This setting allows you to specify a separate directory where scan formats are stored.
-
If a ConfigPath is not specified, the Scan Acquisition Server reads and stores scan formats in the specified Path.
-
If a ConfigPath is specified, the ability to add, modify, or delete scan formats using the Scan Acquisition Server is disabled by default. This behavior can be overridden by the OverrideSharedFormats setting. See OverrideSharedFormats for more information about this setting.
The ConfigPath can include the %username% variable to represent the Windows user name of the current user. This configuration may be necessary for solutions where a single set of scan formats is being distributed to user-specific locations.
Within the <![CDATA[ ]]> tag, enter the full path to the scan formats directory. See the following example:
<![CDATA[\\server\SAS\formats]]>
If you specify a ConfigPath, ensure the scan formats stored there are compatible with the scanners that will access them. Different Scan Acquisition Servers may need to access different ConfigPath locations based on scanner types and user roles.
To lock down users' ability to modify scan formats, deny the users the Write or Modify permission to the network location where scan formats are stored.
