Standard Import

 

The document import specification is a file format, in XML, which includes the necessary data needed to create a document in Sage Paperless Construction. Manual import tools, folder watch utilities and services, are created to process the files and create the document records and to provide error feedback. The folder watch utilities associated with the standard import has the ability to "watch" a network folder or FTP site and transfer any files that are saved to that folder to a user-specified queue.

Administrators can set up as many folder watch jobs as necessary to import documents from any number of network or FTP resource folders.

 

Use this standard import for documents only. For invoices, use the CSV Importer.
