Procedure

  1. In the Strings view, click New…. The New String Value File dialog opens.
  2. Enter the name of the text file you wish to use to store the string code values. This file must end with a .txt filename extension.
  3. Click OK. The String value file is created and now appears in the pull-down list of string value files for the selected String code.
  4. Click Edit…. The string value file opens in the editor and you can begin to add values. Use the vertical bar (|) character to separate fields. The # character denotes a line used to label the fields in the file.
    Note: Refer to String file fields to be definedfor the fields to specify for each string type.

    The fields in the file will differ depending on the Type of the string code selected.

  5. If you are creating a string code value file for anonymous addresses, the address values must be standardized. Refer to Standardizing anonymous address strings.
  6. Save the file and close its editor tab when you are finished adding values. The new values now appear in the Strings view.
