...

  • either the column title is tagged: the cell is named by the tag _fieldname followed by the field name

    • if the field does not exist the callback is called with the code UNKNOWN_FIELD (10).

  • during import, if the field corresponding to a column is not determinable, the callback is called

    • if no field tag is found, first the code NO_FIELD_NAMES (11)

    • then if there are columns that are not tagged, the code REMAINING_COLUMNS (8)

    • then for each column, the value in the cell is used as the field name

      • if no field corresponds, we call the callback with the code UNKNOWN_FIELD_IN_SHEET (12).

Import functionality by template

Problems during import, errors, conflicts, disputes: understanding how we report “issues”.

Introduction

When a problem occurs during the import, an exception is raised. It is possible to intercept this exception in order to indicate to the import process an alternative to solve the problem. This allows:

...

  • the value -4 (EXCEPTION) indicates that the planned exception is raised. The process then stops, except in diehard simulation mode, where the process will continue as much as it can;

  • the value -3 (STOP) indicates that the process is stopped without raising the exception

  • the value 4 (SKIP_ROW) indicates that the import of the current object instance is cancelled

  • the value 5 (SKIP_SHEET) indicates that the import of the current object (of all instances of the object) is cancelled

  • the value 3 (SKIP_COLUMN) indicates that the import of the current field is cancelled

  • the value 2 (CHANGE_VALUE) indicates that a replacement value is proposed for a problematic value, or a lack of mandatory value, or any hindrance. If the proposed value continues to cause trouble, the original exception will be raised.

  • the value 1 (DEFAULT) allows to select a default automatic operation

  • any other value corresponds to a default behavior depending on the issue. Generally, it is EXCEPTION or DEFAULT.
