Indexing Profiles
To extract index data from various formats and sources an indexing profile has to be created. The exact configuration differs depending on what kind of document the data is extracted from.
Configuring an Indexing Profile
-
Right-click on Indexing Profiles and select New File Profile.
-
Provide an intuitive name. Click the Data extractor browse button and choose the extractor type based on the format of the source the data should be extracted from. For example, choose an XML data extractor if the data should be extracted from XML files.
-
The Data Extractor dialog will open, click 'Sample' and browse to a sample document of the kind you want to process. For extracting data such as barcodes or fields in PDF documents the data to be extracted can be defined by drawing a box around it. For other types of data a script is needed.
-
Map the category index data fields to an assignment so the values are extracted into the correct field column.
