Transfer types are pre-defined sets of sheets that will be exported via Transfer Jobs in a transfer run. The setup of transfer types allows the definition of multiple sets of sheets for different purposes, like codelists, generic sheets, or catalog data sheets. For the export job, you must assign only the pre-defined transfer type instead of specifying the sheets manually. Transfer types are project dependent and are maintained on the Transfer Types screen.
Even if the transfer type includes CODE_LIST sheets and other sheets, the software generates two transfer files, one for CODE_LIST sheets and the other for the remaining sheets, because Smart 3D requires that codelists be loaded separately from the other sheets.
If the Sheets fixed check box is selected, the set of sheets copied from the transfer type is protected against changes on Integration > Smart 3D > Smart 3D Transfer Jobs > Transfer Jobs.
Transfer types delivered with the software are marked with the Standard indicator and cannot be changed. The available standard transfer types are listed below.

Finally, click the Fill in button to close the LOV window and to add all selected sheets to the transfer type.
