	~~There~~ are times when you want to load data into IBM Content Manager OnDemand, but you don't have all of the data you need at the time the load is run, or the values you want to use can't be located in the document itself.		=== What is the CMOD Generic Index File Format? ===
			In Content Manager OnDemand, there are a variety of 'indexers' that can read documents directly, and identify metadata by it's location in the document. When you have documents that CMOD can't natively or automatically read (for example, images of text or handwritten notes) then you can provide the document metadata with a Generic Index File.

			For the technical details of the OnDemand Generic Index format, you can read the Indexing Reference for your CMOD Version:
			[https://cmod.wiki/dox/CMODv9.0/IndexingReference.pdf v9.0]   [https://cmod.wiki/dox/CMODv9.5/IndexingReference.pdf v9.5]   [https://cmod.wiki/dox/CMODv10.1/IndexingReference.pdf v10.1]

			Generic Indexes are often provided as the output from ICR / OCR systems like Kofax and IBM DataCap, so that images that have been processed by these systems can be ingested easily into CMOD.

			However, there are times when you want to load data into IBM Content Manager OnDemand, but you don't have all of the data you need at the time the load is run, or the values you want to use can't be located in the document itself.

	In these cases, you can set a 'Default Value' in the IBM CMOD Admin Client Application window, under the Load Information tab.		In these cases, you can set a 'Default Value' in the IBM CMOD Admin Client Application window, under the Load Information tab.
