Summary
Learn about delimiters, how MindBridge uses them, and how to add a custom delimiter to your engagement.
Overview
Delimiters are characters or symbols used to indicate the end of a field, or to split up the values in a column.
Although MindBridge automatically detects common delimiters, it is only able to detect single-character delimiters, such as:
- Comma ( , )
- Slash ( / )
- Pipe ( | )
- Semi-colon ( ; )
If your firm uses a unique delimiter (single- or multi-character), you can have MindBridge detect it by adding it as the new default delimiter.
Add a custom delimiter
Add to new library
When creating a new library, enter your desired custom delimiter to the Default delimiter field.
Add to existing library
- On the Library details tab, enter your desired custom delimiter to the Default delimiter field.
- Save your changes.
Add when importing data
When you import a file, the first step in the import process is Data Validation—this is where MindBridge detects the delimiter used in the file.
To update the default delimiter:
- Find the Delimiter field and select Edit.
- Enter your desired custom delimiter.
- Save your changes.
