Import Multi fields

Import Agent Laserfiche
Updated June 7, 2023
asked on November 16, 2017

Hi,

 

We use Import Agent and LST files to import images into our LF repository.  How do we manage importing data into a field which is an "allow multiple entries"?  What would our LST file need to look like?

 

Thanks,

Anthony

You need to use the XML list file format to import multivalue fields, using the "position" attribute in the field_value node to set the positions. The LST format is the legacy method and does not support multivalue fields. Here is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <LF:importengine xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                   xsi:schemaLocation="http://laserfiche.com/namespaces/importengine ImportEngine.xsd"
                   xmlns:LF="http://laserfiche.com/namespaces/importengine" version="1.0">
    
    <LF:toc on_document_conflict="unique" on_folder_conflict="unique">
      <LF:document name="Sample document" template="Sample template">
        <LF:metadata>
          <LF:field_values>
            <LF:field_value name="Field1" position="0">value 0</LF:field_value>
            <LF:field_value name="Field1" position="1">value 1</LF:field_value>
          </LF:field_values>
        </LF:metadata>
      </LF:document>
    </LF:toc>
</LF:importengine>

How does this work with multi field groups?

The "rownumber" attribute can be used to set the multivalue row number:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <LF:importengine xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                   xsi:schemaLocation="http://laserfiche.com/namespaces/importengine ImportEngine.xsd"
                   xmlns:LF="http://laserfiche.com/namespaces/importengine" version="1.0">
    
    <LF:toc on_document_conflict="unique" on_folder_conflict="unique">
      <LF:document name="Sample document" template="Sample template">
        <LF:metadata>
          <LF:field_values>
            <LF:field_value name="Field1" position="0" rownumber="1">value 0</LF:field_value>
            <LF:field_value name="Field1" position="1" rownumber="2">value 1</LF:field_value>
          </LF:field_values>
        </LF:metadata>
      </LF:document>
    </LF:toc>
</LF:importengine>

For more information, see ImportEngine.xsd in the SDK installation.
