When configuring an XML Index DIP process, it is important to take the Default File Format of the Document Types associated with the process into account.
Multiple file formats can be processed via XML Index DIP into the same Document Type, but including a Document Type configured to use Image File Format as its Default File Format in an XML Index DIP process will cause the process to behave slightly differently than when other Default File Formats are used.
XML Index DIP processes attempt to open image files to determine the number of pages (i.e. individual images) included in each file. If non-image files are imported via XML Index DIP into a Document Type configured to contain image documents by default, errors may be displayed in the Verification Report or the documents may not be able to be displayed in the Client.
It is considered a best practice to include the >>File Type default Keyword Type in the XML Import Index File if you are importing files of a different file format than the Document Type's Default File Format.
You should thoroughly test your XML Index DIP process configurations, including examining your Document Type and file format settings, and occasionally examine the documents imported via XML Index DIP to ensure that all documents are being imported properly.
