Configuring Data Publishing

Once you have configured the extender and templates are available, you can associate the Smart Forms Extender with a connector. This enables the selected connector to work with values published by the extender.

The following section provides an example with QuickConnect.

There are two ways to configure Quick Connect for Data Publishing:

  • Using batching.
  • Using single documents.

Batching

Batching must be enabled in the Smart Forms Extender.

  1. Go to the Connectors tab and select QuickConnect.
  2. Create a new File Name or Index file.
  3. Set the field type to Batch-based index value.
  4. Set the Published Key to the name of the field you wish to use.

For File name fields, make sure that you leave the Use Document Service’s File Name check box blank (at the bottom of the File name tab).

Single documents

The Smart Forms Extender is available with templates.

  1. Configure the File name or index Files you wish to use. Do it in the relevant tabs of the Quick Connect connector (as above), but this time use Alpha Numeric field types.
  2. Launch the Data Publishing Mapping tool from Advanced > Tools > Data Publishing Mapper.
  3. Under Published Key, select the Smart Forms Extender field you wish to use.
  4. Under Connector Key select connector field you wish to map the value to.
  5. Set the field type to string and the format to None.
  6. Click Save.
