Configure Message fields

Message fields are metadata related to a document such as message subject. These values can be mapped to Kofax Capture batch/folder/document fields.

If a message field is mapped to a Kofax Capture field, it will be automatically populated with the proper value during importing to Kofax Capture.

The message fields mapping can be configured in KC Plug-In, for each destination. See Destinations Tasks.

Document metadata are also available in Kofax Capture as custom storage strings (for documents and folders) with the prefix ED_CSS_. Custom storage strings can be read via the Kofax Capture API and could be used for example in an export connector or in custom scripts. Refer to Kofax Import Connector Developers Guide for more information about custom storage strings.
