# ImportExtractExternal

A Boolean value that specifies whether to process external files. Micro Focus recommends that you set this parameter to `FALSE`.

Some documents contain links to external files, for example URLs to files that are available through a web site. KeyView processes a link to an external file as a sub-file, but because it cannot extract the external file it returns an error.

Micro Focus recommends setting this parameter to `FALSE` to prevent CFS creating documents (which will contain an error code) for sub-files that cannot be processed, and logging errors that are returned by KeyView.
