# Select Batch Types Storage dialog box

> Pick where the Scanning Station stores XML batch type descriptions—locally or on a remote server—in the Select Batch Types Storage dialog box.

In the **Select Batch Types Storage** dialog box, you select a folder for storing the XML files that contain batch type descriptions.

It opens when you send or import batch types. For more information, see [Batch Types dialog box](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/select-batch-type).

An XML file with a batch type description can be stored locally, on the same computer as the Scanning Station, or on a remote server.

To set the storage location, do one of the following:

* Select **Local file**.
* Select **Remote**.

## Store batch types in a local file

For a local file, specify the path in the **Path** field. Click **Browse...** to find the location.

<Note>
  To work with a tenant's project, add the tenant's name to the server's address. The address must look like this: `https://<server_name>#<tenant_name>` (for example, `https://localhost#tenant`).
</Note>

## Distribute batch types to all Scanning Stations

When sending batch types, you can select **Distribute these batch types to all Scanning Stations**:

* **Selected**: all scanning stations bound to the server attempt to load batch types data from the server at startup.
* **Deselected**: the scanning stations do not contact the server to retrieve batch types.
