Directory Manager imports do not populate index fields that contain certain date formatsmain image

Description

When importing images using Directory Manager, if any index field date values do not include dashes to separate the month, day and year (e.g. 01152011), the index fields will be displayed as blank values in PaperVision Enterprise.

Summary

If directory or file names contain a date value that is formatted as “mmddyyyy” (e.g. 01152011), when Directory Manager processing operations are run, those values are not used, and are populated as a blank index value in PaperVision Enterprise.  To ensure the date values are captured, use properly formatted dates (e.g. 01-15-2011) for directory and file names.
