In case you use the Clone Activity, SmartBridge will use this property to identify cloned documents.

Option

What is it

How to use it

Document Key

Only relevant for Workflows that contain a CloneDocument Activity.

The key of the cloned document to be used for processing.

Click here to expand...

When creating a clone of the document (using the CloneDocument activity) you need to specify whether SmartBridge should process the clone or the original. When you have specified a Document Key, SmartBridge will assign the Document Key to cloned documents. With the Document Key assigned to cloned documents, you will be able to refer to the clones for further processing.

Leave empty if the activity should process the original document (default).
Enter or assign the Clone Document Key if the activity should process a clone document.

Recommended: Leave empty when you are not using a Clone Activity.

In SmartBridge 3 this option is replaced with 'Input Options'.
