Pick list example files
Simple example
Each pick list is identified in the text file by a header row, which contains the pick list name in square brackets. Each item in the pick list is separated from the next by a new line:
[Vehicle Type]
Airplane
Bus
Car
Container ship
Ferry
Hovercraft
Minibus
MotorcycleIn the simple example above, a pick list called Vehicle Type will be imported. The list ends when another header row is found, or at the end of the text file.
Simple example with description
If the pick list has a description, it follows the name as a tab-separated value in the same row:
[Vehicle Type] Basic category of vehicle
Airplane
Bus
Car
Container ship
Ferry
Hovercraft
Minibus
MotorcycleNote: If the pick list has no description, then the date it was imported will be used as the description.

[Vehicle Style] Current vehicle type [Vehicle Type]
Business jet Seats a maximum of 9 people Airplane
Single-engine piston Small one or two person carriers Airplane
Amphibian Supports both aquatic and land based landing Airplane
Commercial Standard passenger plane Airplane
