Box Connector settings

Record the system settings that you want to use to configure the Box Connector actions.

Datacap connects to Box by using OAuth, a standard for authenticating and authorizing users. Specifically, the following OAuth parameters are used:

Client ID
Client secret
Redirect URL

Record your values for these parameters when you create a Box app. For information about creating a Box app, see https://app.box.com/developers/services.

Table 1. Export settings
Setting	Description
Batch subfolder creation	Whether to create batch subfolders in the Box target folder. A subfolder has the same name as the batch and contains the exported files for the batch.
Existing file handling	How the export process responds to the following circumstance: an existing version of a file to be exported exists in the Box target folder. Here are the possible responses: The new file version is added. The new file version is added, and the last version is deleted. The export process fails and does not continue.
Existing metadata handling	How the export process handles the existing Box metadata for a file to be exported. This existing metadata is for the existing Box versions of a file in the Box target folder with the same name as the exported file. One set of metadata is associated with all versions of the same Box file. Here are the possibilities: The metadata for the exported Box file includes the newly exported metadata only. The metadata for the exported Box file includes the newly exported metadata and the previous Box metadata for the file before the export. If the same field exists in both sets of metadata, the value from the newly exported metadata is used.
Metadata object scope	Whether the exported metadata for a page includes document and batch data in addition to page data.
Metadata type	Whether the exported metadata includes fields, DCO variables, or both fields and variables.
PDF conversion	Whether documents are to be converted to multipage PDFs as part of the export.
Target Folder	The Box folder (if any) in which the export process places exported files. You can specify the target folder as a path. If the specified target folder does not exist, the export process creates it. By default, the target folder is your root Box folder.

Table 2. Import settings
Setting	Description
Backup folder	The Box folder (if any) to which the import process moves imported Box files. As part of this file relocation, imported Box files are deleted from the source folder. This deletion prevents files from being imported more than once.
Import as document type	The type of document that the import process creates (if any) to hold imported files as child pages.
Import limit	The maximum number of files that the import process imports from Box.
Imported file extensions	A comma-delimited list of file extensions that the import process uses as a criterion for determining which files to import from Box. A file must have one of the specified extensions to be imported.
Source folder	The Box source folder from which the import process imports files.
