Administrator’s Guide infra CONVERT > Configuration and Import

Parameter file "StampTemplates"


The templates for →stamps that are assigned to the characteristic categories are defined in the parameter file StampTemplates.json (see Configuration and Import > Parameter file "SpecialCategories"). More specifically: these definitions are loaded when a new →project is created and saved in the project file. This means that it is only in the project itself possible to later change the stamp templates for a project.

During installation, the parameter file StampTemplates is saved at the following location:

%ProgramData%\ELIAS GmbH\infra-convert\JsonData\StampTemplates.json

If another parameter file is to be loaded when starting the program, this can be specified in the startup parameter file (see Configuration and Import > Startup parameter file > Parameter file for stamp templates).

Tip For more comfortable working, you can use a text editor with extended functions, e.g. syntax and error highlighting, instead of the on-board Windows “editor”. Examples are the free programs Visual Studio Code from Microsoft and Notepad++.
