ZIP Link

Document Link Grooper.Core

Defines a link to a file inside a Zip Archive stored on a parent folder.

Remarks

The ZIP Link class enables Grooper to reference and process a specific file contained within a ZIP archive attached to a Batch Folder. This is essential for workflows where multiple documents or resources are packaged together in a single ZIP file, such as digital mailrooms, bulk imports, or archival scenarios.

Usage Guidance

  • Use ZIP Link when you need to access, extract, or process individual files from a ZIP archive without unpacking the entire archive.
  • Configure the 'Archive Path' property to specify the internal path of the file within the ZIP archive.
  • The ZIP Link exposes the referenced file as a distinct document, with its own metadata and content stream, while relying on the parent ZIP file for storage.
  • This approach is ideal for scenarios where documents are delivered or stored in compressed form, or when selective extraction of files is required.

ZIP Link objects are managed automatically by Grooper during certain import or extraction activities, but can also be created and configured programmatically for advanced workflows.

Available Commands

The following command is exposed for ZIP Link objects:

  • Load Content: Loads the referenced file from the ZIP archive and stores it as a local attachment on the Batch Folder, making its content available for processing, extraction, or export. Use this command to convert a linked file into a fully loaded document within Grooper.

Commands can be executed manually by users or as part of automated workflows, providing flexible control over file extraction and integration with external systems.
