  "client_ae_title": "SOMETHING",

  "base_folder": "dumpdir",
  "transfer_method": "move",  // or "get"
  "folder_template": "${PatientID}/${StudyDate}/${StudyDescription}/${Modality}/${FolderUID}_${SeriesDescription}",
  "study_columns": [
    {"name": "Index"},
    {"name": "PatientID"},
    {"name": "StudyDate"},
    {"name": "StudyDescription", "justify": "left"}
  ],

    {"name": "Modality"},
    {"name": "SeriesNumber"},
    {"name": "SeriesDescription", "justify": "left"}
