			=== Which Export Definition is right for me? ===

			When choosing an Export Definition, you should be asking yourself "Do I want to export files, data, or both?". What '''content''' you want to export will inform which destination (or destinations) you export to. Your answer to this question will impact which Export Definition you choose and how you configure it to export document '''Batch Folder''' content.

			{\|cellpadding=10 cellpadding=5
			\|valign=top style="width:10%"\|
			Data Only
			\|
			If you're purely exporting document data content (values collected from the '''Extract''' activity) and nothing else, you're likely looking to export data to a database.
			* Use Data Export to do this.
			\|-
			\|valign=top\|
			Files Only
			\|
			If you're looking to export files, such as PDFs, TIFs, and text files, you have more options depending on the storage destination you want the files to wind up in.

			Use any of the following Export Definitions, depending on where you want to export.
			* CMIS Export
			* File Export
			* FTP Export
			* SFTP Export
			* Mail Export (very uncommon)

			All of these Export Definitions have a configurable Export Format property, which will allow you to build an export file of a given format out of '''Batch Folder''' content.
			:*<li class="fyi-bullet">For example, the PDF Format can be configured to build a PDF file from the '''Batch Folder's''' image content (using the images of its child '''Batch Pages''') or its file content (its attached PDF) and the full text data content obtained from OCR.
			\|-
			\|valign=top\|
			Both Data and Files
			\|
			When exporting document content, there are a variety of ways to export both data and files.

			# Commonly, if you want to export ''both'' data and files, you will simply add multiple Export Definitions.
			#* A Data Export to export data to a database and one of the other Export Types to export files to a storage repository of your choice.
			# You can also export data as a file itself, such as an XML, JSON, or text data file.
			#* These are Export Format options available when configuring CMIS Export, File Export, FTP Export, or SFTP Export.
			#* We will detail all Export Formats [[#Export Formats\|below]].
			# Depending on the CMIS Repository you're exporting to, you can use ''''CMIS Export to export ''both'' files and data using CMIS Export only.
			#* This will be highly dependent on the capabilities of the storage platform (and the CMIS Binding used to connect to it).
