How to Skip header during Data input through Dataport

niimodin

Hello Experts,
I periodically import data from a biometric device into my Payroll system through dataport.
Currently I always have to open the csv file and delete the header.
Is it possible to setup the dataport in such a way that it will always skip the file header which is also the first line in the file?
Below is a sample data

Date ID User Name Department Shift Daily Schedule First-In Time Last-Out Time
06-06-2011 1000 Joseph Osei-Owusu Production Morning Shift Morning Schedule 06:00 15:30
07-06-2011 1000 Joseph Osei-Owusu Production Night Shift Night Schedule 22:10 06:11(+1)

You can use many methods, it depends on your case. You can use a counter, increase it in appropriate dataitem and skip if the counter is 1. You can catch a special char and skip etc...
