Use DIDs

A DID is a description of a database. Documents created with KCM use data from a data source. Usually, a data XML is sent to KCM to create documents. In cases where the data needs to be retrieved directly from the database by KCM, you can use DIDs.

The data that is retrieved from the database using DIDs is transformed to document data with a Data Backbone. Data Backbones are used to describe the data in such a way that they can conveniently be used in documents.

A project always has exactly one Data Backbone. That means that all content in this project share the same Data Backbone.

The DID object resides in the predefined project folder DIDs. Wizards exist to easily create a DID. When editing a DID object, the DID help is available.

For more information on DIDs, see the Kofax Communications Manager DID Developer's Guide.
