Load files can be used to replace images that currently exist within the active Case File. Document numbers in the load file are compared to the BegDoc# or DocID of files existing within the current Case Directory to determine if a replacement is necessary.
Please keep the following in mind when using load files for image replacement:
•OCR text for the associated image files is not imported during replacement.
•Files listed in the load file that cannot be found are skipped during import.
•Load files should be produced in the same storage format as the images contained within the Case Directory to avoid needing to split or merge images after the import has finished.
•The folder and file structure of the Case Directory is maintained during the import process, so single or multi-page image files will remain in the same format.
•You can decide whether files currently existing within the Case Directory have backup copies made, or are permanently deleted. If copies are made, they will maintain the following naming structure: <OriginalFileName>_V01.<ImageExtension>
•Images may be replaced with a different file type as desired.
Image replacement via load file is performed through the Select Image Replacement Load File File Explorer, followed by the Replace Existing Images window.
