iCompel Data Engine - User Guide (V3.1.2)
Copy Media Item
The Location field specifies the name of the new media item. The new media item will be created in the same folder
as the original media item.
The Location and Name properties are mandatory, and Description property is optional. These properties are
displayed on the Media Item Finder dialog.
The OK button will apply the specified changes and close the dialog. Cancel will ignore changes and close the
dialog.
2.4.3 Text Output Format
This output format option writes each individual result value as a separate text file. All values for the same result
column are placed in a single folder, providing easy grouping.
The Text file output format allows the results to be formatted, displayed and managed using native iCOMPEL
mechanisms, which offers a number of benefits:
No custom media is required, since built in iCOMPEL formatting and display mechanisms are used.
The iCOMPEL media item synchronization feature can be used to ensure that other content is displayed at the
same time. For example, this would allow a picture to be displayed at the same time as a price.
Typically, the user would add specific result files to a Playlist as either individual text files, or using the Folder Play
feature. Note that the
Character set option for the media item on the iCOMPEL should be set to UTF-8.
Output Location
The exact destination filenames are dependent upon the iCompel Data Engine (iDE) Source Data, Destination and
iCOMPEL (iCOMPEL) User settings.
