Upload Actions:

Metadata Customization

Users can add or remove Tags & Tickers as metadata at the folder level during the ingestion process, offering flexibility in how content is categorized and retrieved.

Folder Synchronization

Users can synchronize entire folders, including all contained documents. Synchronization is exclusively folder-based, with direct file selection not available.

Items to note:

  • Automated Sync for Existing Folders

    • Folders and sites that have been synced will automatically undergo periodic synchronization to ensure the content remains current.

  • Manual Addition for New Folders

    • To synchronize new folders and sites from OneNote, users must manually add them, initiating the synchronization process.

  • Synchronization Frequency

    • Automatic synchronization occurs every 15 minutes, facilitating timely updates to your content.

  • File Size Limitation

    • There is a maximum size limit of 100 MB for individual files, ensuring efficient data management and transfer.

  • Supported File Types

    • OneNote integration supports specific document extensions, including .pdf, .html, .htm, .txt, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .msg, .eml, .csv, .xlsb, .xlsm, .one, .tsv, and .ods, catering to a broad range of content types.

    • Support for Shared Notebooks is not available yet but is coming soon.

  • Account Sync Exclusivity

    • To ensure data integrity, each OneNote account can be synchronized with only one AlphaSense account at a time, prohibiting simultaneous user connections. These requirements are designed to optimize the integration process between OneNote and AlphaSense, enhancing document management, content accessibility, and collaboration capabilities within the platform.
