# Saved Positions

Saved positions is a field where the user can indicate which parts of each string used in the Source Batch will be saved, and how they will be represented in the log. In this field, indicate the positions in the string that need to be saved. Positions can constitute only parts of the entire string. If the field is left empty, the entire (concatenated) string will be saved. The table below shows some examples of saved position combinations.

Saved position values are comma-separated (without spaces), and ranges are indicated using a hyphen.

Identifier string | Positions
--- | ---
String 1: 1234567 | 1-7
String 2: abcdef | 8-13
String 3: GHIJKL | 14-19
String 4: 890 | 20-22
