NiFi Ingest 24.3

# Browse the Repository and Choose what to Synchronize

Some IDOL NiFi Ingest Connectors provide a graphical interface so that you can browse the repository. Some also allow you to view documents in the repository and choose the content to synchronize.

To browse the repository and choose what to synchronize

1. Right-click an IDOL NiFi Ingest Connector and click Configure.
2. Click Advanced.

3. Click Browse.

   The contents of the repository are displayed. The following example is from a GetFileSystem processor.

4. Browse the repository and choose what to synchronize.

   - To expand or collapse parts of the tree, click the item names. In the example above you could click the text "Subfolder1" or "Folder2" to expand those directories.

   - To obtain a document identifier or view a document, hover the mouse pointer over the item name. Links appear so that you can copy the item's identifier or view the document.

   - To choose the items that you want to synchronize, click the associated icons. You can click an icon several times to choose between the available options. For example, you can synchronize an item or ignore an item. With some connectors, you can ingest child items of a container but not ingest a document for the container itself. The icon changes each time you click. For a description of each icon, see the key in the dialog box.

     TIP: Red strike-through (as in the image below) indicates that an item is ignored because it is excluded by a property that has been set in the processor configuration. For example, the GetFileSystem processor allows you to exclude items by file size, file extension, creation date, last modified date, and so on. These properties cannot be configured by browsing the repository because they do not depend on the repository structure.

5. After making your choices, click APPLY.

   A dialog box opens so that you can see the properties that have been set.

6. Click CLOSE.
