Report Export Entries

The overview of the ECM Connect Report Export Entries contains all report export entries that have been created and are to be exported. Among other things, it provides information on the processing status in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and in the Shareflex DMS. In addition, the FactBox provides an overview of the error messages of the selected record.

Each report export entry has related Report Export Values and Report Line Export Entries. These can be viewed via the view of a single entry. When viewing a Report Line Export Entry, you can also view the Report Line Export Values.

The report export entries and their values are exported to the connected Shareflex DMS via the Shareflex Graph API using the export function or a job queue. If the direct report export is activated in the Setup, the export is carried out directly when a report export is created.
If the export is successful, the export status is set to Exported and the ECM status to Imported.

When a report export is exported for the first time, a new entry is created in the Shareflex DMS. The DocID received in the process is written to the ECM Response ID field. When an existing entry is exported (new version), the entry in the Shareflex DMS is updated using the saved ECM Response ID (DocID).

To ensure that each document is archived only once (possibly in several versions) with exactly one report ID, only one version may be exported to the Shareflex DMS at a time. Do not export a version as long as there is an older version without an ECM Response ID in the report export entries.

Note

ECM admins can delete entries that have not been exported.
