All elements of a control file are optional, but it is necessary to define either a filepath or an originId.

The following lines show a self-documented template of the FluidTopicsControlFile.xml file:

resource > originId Defines an identifier for the resource that Fluid Topics uses later to send new instructions.
resource > filePath The path of the file in the archive.
resource > title Sets the name of the resource as it appears in the portal. If unset, Fluid Topics determines the document's title based on the value of its ft:title metadata element. If Fluid Topics cannot determine the title of the document, it defaults to the filename.
resource > displayName Does the same thing as resource > title but is overwritten if resource > title is defined.
resource > originUrl Optional element defining a value for the ft:originUrl metadata.
resource > filename Defines a filename for the document. It is only use for unstructured documents. If set for a structured document, this field is ignored.
resource > mimeType Defines a MIME type for the document. It is only used for unstructured documents. If set for a structured document, this field is ignored.
resource > description Optional element defining a short description of the resource.
resource > clusterId Optional element defining the identifier of the cluster to which the resource belongs in the search results.
resource > editorialType Optional element defining an editorial type for the resource. Accepts book or article.
resource > lastEdition Optional element defining the date when the resource was last modified.
resource > openMode Optional element defining whether to open external links in a new browser window. Accepts external or FluidTopics.
resource > metas Sets the keys and values for the metadata associated with the document. Expects a meta element.
metas action When updating metadata, it is possible to use action=append to add additional metadata or action=replace to replace existing metadata.
metas > meta Sets the key and value of a metadata element to associate with the document. It is possible to repeat the meta node as many times as needed.
meta key Sets the metadata key and the metadata name.
meta inheritance Indicates whether topics should inherit the metadata. The default value is true.
meta type Optional element defining whether the value of meta is a flat metadata key (string), or a hierarchical one (stringTree). By default, metadata keys are defined as string.
All values of a metadata key must be of the same type.
meta separator Optional element defining the separator used by the @type attribute of the meta element. By default, the separator is |.
meta > value Sets the value of the metadata. It is possible to repeat the value node as many times as needed for multivalued metadata.
resource > attachments Optional element to list resources to attach to a structured document. Expects at least one attachment element.
resource > attachment Provides information about the attachment.
attachment > originId Targets a resource by its originId. Should not be used with the khubId element.
attachment > khubId Targets a resource by its khubId. Should not be used with the originId element.
attachment > displayName The name of the resource as it appears in the portal.
attachment > originUrl The URL to attach.
attachment > sourceId The ID of the source originally used to upload the attachment. It is mandatory only if it is not the source used to upload the map to which the map attachment is to be attached.
attachment > filePath The filepath of the file to attach in the uploaded archive.
attachment > filename The attachment filename wanted in Fluid Topics.
attachment > mimeType The MIME Type of the resource to attach.
attachment > isAttached Accepts true or false. If set to false, the attachment is removed from the document.
attachment > insertAt The place of the attachment in the list of attachments. Accepts a consecutive numerical value (1, 2, 3, etc.).
resource > publishStatus The default value of publishStatus (if unspecified) is visible. Setting the value to deleted removes the document from the portal.
topics Modifies topic metadata.
topic Modifies topic metadata.
topic > selector Sets the topic to modify.
topic > selector>originId Use to select the topic to modify with the corresponding originId.
topic > originId The new value for the topic's originId.
topic > clusterId The new value for the topic's clusterId.
topic > title The topic's new title.
topic > displayName The topic's new title. Ignored if topic > title is also defined.
topic > originUrl The new value for the topic's originUrl.
topic > description The topic's new description.
