Matching Columns

Matching Columns

 

 

 

 

When uploading an order or a vehicle set PTV OptiFlow will match the columns in the uploaded file with the expected fields based on the name in the header of the column (first row of the excel file).

If one or more columns cannot be matched by PTV OptiFlow, a pop-up appears in which the user can manually select the matching field for each column.

  • In the column on the left, the headers from the uploaded excel file are shown

  • In the column on the right, the corresponding field in PTV OptiFlow can be chosen

  • For each column, a green or red circle is shown to indicate whether the column has been mapped or not

PTV OptiFlow will remember the mapping the user chose and will use this mapping when uploading a new file using the same headers.

If all columns can be matched, the popup will not appear.

Examples

Example Order upload

The order set contains a column 'custom' which is not recognized by PTV OptiFlow. This is a custom field we want to add. Therefore, we choose to map this as a 'custom column'.

 

Example Vehicle Upload

The vehicle set contains a column 'custom' which is not recognized by PTV OptiFlow. This is a custom field we want to add. Therefore, we choose to map this as a custom column.
