l If you want to assign an Informational Tag, do not check the Security tag option in the Laserfiche administration
console.
l If the output repository folder does not have access rights to read and create documents, the task will not be able to
export documents to the selected Laserfiche folder.
l If you intend to use PDI for number type, your decimal separator in both your Regional and Language Options and in
PlanetPress Index (PDI) numbers should be a dot (".").
l The Laserfiche output task will only work if an activated PlanetPress Imaging is found, either locally or on
the network.
LaserFiche Repository Output Task - Configure Templates
A Laserfiche template consists of a collection of template fields. Template information can include words, numbers, dates and
times, Laserfiche variables as well as any available PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools variables. Template information makes
documents easier to find.
Configure Template
l Template: Select from a list of templates imported from Laserfiche.
l Fields: Set to configure the fields on a by-template basis. The available fields depend on the selected template. See
below for available data types for Laserfiche template fields.
l The button on the right side of each field allows to select Laserfiche variables, or to choose “Use PlanetPress
Index file (PDI)”.
l Use PlanetPress Index file (PDI):This optionmeans that the correspondingfield (Document) is
multiple and the field type is: CHAR, Integer, Long Integer or Number on the Laserfiche server. If this
field name is also found in a PlanetPress Suite index file (.pdi), selecting “Use PlanetPress Index file
(PDI)”will get all the values from the PDI to be pushed into Laserfiche as indexes for the published file.
l If “Use PlanetPress Index file (PDI)” is disabled, the corresponding field is not configured to be multiple
on the Laserfiche server. Users should check the multiple option on the Laserfiche server in order to use
the PlanetPress index fields.
l Alternatively, right-clicking inside the field allows to selecta PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools variable. Note:
The most important property of a template field is the type of data that it will contain. For example, if the field
name is of type Date, you can use a Month Calendar to select the date and use only available Laserfiche var-
iables.
Laserfiche available data types:
l Character (Char): This type may contain a string of any type of characters. This is the most flexible type of field.
Use this type when you are not sure if the constraints of the other types will be appropriate.
l Integer: This type may contain a whole number between zero and 64,999.
l Long integer: This type may contain a whole number between zero and 3,999,999,999.
l Number: This type may contain a decimal number that supports up to 13 digits and 5 decimals.
l Date: This type may contain a date.
l Date/Time: This type may contain a date and time.
l Data: This type is unsupported by the Laserfiche repository output task and the Laserfiche client.
Note that Character, List, Integer, Long intger, Number and Date types allow you to use PlanetPress Image archive fields
(PDI).Also, note that all fields are validated by the Laserfiche repository output task.
