Creating Container Documents

To create container documents in enaio® client, follow these steps

1. Open a folder or a register.

   If you have not decided yet which folder or register to place the document in, open the Filing tray. You can then move the document to a folder or register at a later time.

2. In the Start ribbon tab or Folder ribbon tab, click the arrow next to the Object button or select New from the context menu.

   The menu containing the register and document types valid for the selected location will open.

   Alternatively, you can drag the document type icon from the object search into the open folder or register window.

3. Select a container document type from the list.

   The register or document type you selected last will appear in bold in the list.

   The index data form will open.

6. Open the context menu of the empty container and click the Container properties dialog icon there.

   The Properties window will open.

   You can configure the following properties:

With subdirectories Enable this option to import the directory content as well as all files from subdirectories.
   Save path	Full paths In case files of subdirectories were transferred, full paths can be stored. Relative paths If files have been transferred from a subdirectory, paths can be saved relative to the added directory.

Multiple items are separated by commas, for example *.html, *.gif, *.jpg or *.css. All files that match these patterns will be added and aligned. Blacklist You can list the data types to not be managed in the container. All files that do not match any of the schemas will be added and synchronized.
