Changing the Field Length

The length of the field is automatically displayed in the Length column after selecting a field.

If you are importing data with fixed field lengths, the length of the fields in the import format need to correspond exactly to the lengths in the import file. You can determine that only a certain number of characters are exported in your export format.

To change the length of a field:

  1. Click in the Length column.
  2. Enter the desired length.
  3. Confirm your settings with either Tab or the cursor keys.
Note: If the external field for an import is longer than the field in Aurea CRM (e.g. Company field: 120 characters in Aurea CRM; 130 characters externally) enter the external length nonetheless. The characters that exceed the maximum field length are not imported. If you wish to import all characters into Aurea CRM, you need to import these characters into another field.
