For example, the character A is number 65, B is 66, and so on when using the ASCII file encoding format. File encodings tell a computer what characters to display on screen when it encounters different numbers in a text file. But to a computer, the file contains just a bunch of numbers all strung together. When you open a text file we just see characters, words and sentences. *File encoding is just a way of describing to a computer which characters the data in the file represents. Another issue that you might notice is strange garbage characters appearing instead of properly accented characters. This will most likely manifest itself in Tap Forms importing fewer rows than are actually in the file. If you don’t set it correctly, Tap Forms won’t be able to understand all the characters in the file you’re trying to import. It’s very important to set the file encoding setting correct for the file you’re trying to import. The first thing to do is click the Choose file button and then select a file you wish to import. Tap Forms uses the names of the fields in the first row to match up with the fields created in your form. *You should also make sure your field names are unique in the header row.
The benefit of an XLSX file is you don’t have to worry about things like column delimiters, line endings, or file encodings. Tap Forms will not import any formatting information from an Excel worksheet file.
Make sure your data is structured as regular rows and columns. Tap Forms will also only import the first sheet of data from the XLSX file. Importing XLSX files requires only that you have the first row in your Excel file be the names of the fields you would like to be in your form. Otherwise Tap Forms will create a new field for every value in the first row which does not match a field name in the form you’re importing into. If you choose an existing form to import your records into, you must make sure that the first row values match the field names exactly as you have them named in your form. *When you import a CSV file, Tap Forms uses the first row of your file as the field names to create when you choose the New Form option. Just make sure whatever column delimiter you use in the file, you set Tap Forms to use the same column delimiter. These file types are all pretty much the same but contain slightly different column delimiters. tsv (tab separated values) file extension. You can import both CSV text files and Excel XLSX worksheet files.īefore you can import a CSV file to Tap Forms you must export it from another app to a text file. Tap Forms provides a wide variety of options for importing data from other applications.
