Glossary

Content Type: Content Types are a class of node types used used to classify folder Batch Folders. They represent categories of documents (stacks Content Models and collections_bookmark Content Categories) or distinct types of documents (description Document Types). Content Types serve an important role in defining Data Elements and Behaviors that apply to a document.

Export Behavior: An Export Behavior defines the parameters for exporting classified folder Batch Folder content from Grooper to other systems. This includes where they are exported to (what content management system, file system, database etc), what content is exported (attached files, images, and/or data), how it is formatted (PDF, CSV, XML etc), folder pathing, file naming and data mappings (for Data Export and CMIS Export).
