What is an APF File?
Your APF file contains configuration information for HIPAA Validator Desktop or Instream. Each time you validate, an APF file is read to determine what is to be checked and what is to be displayed on the screen or written to output files.
The default APF file is installed in the Bin directory as $fsdeflt.apf. You can customize your validations by copying $fsdeflt.apf to a new filename and then telling Instream, HIPAA Validator Desktop, or Foresight Studio to use it.
