    Date and Currency

    Treat Date and Currency as Text

    Use this option to specify if the date and currency data are treated as text fields during the file import process or not. The possible values are as follows:

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    The default value of this option is TRUE.

    Encoding

    Text Encoding

    Set the value of this option to UTF-8 if you would like to import a file that has UTF character coding. This ensures that the characters are imported correctly.

    The default value of this option is Unspecified.

    Field Filtering

    Default File Field Filter

    By using this option, you can specify the default field filter file that is used during the import file process.

    For more information about using the filter file during the file import process, see Import File-Columns Tab.

    Garbage Collection

    Garbage Collection in Import Loop

    Use this option to specify the frequency of memory cleans in terms of the number of imported molecules.

    For example, if the value is set to 50, garbage collection is cleared after every 50 molecules. If the value is set to 0, the function is disabled.

    The default value is 10.
