This flow chart shows how a content crawler determines into which folders to import content. The process starts in the upper-left corner. The content crawler goes through this process for the destination folder you select and then continues down the levels of subfolders, if necessary. The content crawler repeats this process for each destination folder you add to the Main Settings page of the Content Crawler Editor.

If the content crawler is set to ignore the filters of destination folders, the first step in this flow chart is treated as if the document passes the filters for the folder. Be aware that only the filters of the destination folders will be ignored; if the destination folder has any subfolders with filters, these subfolder filters will not be ignored.
