++The servlet URL of a data source will be displayed on the configuration screen (see point 4 in [[figure>>||anchor="fig_data_source"]]) and is provided in the JS object {{code language="none"}}XFC_METADATA.urls.datasource_[csv|json|xml]{{/code}}.

--Here you can insert data sets in the CSV format.
++== Creating a data source ==
--* Choose the option //CSV// under //type//.
--* Assign an explicit name.
--* Insert the data sperated with a comma in the arrey //value//.
++Open the module "Data > Sources" and click the button "New" {{ficon name="plus-circle-outline"/}} in the header of the list (see point 1 in [[figure>>||anchor="fig_data_source"]]). After that you will be prompted to either create an empty data source or import one from a file. Three types of data sources can be created: //XML//, //CSV// und //JSON//.

++* the actual data in the editing area (see point 2 in [[figure>>||anchor="fig_data_source"]])
++
++=== Import of data sources from files ===
++
++The following Data types can be used to import data sources:
++
++* **XML**: //.xml//
++* **CSV**: //.csv//, //.xls//, //.xlsx// (Excel)
++* **JSON**: //.json//
++
++{{id name="data_source_import_csv"/}}
++__CSV data sources__
++
++CSV data sources can be imported from different file types:
++
++* //.csv//
++Opens up a dialog for configuring the import:
++** **Delimiter**: Determines which symbol is used in the file for separating data fields/ colunms (typically: comma).
++** **Text qualifier**: Determines the text qualifier. This symbol is used to support special characters inside data fields (e.g. comma in numbers with decimal places).
++** **Start at line**: Determines where to start importing the data source from.
++** **Ignore empty lines**: When activated ignores empty lines during import.
++
++{{lightbox image="data_source_import_csv_en.png" title="Import dialog for CSV files"/}}
++
++* //.xls//, //.xlsx//
++Opens up a dialog for configuring the import:
++** **Sheets to import**: Determines which worksheets/tables should be imported from the file.
++
++{{lightbox image="data_source_import_excel_en.png" title="Importdialog für Excel-Dateien"/}}
++
++__Drag&Drop__
++
++Data sources can be imported by Drag&Drop as well. If a file is being dropped over the list (green area) than a new data source of the corresponding type will be created (for Excel files: one data source per worksheet will be created). If a file is being dropped over an existing data source than it will be updated. Changes will only take effect after the "Save" {{icon name="save"/}} button is clicked.

--=== Example for a CSV data source ===
++CSV data sources can be viewed in a source code view or in a table view. The view can be switched by clicking the appropriate button {{ficon name="table-large"/}}/{{icon name="code"/}} beneath the editing area.

++=== Editing CSV tables ===
--The readout of the values in the {{designer/}} ensues through the //servlet// with the namen //datenquellecsv//.
++There is a row of buttons beneath the editing area for editing the CSV data table:
++* {{ficon name="plus-circle"/}} **Insert**: Inserts new rows or columns relative to the selected cell.
++* {{ficon name="trash-alt2"/}} **Remove**: Removes the selected row(s) or column(s) or empties the selected cell.
++* {{icon name="upload"/}} **Import**: Opens up the [[dialog for importing CSV data sources>>||anchor="data_source_import_csv"]].
++* {{icon name="code"/}} **Source code view**: Switches to source code view.
++
++=== Header of CSV data sources ===
++
++There is an additional option for CSV data sources in the data source settings. The option **First row is header** determines how the values of the data sources are being accessed via its servlet ({{code language="none"}}XFC_METADATA.urls.datasource_csv{{/code}}):
++
++* **Activated**:
++The cells of the first row will be used as {{code language="none"}}keys{{/code}} for accessing the values of the respective columns (see [[example>>||anchor="data_source_csv_example"]]).
++* **Deactivated**:
++The {{code language="none"}}keys{{/code}} for accessing the values of individual data fields/ rows are enumerated, starting with {{code language="none"}}0{{/code}}. These keys have the following form: {{code language="none"}}colX{{/code}} where {{code language="none"}}X{{/code}} stands for the column index.
