Config system
Crosswalker remembers your saved configurations so you don’t have to reconfigure columns every time you import a similar file. A saved configuration is a snapshot of the decisions you made in the import wizard: which column is what, where notes land, and how they’re named.
Saving a configuration
Section titled “Saving a configuration”Save the current configuration from the config browser (see below) any time during or after mapping a source. Each saved configuration stores:
- Column-to-role mappings
- Output path and naming settings
- A fingerprint of the source data structure, used for matching against future files
Config matching
Section titled “Config matching”When you select a new file, Crosswalker generates a fingerprint and scores it against your saved configurations. If a match is found above the threshold (default: 50%), the wizard suggests applying it.
Matching considers:
- Column name overlap
- Column count similarity
- Data pattern similarity (when pattern detection is enabled)
Config browser
Section titled “Config browser”Open it from the workspace tab’s launchpad (“Manage saved configs”), the settings hub, or the wizard’s suggestion banner. You can:
- Browse all saved configurations, with search and sort
- Expand a card to preview its column mappings, fingerprint, output path, and last-used date
- Duplicate a configuration (a starting point for a close variant)
- Delete outdated configurations
- Export any configuration to a downloadable JSON file, and Import one from a JSON file — the shareable unit for handing a teammate “here’s how to import this framework’s spreadsheet,” or carrying a configuration between vaults
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | Default | Description |
