This topic will help you set up a conversion job. You’ll add and edit your conversion jobs from the Jobs tab > New or Edit.
First, give your conversion job a unique name.
A manual job will run whenever you fire it manually. A scheduled job, like the name implies, runs on a schedule (specify under the Schedule tab).
With this option, you will feed QuikFile a list of files you want converted. The list must meet these criteria:
To feed the text files to QuikFile, designate a Batch File Folder and save the files there.
Every time the job runs, QuikFile will look in the Batch File Folder for a new text file, read the list from it, and add every file in it to the queue. This is a good option if your files are managed by a database or another system. It’s also a good option if you have thousands and thousands of files to convert – instead of having QuikFile recurse through your folders looking for files, which is slow and resource-intensive, you simply tell QuikFile what files you want converted.
QuikFile will search through this folder for files to convert. It will look for the file types you specify, and can optionally look in subfolders too.
Select the kinds of files you want to convert.
NOTE: Some of these file types can’t be converted when you’re running QuikFile as a service. See Run as a Service for more information.
The following job options are available:
If you want to save your converted files to a new location, enter the location here. Note that you can save to more than one location.
