Changing the Destination Archive
When indexing multiple documents, you may need to change the destination archive for a document.

From the Destination popup, select the destination archive for the document.

Persist Archive Import Data
When indexing multiple documents, it may be beneficial to carry index data from one document to be indexed to the next to reduce repeated data entry. For example, when indexing Human Resources documents for a new hire, carrying the Employee Name, Employee Number, Department, etc. from one document to the next would be helpful. To enable this:
-
Access the User Settings by clicking your avatar in the top, right corner and selecting Settings.
-
Click the Appearance tab.
-
Under Viewer, enable Persist Archive Import Data.
-
Click Save.
-
Refresh your browser window so the changes will take effect.
-
Index the document, Save the document, and move on to the next document. The data from the previous document appears in the index fields. This data can be used as is or modified.
