Headers from data tab

Sources

Use the Headers From Data tab to configure headers from data profiles. Headers from data profiles consist of information that Barr EOM can extract from specified location within the actual document data. Barr EOM can extract data from documents in various formats including ASCII, ASCII with ASA, S/370, and VBM.

Only advanced users and professional service engineers should configure these profiles. You can access this dialog box from the Document Properties Profile dialog box during source configuration.
