Mail Import | Provides mail message import capabilites over the IMAP protocol. |
SFTP Import | Provides import connectivity to SSH/SFTP servers. |

The following 10 properties are defined.
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
Processing Options | |
Sparse Import | Type: Boolean, Default: True
If true, documents will be imported in sparse mode. Sparse documents avoid duplicating storage in Grooper when the content can be accessed through a link. Sparse imports serve two general purposes:
|
Skip Count | Type: Int32, Default: 0
Indicates the number of items to skip at the beginning of the sequence. Use this property to restart an import which was previously stopped. |
Max Items | Type: Int32, Default: 0
Indicates the maximum number of items to process. This can be used with Skip Count to perform incremental imports. |
Batch Creation | |
Starting Step | Type: Batch Process Step
The step within a batch process where batches will be started. |
Folder Levels | Type: List of Folder Level Info
Defines the number of folder levels which will be translated into subfolders within the Grooper Batch. |
Maximum Items per Batch | Type: Int32, Default: 2500
The maximum number of items to be imported into a single batch. |
Priority | Type: Int32, Default: 3, Range: 1 - 5
The priority of the batch. The Priority value controls the order in which tasks are processed, with the value 1 representing the highest priority level, and the value 5 representing the lowest priority level. (i.e. Items of priority 1 are processed before items of Priority 2, and so on). The batch must be paused before this property can be edited. |
Batch Name Prefix | Type: String
An optional prefix to be prepended onto each batch name. Example Given the date is 01-02-2019 and the time is 1:39:00 PM, entering "Tommy Oliver's AP batch_:_" will result in the batch being named: "Tommy Oliver's AP batch_:_ 2019-01-02 01:39:00 PM" |
Start Paused | Type: Boolean, Default: True
If true, created batches will be started in a paused state. |
Batch Folder Classification | |
Content Type | Type: Content Type
Optionally assign a content type to created batch folders. |
