Field settings

Name - Internal Tilos field name (non-editable)
Title - Alias of the field name used for column header in export.
Title (Line 2) - Alias of the field name used for column header in export, if 2 Header lines are exported.
Column number - This alphabetical field is initially filled according to the selected field and the order. Edit this field to assign individual columns.
Default value - If this field is not empty, then for export, the entered constant value is used rather than the field value in Tilos. For import, the default value set is used and not the imported value. This option allows you to make default presets during exchange.
Conversion factor - This field allows numeric transformation during the import. The value is multiplied by the imported value.
Extra parameter - This field is only used in context with Categories to specify which category group should be used for that data field.
Import - Check value, if this field should be reflected on import. Calculated fields can not be imported and are shown as inactive.
Export - Check value, if this field should be reflected on export.
