Configs

In this topic: Hide

 

Configs, or configurations, are a set of instructions which are used to process a data file. DataSmith documents can contain multiple configs. Configs can be used to process different types of data files in one DataSmith document. Within a config, validations can be used to determine whether a given file meets specific requirements. If the file meets the requirements, it will be processed by the config.

Configs are located under the file name within the Tabs, and have a maroon italic font. Multiple data files can be opened within the same Config in the Data Files tab. Right clicking on the name of a Config in the Configurations tab will display a menu.
