Import dataset dialog
Use the Import dataset dialog to create a dataset from an existing HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) dataset or a .csv file.
- Import From
- Type the path and file name of an existing Test UI dataset, or a .csv file, or click the Import From arrow to display a list of ten recently imported files, and then click an item from the list.
- Browse
- Click to select the path and filename of an existing Test UI dataset to import. When you browse for a dataset, click the Files of type arrow and select either a .csv file type, a .rftdp file type for a public dataset, or a /rftxdp file type for a private dataset.
- .CSV Format options
- Use these options to import a .csv file.
- Field Separator
- Type the field separator character to use in the file you want to import. The field separator character that appears must be the same as the one used in the .csv file you are importing as a dataset. If you are not sure which field separator character to specify, use a text editor such as Notepad to open the .csv file and see the field separator character that is used.
- First Record is Variable Information
- Select to make the first row of the imported data, the column heading of a new dataset. If
First Record is Variable Information is unchecked, the first row in
the .csv file is imported as data and the headers use the default headers, such as data0,
data1. The First Record is Variable Information setting is
unavailable if the file you select to import is not a valid .csv
file.Note: When you import a .csv file that was initially a dataset, you must select First Record is Variable Information to ensure that the data imports correctly.
