Completing the Validation Settings page

Complete the Validation Settings page of the Import Wizard to configure your import validation settings.

Procedure

  1. Specify an exclusion file for the invalid entries. Termbase entries that are excluded from an import because they failed a validation check are placed in an import exclusion file. The exclusion file is an .XCL file which can be imported into a termbase.
  2. Select Allow incomplete entries to import entries that hold no data for a mandatory field.
  3. Select Allow over-complete entries to import entries that have more fields than the termbase entries. The additional fields and data are not added to the existing termbase definition.
  4. Select Ignore sublanguages to ignore sublanguages when importing entries.
    • If you do not select this option, the Import Wizard adds terms to the correct sub-language. However, if the input file contains sub-languages but the termbase does not, the import wizard will not create sub-languages as part of the import.
    • If the import file contains sublanguages but the termbase does not, all entries are imported to the relevant super-language.
    • If the import file does not contain sublanguages but the termbase does, all entries are imported to the first sub-language in the termbase.
    • If both the import file and the termbase contain sublanguages, then all entries from the import file are imported to the first sub-language in the termbase. This applies whether or not the sublanguages in the import file and the termbase match.
