The Front Office Scanning client can save manually entered document descriptions for each Windows user. For user-entered descriptions to be saved, the associated scan button must meet these criteria:

  • The button must allow users to manually enter document descriptions.

  • The button must not have default description values configured.

By default, when a description is saved, it becomes available for all other scan buttons that meet these criteria. The user can either select a saved description from the Document Description drop-down or enter a new description to be saved.

To override this default behavior and prevent descriptions from being saved or accessed through a specific scan button, add storedesc="false" to the < DocType> element for the appropriate scan button in the Epic FOS XML configuration file. For example:

<DocType name="PID Patient ID" bitmap="C:\FOS\images\drvLicButton.jpg" required="false" displayname="Driver's License" displayscanner="Scan ID" scanner="FUJITSU fi-7260" storedesc="false" ></DocType>
