Folder settings tab

Destinations

Use this tab to configure a network folder destination. Documents routed to this destination will be saved in the folder specified. You can access this tab when you create or configure a network folder destination.

You can configure a default value and a dynamic override for each option. Default values are used to manage the documents as they are being sent to the destination. You can choose to dynamically override the default values using document properties. To enter an override value, right-click in the desired override text box and select Insert Document Property. A menu containing all of the available properties displays. You can select a property from the list or type the property name. If a property is selected and it contains a value, that value is processed instead of the default value.

For the folder selected, you must configure the EOM Services logon account user name to have Full Control Sharing permissions. Also verify the Administrators group has Full Control Security permissions. Right-click the folder in Windows Explorer and select Sharing and Security to configure these options.

Specifies the subfolder path where documents will be sent. If no subfolder path is entered, documents will be sent to the folder path.

Allow spaces

Specifies how file names that contain spaces will be written, either with the spaces or replacing the spaces with exclamation points (!).

This option is selected by default.

Top

Delete exclamation

Specifies if exclamation points will be deleted from the file name.

Top

Overwrite

Specifies how to handle duplicate file names. Selecting the check box will cause the new file to overwrite the existing file. This choice might be useful if you receive a file with the same name every day and you do not want a large number of files to accumulate on the disk. This choice saves you the work of manually deleting old files.

If you clear the check box the new file will be saved with a new file name according to the options below.
