-
Click File > New > Data Capture Items > File Index to open the New File Index dialog box.
-
Type the file name with a file extension in the Name box.
The name of the Data Capture file index should be the file name that the application is searching for in the file system. A file index without a file extension will not match to any file existing in the file system.
-
Type the document name that you want to specify for each file in the Document name box. A document will be created in the database with this name, and the file will be attached to it.
-
Type the location of the file in the File Location box if you want to create the document for the file.
-
Update the client parameters and document parameters information for the file index as necessary.
-
Click Finish to create a new file index.
-
File index item names must be unique.
-
You can create multiple file index items having the same document name.
-
The client and document properties defined in the Data Capture file index take precedence over the client and document properties defined in the document discovery patterns. If a property is missing in the file index but exists in the document discovery pattern, then the property from the file is added to the file.
