Importing and Exporting CSV Object Catalogs
You can import an object catalog into Juniper Aspect
using CSV les. The CSV import method allows you to
dene object types, symbology and other attributes.
You might nd it easier to manage object catalogs by
exporting them and editing the CSV les, then importing
them back into Juniper Aspect.
Juniper Aspect uses a two le system for exibility
in editing both object types and individual objects
separately. An “Object Types.csv” le contains
information specic to an Object Type (i.e. Colors, Icons,
Object Browser Attributes etc.). The object type le
maintains the symbology data dened for an object
type even when importing into a new catalog or when
importing data into another copy of Juniper Aspect on
a different computer. Additionally, you create a second
CSV le containing object data for individual objects
in the catalog. The CSV le will have a lename that
matches the name of the catalog being exported.
Note: The single le method found in previous versions
of Juniper Aspect is still supported, but we recommend
you familiarize yourself with the two le system for easier
maintainability and expanded functionality.
Exporting and Viewing An Example CSV File
One way to easily see an example of how the CSV le
should look is to export the Default Object Catalog to
a CSV le. Select Objects from the Juniper Aspect
home screen then Manage Object Catalogs and a list
of object catalogs is shown. Select the Default Objects
Catalog. The Manage Object Catalogs screen is shown.
Select the To File button located near the top of the
screen on the left-hand side in the Import/Export section
of the Manage Object Catalog screen. Browse to the
location you want to export the CSV data to. Click the
Export button to begin the export of the Default Objects
Catalog. Windows Explorer automatically opens to the
directory you selected. Open the newly created folder
