Regarding Attributes

This section describes the attributes configurable in the services of FUJIFILM IWpro (the Workspace, Rule Settings, and File Management services) and the method for linking them.

Purpose of Linking Attributes

FUJIFILM IWpro can assign attributes such as the transaction name and transaction date to documents, folders, and drawers as metadata.

By matching attribute names for the Workspace (attributes), Rule Settings (attributes), and File Management (custom attributes) services, the assigned attributes can be used automatically linked with other services. Examples of linking attributes are indicated below.

  • Extracting information such as the transaction name and transaction date from documents imported with a rule of the Import Document service, and adding that information to documents for output to the workspace
  • Editing the attributes of documents imported with the Workspace service, and adding additional attribute information such as the status to register the documents to File Management
  • Storing and managing documents in File Management based on the attributes of documents registered from the Workspace service

  • Documents can only be registered with the attributes carried over while registering documents from the Workspace service to the File Management service when sending the documents from a tray with a rule set.

Cautions when Linking Document Attributes across Different Services

The attributes to share across the Workspace, Rule Settings, and File Management services must have the same name. An error such as the following may occur otherwise.

  • If an attribute set in a rule is not set in the Workspace service
    If an attribute specified as the attribute name to enter from a workspace in [Input Settings from Workspace] for a rule set in the tray of a workspace does not exist as a workspace attribute, the rule will not be executed when the document is sent to the tray and the document will remain in the tray.
  • If an attribute set in a rule is not set in the File Management service
    If an attribute specified as the attribute name to enter from a workspace in [Input Settings from Workspace] for a rule does not exist as a custom attribute for the folder of the File Management service set as the output destination, execution of the rule will cause an error.

To update the name of an attribute that is used with multiple services, make sure to update the name in all the services.

Maximum Ranges for Attribute Names and Attribute Values

Maximum Number of Attributes

  • Workspace attributes: 200
  • Customization of File Management Documents
    Custom attributes assignable to an office: 1,000
    Custom attributes assignable to a cabinet: 100

Attribute values not configured in File Management are not carried over, even if they are configured in a workspace.

Length of Attribute Names

  • Workspace attributes: 1 to 255 characters
  • Custom document attributes in File Management: 1 to 384 bytes (converted to UTF-8)

User/group type Registered user/group

  • The following date/time values can be specified as custom attributes for documents in File Management.
    • When using the UTC format:
      • yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.SSSZ
      • yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ssZ
    • When using the local date/time format:
      • yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
      • yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss
      • yyyy-MM-dd
      • yyyy/MM/dd
    If milliseconds are not specified when using the UTC format, they are added during registration.
    Example:
    "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ssZ" → "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss.000Z"
    When using the local date/time format and the destination attribute is the date/time type, the attribute is converted to the UTC type using the time zone setting configured in the rule.
    Example:
    "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss" → "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss.000Z"
    "yyyy-MM-dd" → "yyyy-MM-ddThh:00:00.000Z"
