Section 3: DocSTAR Import Software
? This section will cover basic information about DocSTAR Import Software
Each DocSTAR importing software is an add-on option. The following section will
describe the general importing process, then each import software package and its
special uses will be described.
The DocSTAR Import Process
The first time that any import software is loaded on the DocSTAR Host or client
workstation an entry is made in the Shared.ini file. The entry is found under the [Imports]
section and is listed as ‘Enabled= -1’. This setting in the Shared.ini file instructs DocSTAR
to periodically check for imported documents in the Import table of the Import database
(Import.mdb) found in the C:\DOCSTAR\DATABASE directory. As shown below:
If there are any documents to be imported, DocSTAR software will take the image file(s)
from the C:\DOCSTAR\DATABASE\IMPORT directory and convert the file(s) into a
standard DocSTAR document consisting of .tif or .jpg image files and placed into the
DocSTAR Inbox with a title indicating it’s origin. Below is an example of an Import
directory with files created by Print Import, Image Import, and Auto Import just before they
are imported into DocSTAR’s Inbox.
