Load a Data Capture file index (modified in an update) - HxGN SDx - HxGN SDx - Reference - Hexagon

The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 43. For the latest information, see Load a file index.

The Load Data Capture File Index command allows you to load file index information into the application. The Excel file used to add the file index items is based on a default template called FileIndexList. The SPFNFileIndexTemplateFile Excel spreadsheet is attached to this default template and contains the defined names for the file index information.

If you have added additional parameters in the Document Naming System module, then you need to manually add them to the Excel file.

This functionality allows bulk loading of the file index items into the application.

1. Click Administration > Load Data Capture File Index to open the Excel Import Wizard.

2. Click to find the file to load.

3. Click Finish to load the file index items.

   

   • If a file is present in the File Location mentioned in the file index, only then the corresponding document is created, and the file is attached to the document.

   • If a document is created for a file, the Is Document created property of the file is set to True.

   • The file properties mentioned in the Data Capture file index are mapped as the properties of the file loaded into the HxGN SDx Desktop Client.
