Export_extras table

The export_extras table contains additional or non-core metadata about a document, for example, custodian information.

The following table describes the fields in the export_extras table.

Field

Type

Size

Mandatory

Description

Document_ID

Text

255

Yes

A unique ID for each document in the case. This links the metadata in the record to the correct document.

Note: When importing, this field is mandatory for any record in the table, but the table does not have to contain a record for each Document_ID.

theCategory

Text

50

Yes

A predefined four-character string that identifies the data type. This string must be one of the following:

TEXT: Text

NUMB: Number

BOOL: Boolean

DATE: Date

PICK: Pick list field

MEMO: Memo-type field

theLabel

Text

255

Yes

The name or label of the field in the case.

When importing, if a field with the same name and data type does not already exist, the application adds that field to the case.

theValue

Text

255

Either theValue or memoValue; must contain data, depending on theCategory value

Use for the value for all extra fields, except MEMO fields. The actual field data is a text string, regardless of whether it is a date, a text field, or a Boolean character.

The following applies to imports:

PICK-type fields: When theCategory=PICK, the import process creates a pick list entry in the target database for each delimited item in theValue category.

MEMO-type fields use the memoValue field (see the memoValue description that follows) instead of the theValue field.

The default date format for exports is dd- mmm-yyyy.

Note: You can specify other date formats for imports.

We recommend that you use YES or NO for Boolean fields.

memoValue

Memo

Maximum number of characters per field: 64,000

 

A longer text block for theCategory = MEMO field.

Note: This field can include Unicode characters.
