To start the Document Factory, you have to add a new Document Set with the menu item  File    New    Document Set   . There you have to give a name for the new Document Set and optionally a description.

To set entities in the folder hierarchy of a Document Set use the menu  Entities   . You can specify the name and the value for a new entity or change an old one. If the name field remains empty, the entities will be removed.

For templates, i.e. documents of type Document Template (text/x-bscw-template), you set the evaluation parameter with the  Eval Parameter   . This lets you define a template name, with which this template is combined, and a document name, if the template will result in a document. Internally the evaluation parameters are entities with the name @template@ or @document@ respectively.

To show all entities in a folder or a template, use  Show Entities   . If a name is in italics it is inherited through the directory structure.

The operation "evaluate" starts the evaluation process on the selected objects.

For a backup of a Document Set you can save all entities with  Export Entities   . This generates a file with the following syntax, and saves it to your local machine:

<object path>' = {

<entity name>' : '<entity value>',
...

}
...

With the menu item  Import Entities   , you can import such backups of the entities.
