🔍 Feature Highlight: (beta) Folders in CSVWriter

Dus to several requests from our customers, we included a new feature for the CSVWriter task: add Folder Metadata.

What is it?

This new feature allows you to add Folder metadata while writing a punnet down to a CSV file. Some customers realized that part of the metadata in the source ECM environment wasn’t located on the documents but on the folders the documents are in. This can often happen when your ECM environment uses folders as contracts, clients, or claims folders. The id of the business object the document is supposed to be attached to is only available on its folder.

Now with a single click, you activate this new option and write the folder metadata alongside the document metadata in your CSV files.

How to use it?

Activating the option is just a click in the task configuration, in the Fast2 UI. But if you feel like using it, there are limitations you must know about, first.

Single level of depth: In the Fast2 model, documents avec be linked to folders which also contain other folders or documents, and so on digging very far in a rich object hierarchy. For performances and scalability purposes, this feature will only consider the first level of hierarchy, basically including the metadata of folders directly containing documents.

Single combination per CSV line: the implementation is as follows:

  • If a document belongs to several folders, the CSV file will contain one row per unique document/folder combination.
  • If a document has no folder, it will appear on a single line with blank folder data values.

This behavior is consistent with an SQL OUTER JOIN between documents and folders, as it includes all documents, even those without a matching folder (unlike the INNER JOIN used between punnets and documents).
