Importing Transcripts into system through a sweep account

[Mark_DeMateo]

I am beginning to import thousands of transcripts into Perceptive. The transcripts are named by their student id#. Is there a way to have this name be picked up and inserted into the doc properties to help with linking? Otherwise, this adds a step and will slow down the process quite a bit.

Yes.  Your capture profile contains an application plan on the "Profile" tab.  Inside the application plan, the Elements tab can be used to parse the filename into one or more Dictionary fields, and those Dictionary fields can be placed in one or more properties in the Map tab.

Do you have an example of the entire path + filename of an import file?

If you are using iScript check out the SElib.directory() object references. What i am doing with that is pulling the full file path then doing a substr() on it and removing the length of the root path leaving just the file name and extension. Like Ted said. If you have a path and sample file name I'm sure what i have could be adapted fairly easily. Then it is just dump in invoices in a folder and run that iScript on a schedule. Depending on what else you may want to do to them more could be added.

I was able to import a transcript with the ID# coming in. I am working on a solution with one of staff people today. Will keep you updated if it gets automated. Thanks for the input.

Good Morning Mark,

I know this is an old post,  but we are starting a similar project to bring our 'Official' transcript into Perceptive Content as an official point of reference.  You mentioned you are a Colleague school,  could you tell me how you produced your transcripts, was it with TRAN, did  you use a wrapper routine to get the student's ID on each transcript?  Also did you use Import Agent to bring the transcripts into Perceptive?

Any and all assistance will be much appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Marion.
