Welcome to SimpleExport[edit | edit source]

SimpleExport is a conversion tool designed to take the output from SimpleIndex and other document capture applications and format it for importing into any document management system, for example Computhink Contentverse BIF file or Digitech's PaperVision XML datagroup file.

SimpleExport works by parsing CSV or XML files, mapping the values to fields, adding custom variables, then using XSLT to transform them into any XML or text file format.

SimpleExport will also run from a command line, making it possible to automatically add documents to existing output file after scanning using SimpleIndex’s command line execute option.

Getting Started[edit | edit source]

The idea of SimpleExport is to map the fields from a delimited index file to search fields, where one of the fields in the index file contains the path to the file being imported.

To configure SimpleExport you first set the appropriate project identifiers for output file, then list the field names and types to use for each column in your index file. One of these columns must be labeled “IMAGEPATH” and contains the full or relative path (Image Folder) to the image file. When you run SimpleExport it formats the index data into output file using XSLT template and moves the files to the output folder automatically. XSLT template contains structure of output file and logic for mapping fields, variables etc.. Variables can be added, deleted or edited using "Add", "Delete" buttons and "EDIT" option from variable's value drop down list. Once all fields and options for particular index file or group of index files are set they can be saved as a SimpleExport SEJ job file. SEJ file will store all input, fields, delimiter, variables and options. Values in SEJ can be changed any time within SimpleExport. SEJ can be installed as a SimpleExport service and will be executed every minute.
