Related Text

Related text is nearly identical to Related Excel Spreadsheets (COBie) in configuration and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in function. Likewise, it is only useful for import. The difference in configuration to Related Excel Spreadsheets, is that instead of the Source Table identifying an Excel sheet, it is a pipe-delimited list of values that are compared against the leading fields on a record to determine if the interpretation applies to the record. The interpretations are text connectors - either delimited or fixed width, and like Related Excel Spreadsheets can refer to a previous sheet with the COPY INHERITED VALUE rule, the Related Text interpretations can refer to the last record a previous interpretation applied to.
