Summation

To load images and data into a Summation database, a .DII (Document Image Information) file is used.

Summation recognizes a large number of data fields, mostly containing metadata.

.DII example file

@FULLTEXT DOC

 

;Record 1

@T AA000001

@C FIELDNAME FIELDVALUE

@C DOCTYPE Fax

@C DOCDATE DDMMYYYY

@C PGCOUNT 3

@D @I

AA000001.TIF

;Record 2

@T AA000002

@C DOCTYPE Fax

@C DOCDATE DDMMYYY

@C PGCOUNT 10

@D @I AA000002.TIF

 

A short explanation follows of the fields (tokens) used above:

• @Fulltext

  Tells Summation that there are OCR documents attached to the record.

• ;

  Comment line. Comments can be typed in for reference. They will not be loaded into the database.

• @T
  

  Image Tag. Creates a new database record or overwrites an existing one.

• @C

  Column to Link. @C is used to load data into specified fields in the database.

• @D

  @D designates the location where the image file(s) for a database record is stored.

• @I

  @I refers to the default IMAGES subfolder under the case directory.

• Image Files

  The last line(s) of each DII record is always the image filename(s).
