Hotfolder setup.


The hotfolder setting view

Each hotfolder item has a set of properties;

Folder The folder that should be scanned. This is a folder where files possible may end up in the workflow. If Cargo dettects a file in this folder the Cargo system is updating the location for this file.
Ignore file suffix In some workflows the files may be externally converted from one file format to another and therefor most likely will change their file suffix. If this option to ignore the file suffix is selected the detected file will only check the fiel stem for detection. If a file is found with that file stem the location and file name is changed in the Cargo system.
Enable page separation check If a PDF file containing many pages is separated externally into single page files this option should be selected to be able to detect all these single file pages. The separator is the separator character that is used. If for example the file adFile.pdf is separated into three pages and the pages are named adFile-1.pdf, adFile-2.pdf and adFile-3.pdf, the separator text should be a single dash character (-). h week. If a user send a report for a week where a report already has been saved, this new report will replace the old one.
Action set If a special action should be performed when files are detected in this folder, you select the action set in the popup.
