# Configuring ABBYY FlexiCapture project

> Set up an ABBYY FlexiCapture project for UiPath export: open or create it in Project Setup Station and upload it to the Application Server.

In FC, documents are processed within projects. FC will identify the type of each document and apply the appropriate Document Definition that has been prepared specifically for that type. Each Document Definition includes one or more export profiles to be used for exporting document images and data.

Before you start configuring your project, please make sure that you have the following software installed:

* ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Project Setup Station (required if you are using ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed Edition or ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud).

If you already have an FC project for which you need to set up data export to UiPath, open that project. Otherwise, you will need to create a project. Launch the Project Setup Station and in the **Open Project** dialog box click:

* **Create New\...** to create a new project.
* **Browse...** to open an existing project stored on your local drive.
* **Browse from Server...** to a open a project that you earlier uploaded to the FC Application Server.

Next, if you have opened your project locally, you need to upload it to the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application Server:

1. Click **File → Upload Project to Server...**.
2. In the **Upload Project to Application Server** dialog box, specify the address of the server, the protocol to be used, and your credentials.
3. If you are using ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud, complete the **URL** field, specifying one of the following three FlexiCapture Cloud instances (you should specify the instance that your company is registered in):
   * [https://europe.flexicapture.com](https://europe.flexicapture.com)
   * [https://australia.flexicapture.com](https://australia.flexicapture.com)
   * [https://usa.flexicapture.com](https://usa.flexicapture.com)

In the **Tenant name** field specify the name of your company, select the **Use server authentication** option, and enter your credentials.

4. Click **Test Connection** to make sure that you have entered the correct data.
5. Click **OK** to upload project to Application Server.

<Note>
  When uploading a project to the cloud or when opening a project from the cloud, the following error may occur: "Application server version is not compatible." If you see this error, the version of your Project Setup Station does not match the version of the cloud-based Application Server. To obtain a compatible version of FC, please contact the ABBYY sales office in your region (see [https://www.abbyy.com/contacts](https://www.abbyy.com/contacts)).
</Note>

6. When you see the "Operation completed" message, click **Close**. In the next dialog box, click **Yes** to open the uploaded project from the server.

Verify that the FC Processing Server is running, and that the Processing Stations have been added, set up, and started. To do this, launch the Processing Server Monitor by selecting **Start → All Programs → ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Servers → Processing Server**. Both the server and the stations should have the "Started" status:

For more details about configuring FC Processing Server, see [Set up the Processing Server](/flexi-capture/admin-guide/processing-server-setup).

Now you need to configure your project, i.e. to [create an export profile in your Document Definition](/flexi-capture/connectors/ui-path/up-export-profile) and to [select the appropriate type of workflow](/flexi-capture/connectors/ui-path/up-configuring-fc-workflow).

<Note>
  You can use a predefined project to process invoices. The **InvoiceDemoProject\_Multitask.zip** archive containing project files and sample images can be found in the connector installation folder located in **\Multi-task package\Samples\FlexiCapture Projects**. Unpack the archive, open the project in FC Project Setup Station and upload it to the server by following the instructions above.
