Extract metadata

Export via content replication produces a content package that's primarily meant to be machine-readable, i.e. it's usually intended to be imported into another M-Files vault. The metadata is stored in an XML file which contains all the metadata for the exported objects, it's not possible to only export certain properties this way. You should test the export with a small number of documents to see if the data is in a format that you can utilize. You can find the metadata in Metadata\Content*.xml in the content package.

Other options that you might want to consider:

• Reporting module: you can export the document data with only the Company information to an external reporting database and then further export the data from the reporting database to a file if needed. This is usually the preferred way if you need to export information about all the documents in the vault. Reporting is an add-on module so check if your license allows you to use it.
• You can also export data from a view or search results in the client but there are restrictions to the number of objects that can be exported this way, so it's usually not feasible if the export needs to include a large number of objects (e.g. all the documents in the vault, which could mean millions of documents in a large vault).
