Targets and destinations

A target in Fusion represents a resource to which you can send data. A destination is the exact location on the target resource where the data is sent. You can send data from any dataset to a defined destination. This lets you process data from one type of dataset, review and enhance it, and then send it to any target. For example, you can process data from Exchange, SharePoint, and file systems and then send that data to Content Manager after you have enhanced it by identifying defined grammars and entities.

Depending on the agent clusters managing the source datasets and targets, documents that have not been collected may be automatically collected as part of the action to send to the selected target.

  • If the dataset and the target are managed by agents in the same agent cluster, uncollected documents do not require collection before being sent to the target.

  • If the dataset and the target are managed by agents in different agent clusters, uncollected items require collection before being sent to the target.

The following types of targets are supported.

Target Type Version or Platform supported
file system CIFS shares/SMB2.0 shares
SharePoint 2016, Office 365
Content Manager

10.1.x

IMPORTANT: Only Microsoft SQL Server RDB datasets are supported at this time.

If creating Content Manager targets, see Content Manager integration for additional tasks that must be performed.

Documents sent to Extended ECM destinations are saved to the Enterprise Workspace in Extended ECM.
