About the list field format in CSV file

The Control Compliance Suite accepts data from the CSV file for data collection only if the data is specified in a specific format.

See Creating a CSV file .

If you want to define a string type data, which is an array in the CSV file, then you must ensure that the data is represented in a specific list field format. Control Compliance Suite does not report on string type array data, which is not specified as per the list field format in the CSV file.

Control Compliance Suite supports the following list field formats in a CSV file:

Multi line text enclosed in double quotes
The format, @:<total number of items in the list>:<char count>:<char text>

For example,@:3:10:TestDomain:7:Domain1:9:ESMDomain

The list field details of the format in the example are as follows:

The number, 3 represents the total number of items in the list.

The items in the list are, TestDomain, Domain1, and ESMDomain.
The number, 10 is the character count of the list item, TestDomain. Similarly, the number, 7 is the character count of the list item, Domain1.
The character text is the name of the list item such as TestDomain, Domain1, and ESMDomain.
