Importing Data

---

SubmitWolf can build projects from data files created by external sources such as online submission forms.

Importing Projects from the Clipboard
Form submissions (in the format described below) received via email, for example, can be imported directly from the Windows clipboard. Copy the data from the email, then click on the File menu and select Import Clipboard

The data will be entered as a new URL in the current project, with the relevant URL detail fields populated.


Data file format
The output of the form must be decoded into a tagged file format with one field per line. This is the default format of many available CGI scripts. eg: Formmail.

FIELD_NAME1=VALUE
FIELD_NAME2=VALUE

The following field name tags are recognized by SubmitWolf: Note that some fields require a specific value eg. country, language, and category. A list of these values and/or a sample HTML submission form using these values, can be obtained from support.
