To allow the Front Office Scanning client to upload documents from a network share, add the referrallocation attribute to the referral DocType element in the Epic FOS XML configuration file (typically EPICFOSCONFIG.xml).

For example:

<DocType name="Referral Docs" referrallocation="\\server\referral\%winuser%"...

The value of the referrallocation attribute must provide the path to the network location where referral documents are stored. The following variables can be included in the path:

Variable

Description

%epicuser%

Represents the Epic ID of the current user, as provided by Epic.

%winuser%
