Specifying the file attributes
The first step is defining the attributes of the file we are reading, as well as the fields
we want to include. In the following screenshot, we can see the contents of the
File
Wizard: Type
section:
We can divide this window into three panes; the first (left pane) contains radio
buttons for us to select the corresponding
File Type
. The second pane, to the upper
right of the window, contains various settings about the file attributes. These settings
will vary depending on the file type. Finally, we have a preview pane, at the bottom,
that reflects how the table file will be interpreted by QlikView with the configuration
we are setting on the two other panes. The preview pane provides immediate
feedback after we modify any of the configuration options in the rest of the window.
