3.1.6. Export Settings
To configure saving of data obtained during document processing, you need to configure export for each
Document Definition. There are four export types: to a file of the specified format, to an ODBC-
compatible database, to a MS Sharepoint library, and custom export (using a script). Export is configured
in the Export Settings dialog box (Document Definition > Export Settings). To add a new export
destination, click Add…. To edit an existing export destination, click Edit…
Aside from settings in the Document Definition, export can be configured at batch and project levels.
Export configured at batch level is used for default batches. These settings will be used by default, when
an Operator starts the export by clicking File>Export To.
New export destinations are added using the Export Destination Wizard. First, you will have to specify the
general settings (the type and acception requirements), and then, the settings of the selected type.
You can specify several export destinations for one document definition. An export destination may be or
not be critical. If an error occurs when exporting to a critical destination, the process terminates. If an error
occurs when exporting to a non-critical destination, the process continues, and the document will be
exported. It is thus recommended to have at least one critical export destination, or export errors will
remain unnoticed. You can make an export destination critical in the Export Settings window.
Page images can also be exported – together with data or as a separate export procedure. You can specify
the sensitive information to be redacted for each export destination. To export images together with data,
select Export to image files in the Type dropdown box on the first page of the Export Destination Wizard
dialog box.
Note. If you are using a distributed version, you must specify file paths in UNC format
(\\server_name\share_name[\path]) in the uploaded project for the export to complete correctly. If
relative paths are specified, the export results will only be available using the application interface
(API). If absolute paths are specified in the <disk>:\[path] format, the export will terminate with an
error.
If you have specified relative export paths, you can specify the root path in UNC format when
uploading the project to the server. In this case, the relative paths will be formed basing on it.
You can configure the destination in such a way, that only documents without errors, documents with
errors, or all documents will be exported. Use the Documents without errors and Documents with
errors in the Export Settings.
Export can be carried out automatically or at an Operators command. If you are using a distributed
version, you need to create an export confirmation queue in the Project Settings to allow the Operator to
start the export. If you are using a standalone version, select Enable auto export in the Export Settings
window.
3.1.6.1. Exporting to a file
If you want to configure exporting to a file, select Export to data files in the Type field. Specify the
general export settings and click Next.
Enter the folder path for storing exported documents in the Path field or click Browse… to use the folder
tree view.
You can export the documents of one batch to one file, or each document to a separate file (select Create
separate file for each document). You can also choose to create a separate folder for each batch (select
Create separate folder for each batch).
