Batch import of files into the Documents Management System

Project description

This package can read OS directories to find files to import. A metadata file can be associated to each file.

It creates for each file a dms item containing the file as a dmsmainfile.

Introduction

This package provides a configuration view, where you can define:

  • a path to a directory to process, called the root directory

  • a path to a directory, where to move processed files

  • a table where filename prefixes can be associated to portal types

The root directory can contain a directory structure that will be followed to place in imported dms content. This directory structure must already exist in Plone.

Each file can be joined to a metadata file in json format (A directory like containing attributes).

Example files structure:

  • “folder 1” / “file1.pdf”

  • “folder 1” / “file1.pdf.metadata”

  • “folder 1” / “folder2” / “file2.pdf”
