Exporting documents to a SharePoint library
ABBYY FlexiCapture allows you to export documents to a Microsoft™ SharePoint document library. As a result, you will get a library of your document images with additional columns for each document containing the values of certain fields.
Note:
- The following versions of Microsoft™ SharePoint are supported: Microsoft SharePoint 2013, Microsoft SharePoint 2016, Microsoft SharePoint 2019, and Microsoft SharePoint 365.
- Contributor permissions are sufficient to change export settings and to export documents to Microsoft SharePoint.
- Data can be exported to the following types of SharePoint columns: Single line of text, Multiple lines of text, Number, Currency, DateTime, Managed Metadata, ForLookup, or Yes/No (for details, see the Converting data when exporting to Microsoft SharePoint 2013 section below).
- The option Enable Kernel-mode authentication must be selected for the SharePoint site in the Internet Information Services (IIS) settings.

The maximum path length in Windows operating systems is 260 characters.Note: We do not recommend using the following characters in file names: ~, #, %, &, {, }.

Documents will be exported to SharePoint and will receive the Checked In status. Each document will have a corresponding column containing the values from the specified fields. These values can be used for searches and document indexing.
