File Store (Node Type)

STUB	This article is a stub. It contains minimal information on the topic and should be expanded.

hard_drive File Store nodes are a key part of Grooper's "database and file store" architecture. They define a storage location where file content associated with Grooper nodes are saved. This allows processing tasks to create, store and manipulate content related to documents, images, and other "files".

• Not every node in Grooper will have files associated with it, but if it does, those files are stored in the Windows folder location defined by the File Store node.

If you select an object in the Node Tree, then go to the "Advanced" tab, then go to the "Files" tab underneath each file listed is stored in a File Store.

File Stores can be any folder you have writable access to, but it is best practice to use a fully qualified UNC path.

Active File Store

New files, such as scanned or imported images of Batch Pages, are always written to the "Active File Store". This is a property set on the Grooper Root in the Node Tree. It will default to the File Store created when the Grooper Repository was initialized, unless otherwise specified.
