# Export Documents to Filesystem Job

Periodically exports all documents from SharePoint matter libraries to a local or network directory.

Configuration class: ExportDocumentsToFileSystemCfg

Schedule: runs once or more daily at configured times (TimeOfDay)

# Configuration

Configure under Settings > ExportDocumentsToFileSystem in the provisioning service configuration.

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`Disabled`	bool	`false`	Disable the scheduled job without removing configuration
`ExportDirectory`	string	—	Root directory where exported documents are written. Each matter gets its own subdirectory
`TimeOfDay`	TimeSpan[]	—	Times of day when the job runs. Multiple values schedule repeated runs. Example: `09:00:00,17:00:00`
`MatterListFilter`	string	—	Optional filter on the matter list. Supports a single rule with syntax `field=value`. Only one filter is supported
`ExportDirectoryUseMatterCodeAndName`	bool	`false`	When enabled, subdirectories are named `{mattercode}__{mattername}` instead of just the matter code

# How it works

Filters the matter list using MatterListFilter if configured
For each matter, creates {ExportDirectory}\{mattercode} (or {mattercode}__{mattername} when ExportDirectoryUseMatterCodeAndName is enabled)
Downloads all documents from each matter's document libraries, preserving the folder hierarchy

# MatterListFilter

Filters the matter list before exporting. Only matters matching the filter are exported. Syntax: field=value, where field is the internal name or display name of any column in the SharePoint Matters list.

The filter performs an exact equality match (case-insensitive). Only one filter rule is supported.

Special value __EMPTY__ matches matters where the field is empty or null.

Example	Effect
`Status=Active`	Export only matters where the `Status` column equals `Active`
`Status=__EMPTY__`	Export only matters where `Status` is empty
`MatterType=Litigation`	Export only matters of a specific type

Field must exist in the Matters list

If the field name is not found in the SharePoint Matters list, the job fails with an error. Use the internal name or display name exactly as configured in the list.

# Troubleshooting

# Job does not run

Cause: Disabled is true, TimeOfDay is empty, or ExportDirectory is not set
Resolution: Ensure all three are configured
