Overview

Kofax Export Connector 8.0.0 for IBM FileNet Image Services Administrator's Guide

Menu Item Data Type Support

This export connector supports the use of menu item data types. As a result, you can link

Kofax Capture field values to a menu item document property during export setup. Menu

items and their corresponding descriptions must be predefined in IBM FileNet Image Services

by the system administrator.

During Validation, operators can enter a menu item number or letter (also known as a IBM

FileNet Image Services key), a description, or an ASCII value that represents the key for

properties linked to the menu item field. The export connector automatically identifies

whether the data entered during validation is a key, description, or ASCII value and

compares it to the list of IBM FileNet Image Services menu choices. Note that the validation

operator must know what choices are available, as the Kofax Capture Validation module does

not provide a list of menu choices.

If the menu item field is not required, and the entered value cannot be found in IBM FileNet

Image Services, the exported value will be Null. If the menu item field is required, but the

entered value cannot be found, the batch is routed to the Quality Control module.

Sharing Data Among Export Connectors

The Kofax Capture export connector Information Interchange feature is useful when more

than one export connector has been configured for a particular batch class and document class

combination.

The sharing of information is accomplished when export connectors pass information to other

export connectors. The Kofax Value {Repository Document ID} is used to store and retrieve

the RepositoryDocumentID to be used by the first invoked export connector. Therefore, the

first export connector that runs can set this value, and subsequent export connectors can read

the same value.

When you are passing the RepositoryDocumentID information to a different export

connector, the export connector must exist within the same document class using multiple

export. In addition, the export connector that is passing the RepositoryDocumentID

information must be placed first in the list on the export connectors window. For example:

▪ IBM FileNet Image Services 8.0.0

▪ Kofax Capture Text

Only the first export connector can set the RepositoryDocumentID value. Subsequent export

connectors can only read this value.

Refer to your Kofax Capture Help for more information about configuring the

RepositoryDocumentID.
