Does Rule Match?

Whether a rule is responsible for an incoming file is (among other things) determined by the virtual file type (2) and the file name pattern (3). In general, the rule is only considered for files sent by partners set in (7) and (8).

Configuration

(1) The file name that a file accepted by this rule gets instead of its original name. See also (5). Note: Does not apply to data type Image/Raw.

(2) An incoming file must have this virtual file type for this rule to apply. See section MFT on how it works.

(3) The name of an incoming file must match this pattern for this rule to apply. See section MFT on how it works.

(4) The file is read in with this character encoding. See also section Detection (Rule).

(5) Further dialogue for managing the number range placeholder <n> for this rule. See corresponding section below. See also (1).

(6) Further dialogue for defining characters to be replaced in the input file. See corresponding section below.

(7) If this checkbox is set, this rule applies to all (sending) partners. Otherwise, see (8).

(8) Use the arrows to move marked partners. The rule is visible to the (sending) partners on the right. See also (7).

Number Range

(9) The start value for the placeholder <n> in this rule. Note: See also (1) and (5).
