Setting up a Shared Folder

To set up a shared folder, follow these steps:
  1. Select the Output activity that you have added to the document processing flow.
  2. In the Actions pane, mark the Select additional destination option and select Shared folder.
  3. If necessary, adjust the suggested shared folder name.

Folder Naming Requirements

The folder name:
  • Must be unique across the skill (cannot be the same as the name of another shared folder in the Input activity block)
  • Must begin with a number or a letter
  • Must not contain special characters : * ? " < > / | \ or control characters (such as newline, and tabulation)
  • Must not end with a dot
  • Must not be empty
  • Must not exceed 64 characters
Set up the export of files from the created folder via any SFTP client using the login details provided in the Output Settings: Shared Folder dialog. During document processing, a subfolder is created inside the export folder for each transaction. The name of this subfolder will be made up of the name of the first source file and the transaction identifier. For example, 111_invoiceUS.pdf-30225030-1FDA-4E58-B243-0EB2F16B0C72. The results of processing all transaction documents are stored in this subfolder. By default, the processing results are provided as a JSON file containing a description of the document structure, extracted field values, rule errors, as well as various additional information about the document fields and the document itself. For more information on the JSON schema, see JSON Schema.
