Concatenate Fields

This is an unsupported feature that was released before we introduced QuickSource — a powerful, new tool that improved this process. The MLS Text File Importer is only available to customers who were actively using it before QuickSource was released. Click here to learn how QuickSource significantly reduces the amount of time and hassle involved with importing MLS data.

Concatenating fields allows you to select multiple source fields from you MLS import file and combine them into a single destination field on your form. Follow the instructions below to combine (concatenate) multiple source fields on the left into a single destination field on the right:

1. Hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and select the source fields you want to concatenate from the column on the left.
2. Select the destination field on the right where you would like the concatenated data to be inserted.

   

3. Click Match to open the Concatenate Fields window, and specify the order and separation of your source fields:

   

   • Select the source field on the left and use the up and down arrows on the right to select the order in which the data from the source fields should be inserted into the destination field.
   • Specify which character (space, comma, semicolon, etc.) you'd like to use to separate the data from each source field.
   • To separate your data with multiple or custom separators, use the bottom line to manually separate your source fields.
4. When you're finished, click OK to return to the field mapping screen in Step 2 of the MLS Text File Importer.
