Overview > Set up an export connector for a document type

Set up an export connector for a document type

Set up an export connector for the document types in a process. You can configure multiple export connectors to a document type.

When multiple export connectors are configured for a document type, if the first export connector can set value for ReleaseData.RepositoryDocumentID, the second subsequent connector can use this value to release the document.

You can configure an export connector to run multiple times on the same document type in TotalAgility.

  1. On the Start menu, select All Programs > KofaxTotalAgility > Kofax Export Connector.

    The Export Connector Configuration window appears.

  2. Click Setup.

    The Export Connectors - Setup window appears.
