## Enum FieldImportStrategy

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<FieldImportStrategy>
  - - com.smartgwt.client.types.FieldImportStrategy

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<FieldImportStrategy>

      public enum FieldImportStrategy
      extends java.lang.Enum<FieldImportStrategy>
      implements ValueEnum

  Options for how values in the import dataset (for example, the CSV file) are transformed during import if the field is a `foreignKey` mapped to a `displayField`

- - ### Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `AUTO` The import process will attempt to discover the best setting to use, based on the values in the first record, and use that setting for every remaining record in the import dataset
    `DISPLAY` The import process expects values in the import dataset to be display values, and it will transform them to the corresponding underlying keys
    `KEY` The import process expects values in the import dataset to be the real underlying key values, and performs no transformation

  - ### Method Summary

    `java.lang.String` | `getValue()`
    `static FieldImportStrategy` | `valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static FieldImportStrategy[]` | `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

- - ### Enum Constant Detail

    - #### KEY

          public static final FieldImportStrategy KEY

      The import process expects values in the import dataset to be the real underlying key values, and performs no transformation

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "key".

    - #### DISPLAY

          public static final FieldImportStrategy DISPLAY

      The import process expects values in the import dataset to be display values, and it will transform them to the corresponding underlying keys

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "display".

    - #### AUTO

          public static final FieldImportStrategy AUTO

      The import process will attempt to discover the best setting to use, based on the values in the first record, and use that setting for every remaining record in the import dataset

      If this enumerated value is used in a `Component XML` file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "auto".

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static FieldImportStrategy[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (FieldImportStrategy c : FieldImportStrategy.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static FieldImportStrategy valueOf(java.lang.String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getValue

          public java.lang.String getValue()

      Specified by:
        `getValue` in interface `ValueEnum`
