You can use the schedule’s file name to extract information if your collected schedule does not contain channel and date values.

The import/update process can read these two fields from the imported filename when using Importing from Text, Importing from XML, Importing from Excel, or Harris ADC-100.

In order to read these fields from the filename, set their mapping to $Filename and define the filename format in the Schedule File Name Info parameter in Mapping Settings.

The file format should contain Y/M/D to represent the year/month/day character location in the file name, and C to represent the character locations of the channel name in the file name. Characters that do not belong to the channel/date can be written as any character except for Y/M/D/C.

For a filename Channel10_20090627.txt, set Schedule File Name Info to CCCCCCCCC_YYYYMMDD or CCCCCCCCC_YYYYMMDD.txt.
