2. Set View ID

Notes

1. Use separate views for push and pull

   • If you check the option "Use different View for Import", you can define a separate View ID and Password for importing from Gridly to Unity."

2. Smart strings

   • You can set the string type you would like to send or receive using the plugin. In the Unity localization package, you can set strings as smart strings. Using the import/export type selection, you can define whether you want to send/receive only smart/non-smart or all types of strings.

3. Keep your View in synch with your Unity records

   • If desired, you can use the "Delete removed records from Gridly" setting. This results in strings being removed from Gridly if they have been removed from Unity.
