This routine is used for browsing the collection by year and is meant to be as fast as possible. This section of the Dienst installation instructions discusses adding or modifying document format types to your document database and Dienst server. You do not need to re-index your database after adding new formats. Your server will automatically recognize the files that correspond to the formats. A multi-formatted document is one that consists of many files, each one being a different representation of the document.
Document formats are either non-paged or paged.
Users will not be able to view specific pages of a document in a non-paged format, but they will be able to download a single file that represents the entire document. Non-paged formats may be stored either in your document database, or they may be accessible to your Dienst server through an anonymous FTP repository . Paged formats Paged document formats are those where the document is represented by a set of files, each one corresponding to a single page of the document. The Dienst user interface allows users to view specific pages of paged formats of documents. Downloading the individual pages, however, requires multiple Dienst requests.
