The Filter section of the connection file contains the information used to import each reference and get the reference data into the correct EndNote fields.
For most connection files, the filter is set up to interpret references in the MARC format. When you create a new connection file, the Filter section will be set up to interpret references in a standard MARC21 format.
This part of the connection file is identical to the regular Import Filter window. For more information about editing a filter, consult The Filter Manager and Working with Filter Templates.
If the retrieved references are not importing the way you would like, you should compare the filter settings of the connection file to the original text that EndNote receives from the online database. To do so, select Show Connection Status from the Window menu when retrieving references. Set the view in the Status window to show Record Data and compare the record data to what is in the filter. This record data is also stored in the log file, Connection.log. By default, the Connection.log file is stored in the folder:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application
Windows Vista : C:\Users\User Name\
Windows 7 : C:\Users\User Name\
Windows 8 : C:\Users\User Name\
[Your Folder]:Library Application Support:EndNote
This file is a text file and may be opened in any word processor to view it.
To change the location of the Connect ion .log file, see URLs and Links Preferences.
