File formats

Follow the steps to enter the file format and general parameters after configuration management.

Possible file formats are divided into two types of object models:

• Linear object models (LOL)

  Linear object models only allow for the export of data from a cabinet. The data are exported in a simple table view structure. If you export data associated with document types, for example, location data (folder and register data) can also be exported, although only register data from one register of a given register type, even if the document is stored in multiple registers of equal or different types. The data associated with multi-fields cannot be exported.

• Hierarchical object models (HOL)

  Hierarchical object models allow for the export of data of multiple object types from different cabinets. The data in multi-fields are also exported. The HOL format allows for the management of multiple tables in one file or, in XML format, the display of hierarchical structures with nested tags.

The following file formats are available:

File formats	Object model
TEXT/ASCII	LOL
Microsoft Access	LOL / HOL
