6.24.2 Editing the CSV file
'Site' is exported into a CSV file. Customer-specific data,
e.g., the customer texts, is edited or added in this file. Afterwards, the CSV file is
imported back into the 'Site'.
CAD ID and note
The 'CAD-ID' and 'Note' columns of the CSV file can be used to save additional
information that is not shown in Engineering Tool or at the station, e.g., the CAD-
based position of the corresponding node. The text must be no more than 40
characters for each cell. The text is only visible in the CSV file.
Editing customer text
l
Edit the text in the 'Customer text' column.
Length of customer text
A customer text must be no more than 40 characters. If a customer text contains
more than 40 characters in the CSV file, the text is shortened to 40 characters
automatically when it is imported. A warning is shown in the 'CSV import log' if the
customer text has been shortened.
