Scan destination My Folder module

The My Folder module is used to easily allow a scan to the user's personal folder. Access to the directory is carried out with the rights of the user under which the application pool of ImageService is running (see also Change System User). The file transfer takes place with the SMB protocol (Server Message Block).

The modules for the scan destinations are arranged on the device in exactly the same way as in the workflow (X-axis; the left-most scan destination is also displayed on the left-most device).

You can use variables in all input fields, see Variables.

The module can occur several times in the workflow.

Scanning module on the device

Image enhancement module

The Document Processing Module

The module can be connected to all modules (this can result in nonsensical workflows).

No restrictive modules.

If this option is enabled, the destination is initially selected in the scan dialog on the device.

When this option is disabled, the scan destination is not displayed on the device. It can still be preselected as a destination.

This field is used to specify the name that the scan file should be given.

Presetting: You can preset the field with a value or a setting. For required fields, which might not be changeable or visible, a presetting is absolutely necessary.

Properties:

  • Can be changed: If this setting is enabled, the user can enter something in the field or change the default preset. If the setting is not enabled, the field is grayed out and the content is visible but cannot be changed.
  • Visible: If this option is disabled, the input field is not visible for the user - accordingly, nothing can be entered (note the default setting).
  • Required field: If this option is enabled, the workflow cannot be continued until the user has made an entry. Presetting and/or visibility should be considered in this context.

With this switch you can specify whether a timestamp consisting of the date and time is to be appended to the name from File Name. Alternatively, you can use date and time variables in the File Name field.

The ImageService processes image data (e.g. from scans) and performs file format conversions, image optimization and the OCR function. It stores files in desired destination directories (depending on the module used, the rights of the user executing its application pool are used for this purpose). Its log file is Logs\ImageService.log.
