Configure Unit Library dialog box

Use this dialog to configure a unit library. Unit libraries are JavaScript modules that CpMill calls at certain known times while processing a document (for example, begin document, page start, and page end). The modules can modify the contents of the document, extract information from the document, write the document, or parts of it, to a new location, or perform many other operations.

For more information, see Business rules and Managing resources.

You can access this dialog when configuring a business rule to modify document contents or when using the Resource Manager.

Name

Description

Displays text describing the unit library configuration.

Comments

Document Properties Needed

Specifies the document properties needed by the unit library. These properties will be written to a file called <filename>.properties when Output Manager calls the document modification software. This file is then opened and read in by the unit library.

Filters Needed

Specifies the filters needed for the unit library. The filters indicate document types that the unit library needs to be aware of in order to fulfill its intent. This includes all expected input, output, and interim document types. These filters will be written to a temporary location which will be sent to the document modification software.

Import Resource Data

Browse button — Allows for importing resource data. Imported files must contain text data.
