Additional

Ignore PlayoutONE Meta Data	When checked, if PlayoutONE Meta Data is detected then it will be ignored. PlayoutONE Meta Data can be found on files that are imported from other PlayoutONE systems.
Re-Import Failed Files	When checked, if a file importing fails to import, it will be retried up to three times further. The interval between these retries can be set on the Import Details page.
AutoDJ	When checked the AutoDJ property will be set to true.
Sequential UID	When checked, PlayoutONE will look for the next available UID starting at 0. When unchecked, the next available UID will be found by starting at the largest UID in the database. For example, if in the library we have UIDs 2,3,5 then with this option checked the next available UID would be 1. If the option was unchecked the next available UID would be 6.
WebVT® Import	Only checked when the Import Profile is being used as a WebVT® ingest.
Always Import Identical Audio	When checked, Auto Importer will always import audio into the database regardless of whether the file already exists in the database. When unchecked, Auto Importer will check to see if the files MD5 hash already exists within the database. If a matching MD5 hash is found then the file will not be imported.
Add UID Prefix	When checked a prefix will be added to the UID when imported. For Example, typing COM in the prefix box and importing a file named 123.wav using the 'Specific UID' import method would import the file into PlayoutONE as UID COM123.
Copy To Training DB	When checked, any music logs importing into PlayoutONE will also be copied to the selected training database. Please note, only Music Logs can be copied to the training database. Traffic logs will not be copied.
Import Other Logs	When checked, you can select a secondary log to be imported once a log has been imported through this profile. For example, we may choose to select our Traffic Log profile for secondary log import so that if we have to reimport our Music Log, the traffic log also get's re-imported.
Log Delimiter	Changes the log delimiter from the default 'Tab' format to a custom format.
Only Import Into UID	Enabled when used with 'Import Specific UID' method. If checked, any item importing through this importer profile will be imported into the UID specified.
