The field list is a feature used throughout Temenos Infinity to define the fields to display on reports, views, and exports. It is also used in criteria building for reports, views, exports, and searches. The field list is a feature used in criteria building for searches. Each field selector window looks the same regardless of how it is accessed. In the below example, the field selector has been accessed through the Fields tab when creating a new report.

If there are no documents to include in an Optical Export, a status message is received to inform that the export process ended successfully with 0 documents exported. For more information on this process, please see the Optical Export Process section in this topic. |
When finished reviewing the export status and instructions, close the pop-up window.
Each time an Optical Export is run, the Optical Export Process executes to create an index file including the documents associated with each application that meet the export criteria. This process looks for all attachments that have not yet been exported, as well as application documents where the following are true:
![]() |
If there is not a signed version of the document, the process sends the original document. |
![]() |
If there are multiple documents associated with an application, and some were already exported, only the documents not included in the previous export are added to the index file; a success message is received to inform that the export completed successfully, and the exported documents are able to be viewed in the index file. |
When added to the index file, documents are separated by Classification Type (FILENAME), and are listed with the following naming convention: <FILENAME>.<RUNDATE>.<RUNTIME>.<Extension>. For example, DRIVERSLICENSE.10212016.1015.csv.
![]() |
If two documents with the same name are included in the file, a numeric counter is added to the format of the naming convention. For example, DRIVERSLICENSE.10212016.1015.pdf and DRIVERSLICENSE.10212016.1015.1.pdf. |
The format and extension of the file is dependent upon the File Type assigned to the export within the Optical Export Details tab.
When the File Type is set to Default, the file is exported in .CSV format. If the File Type is set to Synergy, the file is exported in an .XML format. Reference the following sections for an overview of the file mapping for each format:
