The following criteria must be met in order to make an imported document a rendition of an existing document:
-
You must have the Default Keyword Type >>Rendition or >>Rendition/New Document selected in the Field Order for the DIP format. The value that the >>Rendition or >>Rendition/New Document Default Keyword Type is mapped to in the DIP Import Index file will determine if the document will become a rendition. The value in the Import Index file must be a numeric non-zero integer. A document entry with a blank, alphanumeric, or zero value will not become a rendition.
-
In order for a rendition to be created, all Keyword Values on the imported document must match all Keyword Values on the original document.
-
Additionally, the >>File Type Default Keyword Value must be included in the Field Order and in the DIP Import Index file in order for each different file format to be imported properly.
-
The Document Type being processed in must be configured for multiple renditions.
-
When using renditions with Self-Configuring DIP, the following must also be true:
-
The Import Index File and the files to be processed must be in the same directory. The Import Index File must reflect this.
-
If all of the above criteria are met, and a single matching document is found in the system, the imported document will become a rendition of the existing document.
