Keystroke File Import (KFI)

Keystroke File Import (KFI) allows you to import data in an existing ASCII file created in another software application to automatically update files in Attaché 7.

Data is usually imported into maintenance and transaction tasks to minimise the time it would normally take an operator to key this data in manually. New records can be added and existing records modified.

When an import file is read into the application, the details are displayed on the screen as though you were actually entering them from the keyboard. You may speed up or slow down the import as it occurs. For example you may wish to begin the import slowly to allow you to check that the file is importing correctly, then speed up the data import to finish the task quickly.

Keystroke File Import is available through the Attaché Fast Track Plan. Contact your Attaché consultant or Attaché Sales for more information.
