Register disk files

Create system management information (metadata) for files and folders copied directly to the server disk. Source files and items that are already registered are kept as they are.

When the menu appears

In the file list, select one file or folder without metadata and right-click to show the Register disk files menu. You need permission to modify that item.

The menu is not shown for items that are already registered or when multiple items are selected. If a registered folder contains unregistered items, open the folder and select the file or subfolder directly.

Register an item

  1. Right-click the file or folder to register in the file list.
  2. Select Register disk files. Register disk files in the file right-click menu
  3. Check the target path at the top of the window. If you selected a folder, set the registration options.
  4. Select Start registration. Target path and Start registration button in the Register disk files window
  5. When the job is complete, check the registered, skipped, and failed results.

Registration options

These options appear when you select a folder. When you select a file, only that file is registered and no options are shown.

Close or stop during a run

  • Close only closes the window. A registration job that is running continues.
  • To stop the job, select Stop. Items that are already registered are kept.
  • Registration does not overwrite source files or run upload automation.
  • Completion of registration does not mean that AI knowledge indexing is complete. Knowledge indexing follows its own settings and processing status.
