DB Forms Imports
This option allows the creation and deletion of Individual File Data Import templates for a Document Type.

These templates are used by Individual File Data Import.exe to import data and documents into e4DM. DB Forms and Sage Paperless produce such data and documents and therefore items produced by DB Forms and Sage Paperless may be imported into e4DM
