Network Folders

Umango can monitor or "watch" a folder for new files. Any files that have not previously been processed are selected and processed according to the job settings. A folder source can be a directory on your Umango server or elsewhere on your local network.

Important Note: The Umango service's Log On account must have suitable permissions to access the job's source folder. The default service Log On account (Local System) does not have access to network folders and must be updated before any network watched folders can run.

Settings

Delete Files After Successfully Importing Them - When enabled, files are deleted from the folder after successful import and processing.

Expect an XML Data File with the Same Name as the Importing File - If checked, the connector will look for an accompanying XML file with the same name as the importing file (e.g., Document.pdf and Document.xml).

If an XML file is found, its data will be imported along with the file and also made available through the connector's metadata fields. 

Include Subfolders - Enable this option to monitor not only the specified folder but also all subfolders within it.

Selection Filters

Filter Rules

Regular expressions can be used to identify the files that should be processed. If no filtering rules are added, all files that meet the required file types will be processed. If no file types are added, all files are considered for processing.

Metadata fields

The standard metadata fields available for the Network Folder Connector:

• FilePath: The full path to the source file's original location.
• FolderPath: The full path to the directory of the source file's original location.
• DataFileContent: The data from the XML file alongside the source file. (XML merge methods provide various methods for capturing attribute or element XML data)

For further information on how to reference these metadata fields refer to the section Referencing Metadata.
