You can also create a document that can be stored in OnBase by importing an available image or PDF document into the Front Office Scanning client.
Only PDFs or image documents with standard image file formats (e.g., .jpg, .tiff, .gif, .bmp, .img, .png, etc.) can be imported. Documents with other, non-standard image file formats (e.g., .xml, .htm, .xlsx, .docx, .one, .ppt, etc.) cannot be imported.
Much like scanning paper documents, once an image or PDF is imported into the Front Office Scanning client, you must select a Document Type button to assign the document to the correct Document Type. Unlike scanning paper documents, when creating a new document by importing an image or PDF document, the Front Office Scanning client cannot be configured to automatically select the Document Type for you.
By default, one file is imported, the entire file is treated as one document, it is assigned to a Document Type, another file can be scanned or imported, it is assigned to a Document Type, etc.
Depending on your configuration, however, you may be able to import a multi-page image or PDF document, organize the individual pages into multiple documents, and assign each document to the proper Document Type.
All actions are performed in the Scan/Create Document window, located below the Selected Data Set window.
The buttons in the Store images as: section are configured by your administrator; the buttons in your solution may be named or may be displayed differently.
Some Front Office Scanning solutions are designed to allow multiple input buttons (i.e., Scan buttons) to allow users to scan documents from multiple scanners, from a single scanner using different settings, or to create documents by marking up an image template or by creating an E-Form. The Scan/Create Document window for these solutions has a different appearance; examples of this Scan/Create Document window can be seen in Creating a Document from an Image Template and Creating an E-Form.
