Understanding output format

Case metadata and history are not checked

The result will be a folder structure with documents and mails into. Although a document has several versions only will be exported the actual version.

Case only metadata is checked

The result will be a folder structure with documents and mails into. Although a document has several versions only will be exported the actual version.

For each folder, document or mail will be created an .okm file. For example for a file named “Administration.html” will be created in the same path a file named “Administration.html.okm”. The .okm files contains into all the metadata information associated to the node in a JSON format.

Example of .okm file:

}

Case only history is checked

The result will be a folder structure with documents and mails. All document versions will be saved.

Example of output for a document with version 1.0 and 1.1:

Administration.html ( size = 0 bytes )
Administration.html#v1.0# ( contents of version 1.0 )
Administration.html#v1.1# ( contents of version 1.1 )

Case metadata and history are checked

The result will be a folder structure with documents and mails. All document versions will be saved.

For each folder, document or mail will be created a .okm file. For example for a file named “Administration.html” will be created in the same path a file named “Administration.html.okm”. The .okm file contains all the metadata information associated to the node in a JSON format.

Example of output for a document with version 1.0 and 1.1:

Administration.html ( size = 0 bytes )
Administration.html.okm ( metadata associated to the document )
Administration.html#v1.0# ( contents of version 1.0 )
Administration.html#v1.0#.okm ( metadata associated to version 1.0 )
Administration.html#v1.1# ( contents of version 1.1 )
Administration.html#v1.1#.okm ( metadata associated to version 1.1 )
