number of lines to skip when importing a file with header rows.
You can just import the files and skip the header rows. The first line is a header, so you don't have to remove it from your file before you import it. You can just choose to skip the first row.
- Duplicate File Check
-
Indicates whether the system allows or prevents uploaded files from being uploaded again during a certain number of days (specified in a property file).
A selected check box indicates that the system checks for duplicate files then reject duplicates.
- Profile Access
-
Indicates whether the profile can be accessed by other users:
- Private – Only the creator of the profile can see the profile and initiate uploads based on it.
- Public – Other users in the same corporation and with the required user entitlements for Upload have access to the profile.
Default Values
Transaction Type Mapping
Each transaction in an upload issue file must include transaction codes, which Universal Online Banker requires in order to correctly interpret the transaction type. The Transaction Type Mapping section of the upload profile associates each of the four basic transaction types with a specific transaction code. The transaction types are:
- Issue (issue add and issue delete )
- Cancel (void add and void delete)
Any issues file uploaded with the profile must use these codes.
Upload Profile Fields
For each of the profile fields, enter the following:
- Field Start – A number indicating the starting position of the field
- Field Width – The length of the field
The profile field options are:
- Transaction Type
- Bank
- Account Number
- Check Number
- Issue Date
- Check Amount
- Reference
- Payee
Upon clicking Preview Profile, the system checks that the entered Field Start and Field Width values do not cause more than one field to occupy the same place within the file.
- An asterisk (*) indicates that a field is required for the selected profile type.
- A plus (+) indicates fields that have a default value option and are required if no default is selected.
For example, if a value is entered in the Transaction Type, Account Number, or Issue Date fields, then the corresponding Field Start and Field Width fields are not required.
You may or may not see the plus (+) indicator, depending on how this field is configured.
