File list and delete

Use File List and Delete to select files to read into IEE. You can also write files or selected records to a designated file path.

  2. In the Reading File Info section select the file path and format.

    ClosedFile Format

  3. Read. Click to trigger the records to appear in the Select Records To Write section.
  4. (Optional) If available, you can select the Show Channel checkbox to control the way export files are listed. Leaving the checkbox clear (by default) causes the export files to be listed by ID rather than by Channel, and deleting an ID deletes all channels within the ID record. Selecting the checkbox causes the export files to be listed by Channel, and makes it possible for you to delete some (rather than all) channels with an ID.
  5. Click Cancel to end the operation without saving changes.
  6. In the Selection List Info section select the location where to write the files and select the files to write.
