If you are exporting attached text for multiple objects for a report, rename the generic FSDOC and FSEMBEDDEDOBJECTS tables in the <rename> sections of the XML file to match the objects.

Attached files, documents and URLs do not need any preparation for multiple object types. The default value is the table name with each object type, e.g., FSFORMULAATTACH, FSITEMATTACH.
