Configuring Windows file system source options

The Windows file system source options specify the folder for Publisher to monitor for files to publish, the publishing options, and an optional file containing metadata about those files to publish.

To configure the Windows file system source options:

In BlueCielo Application Manager, expand the name of the publishing job in the configuration tree that you want to configure.
Select the Configuration branch in the configuration tree. The job's configuration pages appear in the right pane.
Click the Source tab. The Source configuration page appears.
From the Type list, select Windows file system. The Windows file system options appear.
Next to Source folder, click Browse and select the folder from which documents will be published. This folder is where files will be copied by the BlueCielo File Publishing Service as described in Understanding the Windows file system link. Additional publishing options appear. Click the expand icon next to an option group name to show the options in that group.
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

Windows file system source options
Option	Description
Document name group
Use source document name	Keeps the original name from the source vault.
Use property value from source document	Applies the value of the selected property as the document name.
Document location group
Use source document path	Reproduces the folder structure of the original location in the destination system.
Publish to single folder	Publishes all source documents to the same folder in the destination system.

To create and specify a metadata properties file:

In any folder (the one that you selected for Source folder, for example) create a new Microsoft Excel 2003 (or higher) file with the columns described in the following table. Type each column name in the first row of the worksheet.

Property file requirements
Column	Name	Description
A	DocumentPath	The column must be named DocumentPath and no other columns should use this name. Subsequent rows should contain the paths to the documents to be published.
B and higher	<PropertyName>	The name of each property to be published to the destination system. Subsequent rows should contain the values for each property.

Tip This file can be generated automatically by some document management systems.

Next to Properties file, click Browse and select the file that you created.
