XML external list takes the items value from an XML file. OptimiDoc updates the changes in XML files automatically.


  • Title - title of the scan parameter
  • Key - a key which will be used in naming or destination. To use the parameter value, enter in destination, file name and others [parameter_key], in other words key in square brackets, this parameter key field should not contain [ ] characters.
  • Required - if the parameter input is required
  • Type - a type of parameter
  • Default value - a predefined value which can be preselected from list or empty
  • Path - a path to CSV file with list items
  • Item element - an element name which represents item
  • Key - a name of list item key
  • Value - a name of list item value
  • Key/Value in attributes - check in case the key and the value are stored in XML as an attribute of the item. In other cases we search key and value as an element of XML file.
