Editing Container Documents

enaio® client 11.10

To edit the content or properties of a container document, click the Edit content icon in the context menu of the selected container. Alternatively, you can double-click the container document.

As with W-Documents, the object type options in the object search can be used to specify whether container documents should be opened in read-only format.

If you edit a container document, the action dialog is displayed. This dialog is also displayed when you open a container document.

You can select these actions when opening or editing a container document:

Open and manage container

The container will open. You can change properties and add and delete files (see Edit container contents).
Extract container to working directory

The content of the container is extracted to the directory entered in the properties dialog (see Customize container properties).
Extract container to directory

The container content is extracted to a directory which you have chosen in a file selection dialog.
Extract container to working directory and open control file

If a control file has been specified, this option extracts the content and transfers the control file to the appropriate application (see Customize container properties).
Match container to working directory and compress

If the directory entered in the properties dialog contains files that are newer than the ones in the container, the newer files will be imported (see Customize container properties).

After opening a container, you will find the Container ribbon tab and its various functions for container creation and management in the header area of enaio® client.

The following editing and management functions are available:

File

	View If you would like to display a selected file, open the following program: The file can be displayed using the program associated with the operating system, an ASCII viewer, or any program of your choice. The file to be displayed will be extracted to the user-specific temporary directory and open. Changes cannot be applied.
	Import The file selection dialog will open. Choose the directory whose content will be imported into the container. If you configured a whitelist/blacklist, only matching documents will be added; if you selected the With subdirectories option, the matching documents of subdirectories will also be added.
	Export You can extract files from the container. However, if you modify the extracted files, these changes will not be applied. You can specify a directory and choose the following options: Files Specify whether to extract the previously selected or all files. Overwrite files If there are already files with the same identifier in the chosen directory, they will be overwritten, even if they are read-only. Use path information If paths for files have been saved, these paths will be used during extraction.
	Delete Selected files will be removed from the container. The files cannot be restored once they have been deleted.

After opening a container document, you can open the Container properties dialog via the context menu of the container document to configure paths, working directories, the control file, and more.

You can configure the following properties in the container properties dialog:

Select the following properties:

Property	Comment
General	Overwrite existing files in working directory To open the document, the files will be extracted into a working directory. If the working directory already exists, available files having the same name will be replaced without confirmation as long as this option is enabled. 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.
Working directory	automatically in temporary area The directory for container files will be created in the user-specific temporary directory ...\Local Settings\Temp\OSTEMP. relative Enter the name of the working directory. This directory for container files will also be created in the temporary area ...\Local Settings\Temp\OSTEMP. absolute Enter the location where the working directory for container files will be created.
Container with control file	Application associated with the file extension of the control file If you select a container file as control file, it will be transferred to the application which the operating system associates with the file extension. Application A file selection dialog allows you to specify the application with which the control file will be opened. automatically synchronize with the working directory before closing the container Close the container and all documents that have been changed will be updated automatically.
Whitelist/Blacklist	Whitelist You can list all files to be managed in the container. In the names, use the placeholder '' for any type and number of characters. 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.

After editing, the directory contents including all changes and newly added documents can be retransferred into the archive. If you unpacked data and the container document is checked out, you will have to check it back in (see Checking In Documents). Files may be synchronized, depending on the container's properties (see Container properties).

Zip archives have a maximum size of 2 GB. If this size is exceeded, file comparison and file addition will fail and create an error message.
