Configure AppData

You must configure AppData for the FrameMaker Checkin tool by mapping FrameMaker file extensions with their corresponding Contenta objects.

During check-in, if a new object has to be created in Contenta because a new file is found in the FrameMaker document directory or a new file is found in the Graphics subdirectory, the tool uses settings in AppData to determine the object that it must create in Contenta Explorer.

  • The tool checks the extension on the filename in the checkout directory and matches it to a value under the key FmBook in AppData.
  • The value that is defined for the filename extension is the Contenta object to be created.

By default, if the file extension is not specified here, the tool creates a Contenta Graphic object.
