# Using an XML file to specify export settings

> Specify Laserfiche export settings in an XML file instead of editing script code, using the Configure by XML.cs sample and a per-Document-Definition scheme.

One advantage of using an XML file is that you don’t have to edit the script code or the Document Definition. All modifications can be made by editing the XML file, which is much simpler than editing the script code. However, the XML file should be located on every FC processing station. And you will also have to synchronize it manually on all of the FC stations from which data is to be exported to Laserfiche.

To specify export settings in an XML file:

1. As your export script, use the **Laserfiche — ExportScript — Configure by XML.cs** file.
2. Create an XML file named **\<Project name>\_\<Document Definition name>.xml** in the **Config** folder in the folder where you installed the LASERFICHE (the default path is C:\Program Files (x86)\ABBYY FlexiCapture Connector for Laserfiche\Config). This naming scheme will allow you to have multiple XML files for different Document Definitions.

<Note>
  In the code of **Laserfiche — ExportScript — Configure by XML.cs**, you can also find some other possible naming schemes and locations for your XML files.
