+===== PCAT ingests bulk downloads from the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) =====
-==== PCAT ingests bulk downloads from the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) ====
+A core function of PCAT is to ingest archives (ex., .zip files) that contain bulk downloads from the US Federal Docket Management System (FDMS). PCAT also handles collections of e-mails bulk exported from Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, or other email clients. There are also XML, Microsoft Excel, CAT-style, and generic .csv file ingest options.

+==== Two key questions ====
+[[Where do I get FDMS bulk downloads?]] | [[upload_cat-style_datasets|How do I upload non-FDMS datasets?]]\\
-On the Dashboard, click **"Upload FDMS-Style Archive"**. You have the option to name your dataset when you browse to the file you wish to upload, otherwise it will use the file name. The default is set to ingest an standard bulk FDMS download. However, you can also ingest **[[http://www.qdap.pitt.edu/cat-dataprep.htm|CAT-style datasets]]** as well as **[[Upload Wordpress 2.0 RSS Feed|Wordpress RSS feeds]]**. Any text dataset properly formatted (.txt, XML, HTML) can be uploaded in the PCAT system. Browse to the location of the .zip archive on your local computer. You have the option at this point to click the check box to create a default dataset of every HTML file in your archive.
+==== Three simple steps to ingest your archive ====
+Once you have created a project, select **"Import Archive"** on the Project Management page. **"FDMS Archive File"** is the default on the drop-down menu. You have the option to name your archive, otherwise it will use the file name. Click on the **"Upload"** button.\\
