From this screen, the templates can be modified as needed by Docubase Administrators.

New => Make a new template.
Modify => Make changes to the current selected template.
Delete => Erase the selected template.

The next screen to display depends on the model of scanner being used, but there will be common settings regardless the model. The screen shown is using a Fujitsu 4120C2.

Primarily, the items to look for on this screen will be:
MODE => Black and White, Color, Grayscale…
Dots per Inch (DPI) => 200 is sufficient for most applications
Page or Page size => Letter, Legal, postcard…

Clicking OK will display the Docubase settings for this template. This screen will display the same regardless the model of scanner being used.

Starting from the Top/Left:
Paper Source => This should have feeder selected unless the scanner does not have a feeder.
High Speed => This check box will try to speed up the scanning process if supported by the scanner. Having this checked will not cause any issues, so it is recommended to have this checked.
Duplex Mode => If both sides of the pages are to be scanned, check this box, otherwise leave this box unchecked. (The scanner MUST support duplex for this to function)
Output file => The only option that may need to be modified is the Multipage check box. If this is checked, scanned pages will become pages of a single document rather than a new document for each page.

Starting from Top/Right:
Maximum x => These settings can be used to force a specified seperation by the number of pages scanned. Leave as default unless the template is being made for a structured set of documents.
Save => If the templarte will ONLY be used for a single database, the BASEID can be specified.
Script => Select the processing script the documents scanned will be processed with.
Uniquie Batch Name => Check this to prevent scanned btches from all having the same labels (name)
Display always… => If you want to see the status window at the end of each scanning session, check this, otherwise leave unchecked.
Specific Processing:
Pages can be seperated based on the size of the image scanned.
White pages can be used to sperate the documents. They can also be set to be removed when identified as blank.
Auto crop => remove unnecessary borders from the document
Deskew => straighten an image if it was scanned crooked.
Auto stamp => a stamp message can be applied to all scanned documents.

First check mark the document(s) you want to index, if you click on the name of the document you can preview it in the right hand screen. Once selected you can select the indexing form you want to use from the left hand window. Below is an example of the briefcase with a document being previewed in the right window and a list of available indexing forms in the left window.

When you select your indexing form it will bring you to a new screen with your indexing form on the left and a preview of your document in the right window. Below is an example of this screen.

Next you will want to fill in all the keyword data for the document. Below is a list of options available in the indexing screen.

Click on the ‘Security’ tab once in the Internet options and then select the ‘Trusted sites’ icon. Click the ‘Sites’ button to add your Docubase DIS site as a trusted site.

If the uploaders are still not installed you may need to customize the settings to download ActiveX controls. Whats that mean? Back in the Internet Options, Security tab, Trusted sites page, click on ‘Custom level’ in there you will want to modify the ActiveX section to either enable or prompt the user for installation. Below is an example.

After the setting are configured correctly the uploaders will install automatically once you refresh the briefcase. Depending on the settings you selected you maybe prompted to install the ActiveX controls.

• To add files to the briefcase for indexing and storage you may either scan a file or import a file from your computer. To do so you will use one of the tools available in the briefcase to bring a file in. Below is a list of the options available.

• The above icon will bring up the scanning window for the user.
  
• The above icon will select or deselect all documents in the breifcase.
  
• The above icon will delete any selected documents out of the briefcase. If the document is indexed and stored in the database, deleting it from the briefcase WILL NOT delete it from the database.

The briefcase is the main section used for storage through the web.

It can also be used to bring in files that are all ready stored and inject them into a folder or Docubase workflow.

To access the briefcase click on the Storage button at the top, this will open your briefcase. The briefcase is split into three sections, left section has your index forms, the middle section has your list of documents and other document options and the right section is for the document preview.
