Purpose

03-02 C-370 BURND Use Service File rules to define a package of rules for importing the contents of character-based files into your Process Commander system. This facility can import a wide variety of record-oriented files to create or update objects in your system, including text files, Comma-Separated-Value files, and completed PDF forms.

Process Commander cannot directly process or parse binary files, such as TIFF files created by incoming faxes. Typically, these are best handled as email attachments. CLINIC 9/17/07
