Batch Entry Settings

The Batch Entry Settings screen allows you to input your settings manually as opposed to using predefined settings.

For an example of how to input a Batch Job using this screen, refer to the topic Batch Input.

The fields on the Batch Entry Settings are

• Title - This is an optional field on the Batch Upload and Input screens. It's primary use is to help you identify a Batch Job.
• Description - This is an optional field on the Batch Upload and Batch Entry Settings screens. It's primary use is to help you identify the type of data you are uploading while the Batch Upload or Batch Input process is in progress.
• Output Name - This is an optional field on the Batch Input and Upload screens. It's primary use is to help you identify the Batch Job file in a Batch Status list. If you do not enter a name, a generic name (such as IHSBatch.zip) is displayed. It is recommended that you do not use special characters.
• Output Format - The Output Format is the format that is displayed when you have performed a Batch Job, and then the file opens with that format. For more detailed information, see the Output Format topic.
• Create - The Create button on the Batch Entry Settings screen allows you to set the layout format for batch reports to your specifications. For more detailed information, refer to the Create Output Format topic.
• Archive Type - The Archive Type field defines how your file is saved for archive purposes. "None" is recommended for smaller batch jobs and "PKZip" for larger ones.
• Input Key Type - The Input Key Type field pull-down menu allows you to select what criteria your batch job will search. For more detail information see the Input Key Type topic.
