Import List Files

You can import repro list files and csv files for printing via SEAL operator. To enable repro list processing, refer to Repro List Processing on Windows or Repro List Processing on Linux respectively.

Import Repro List Files

You can import Repro List Files either via Drag & Drop or via URL parameter.

Via Drag & Drop

In SEAL Print Client, drag & drop the repro list file to the list panel (My Lists) or any PLOSSYS panel.

Via Web Server

To import a repro list to SEAL Operator, you can use a Web server which provides the repro list. Add the URL of the repro list as parameter to the URL when calling the PLOSSYS 4 Panel in your web browser:

https://<operator_server>:3000/import?open-panel=operator-p4&list=<repro_list_url>

Example - import via Web server

https://my-operator-host.sealsystems.de:3000/import?open-panel=operator-p4&list=http:%2F%2Fmy-repro-host.sealsystems.de:9125%2Ftest.rli

Hint - Content-Type application/rli

Ensure that the Web server which provides the repro list sets Content-Type to application/rli in the response header!

Logging

Messages concerning the list import are logged into the following log files:

  • Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\SEAL Systems\log\seal-operator-server.log

  • Linux: /var/log/seal/seal-operator-server.log

Hint - HREF value

When using repro lists with a PLOSSYS Output Engine backend system LOCALFILE reference isn't needed. Instead the list needs to contain HREF file locations. For example

...
    [REPRO_LIST_FORMAT]
    RECEIVER            #0
    Nummer              #1
    Blatt               #2
    Index               #3
    Status              #4
    Titel               #5
    PLOTTYPE            #6
    LOCALFILE           #7
    HREF                #8
...

Import CSV Files

The import of CSV files is only supported via drag & drop. To do so, drag & drop the CSV file to the list panel (My Lists) or any PLOSSYS panel.

Content of the CSV File

The first line of the CSV file should contain the key names whereby the following rules apply:

Key Description
list.name List name displayed in the user interface
list.metadata.<item> Any metadata items of the list
item.href Hypertext reference for a list item
item.metadata.name Metadata item name displayed in the user interface
item.metadata.<list_item> Any metadata items of a list item

Hint - minimum keys and separator

  • At least, the list.name, item.href and item.metadata.name keys should be specified!

  • Only , (comma) is supported as separator.

Example of a CSV File

Example - CSV file

list.name,item.href,item.metadata.name,item.metadata.Color,item.metadata.Printer,item.metadata.Copies
