Example: importing dictionaries

Import with code generation

Let’s look at an example of how this wizard can be used. Suppose the user has the following form in which the displayed rows are almost all dictionary items,

and that they want to import those items into the shared table, generating codes based on the primary language (English). The outcome is:

i.e. based on the description of the dictionary item in the primary language, the system tries to generate a mnemonic code by completing the following steps:

• deleting from the description any characters that are not permitted in codes, e.g. the "/" character from the "Need for L/T Financing" item
• deletes any spaces at the start or end
• concatenates the remaining words, removing any characters at the end if the concatenation exceeds 25 characters

If, however, the items were imported into the shared table with an indication that the codes of the new items must be determined on the basis of a progressive number, the outcome is:
