In addition to adding a customized text label to your Document Type button, you can also add a bitmap graphic to help users identify the button.

The image file must either be stored locally on the Front Office Scanning workstation, be available to the Front Office Scanning workstation via a UNC path, or be stored on a web server that can be browsed to via normal HTTP (i.e., via a URL that begins with http: or https:).

Tip:

Although multiple image file formats are supported, it is recommended that a bitmap image (.bmp) be used when adding a graphic to a Document Type button.

This feature is available regardless of if your solution is configured to use the small input and Document Type buttons or the standard, larger input and Document Type buttons. For more information on configuring the size of your Document Type buttons, see Specifying the Size of the Document Type Buttons.

To add a bitmap graphic to a Document Type button:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the DocTypes element and identify the DocType sub-element associated with the Document Type button you are configuring.
  2. Within the DocType sub-element, locate the Bitmap setting. If this value is not present, add it to the DocType sub-element.
  3. Set the Bitmap setting to the file path, UNC path, or URL of the image file you are adding to the Document Type button.

    For example: Bitmap="C:\Icons\InsuranceCard.bmp" or Bitmap="\\ER-Registrar1\Icons\InsuranceCard.bmp"

    Tip:

    For more information on the DocType sub-element and its settings, including the Bitmap setting, see The DocTypes Element.

  4. Save and close the configuration file.
