Automatic recognition of the file format

When content parts are uploaded during Job creation, automatic file detection can be enabled. When automatic file detection is enabled, an appropriate filter profile will be proposed automatically. The file extensions and corresponding filter profiles must be configured beforehand.

Configuring the automatic file recognition

To be able to use automatic file detection, the file extensions, for instance "xml" or "docx" must be configured, and these file extensions must be assigned to a Filter Profile. Then automatic file detection can be selected to set up the Content part rather than selecting the Filter Profile directly.

Adding an Assignment for Automatic File Detection

  1. Click Administration > Configuration > Filter Profiles .
  2. Select File extension from the drop-down within the Mapping for automatic detection section.
  3. Select Filter profile from the drop-down within the Mapping for automatic detection section.
  4. Click Save

Result: Automatic file detection for the selected file extension has been enabled and will be available for Job Creation.

Note: If the desired file extension is not available, the file extension must be added.

Adding a File Extension

  1. Click Administration > Configuration > Filter Profiles .
  2. Click New file extension in the toolbar. An input screen is opened in the lower area of the page.
  3. Enter a file extension
  4. Optionally a description for the file extension can be entered.
  5. Click Save

Result: The file extension was added.

Deleting an assignment for automatic file detection

  1. Click Administration > Configuration > Filter Profiles.
  2. Click next to a file extension.

Using automated file recognition.

Automatic file detection is available for Job Setup with the Setup Wizard and with the User Job Wizard.

When "Automatic detection" is selected in the "Filter Profile" drop-down, the content part is not uploaded immediately after clicking "Upload". First the user has the option of setting the filter profiles manually for each content part, or of removing content parts for which no filter profile was assigned, before the content parts are imported.

Note: With automatic file detection only zipped files can be uploaded. If different file types are included within a single zipped file, the checkbox "One content part per document" must be enabled.
