Output Filters

Output Filters provide an option to post-process the FormTrap output (for example adding detailed instructions to a work order) or adding documents such as product data sheets to the FormTrap document. 



 


Click the Add button and available pre-built output filters will be displayed in the pop up window or select External Process... to add a new filter.

This options is available only for Enterprise (Windows Network) connection. World (Internet) connection restricted to use only the filters that are registered by FTSpooler Server Console.

In the Process Filter screen, executable Name refers to the full path and program required. Enter the path manually or click the Browse button.

Each filter requires at least two parameters: (%1) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the output data file; (%2) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the filtered file; and (%3) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the Associated File that is linked to the FormTrap output. These parameters must appear in the Command Line box. Any parameters specific to the filter process follow the above.

  • No further processing halts processing after the filter has run.
  • No console window applies to console programs only and prevents appearance of the console window. Note that for non-console applications this option will result in failure of execution of the filter.
  • Error if output file is empty to enforce filtering. With this option checked, empty output from the filter process will record a failure of the processing of the job, with a record generated in the failed jobs archive. Without this option checked the empty output from filter process will be ignored and the input data will be used in further processing.


Click the Add button and a list of available output filters is displayed in the pop up window.

Only registered filters can be used in World (Internet) connection.

Order of execution of the filters can be changed using up and down arrow buttons.

When FTSpooler runs a job for this queue, a new icon will appear in the status bar to indicate the filter process.
