n Use Lock File: set this option to True to prevent different Nuance applications from monitoring the same folder.
The service uses a lock mechanism which is used by other Nuance applications as well, so it can detect if
another Nuance application is already monitoring the specified watch folder.
n Use Encryption: setting this option to True means that documents in the watched folder are encrypted while
waiting for the service passing them to ScanStation. Because of Windows security settings, encryption works
for local watch folders only.
n Domain / User Name / Password: the credentials of the domain containing the watched folder (if it is a
network folder).
5.3- Configuring ShareScan (examples)
This section outlines the basic process to
n Configure a service (Activity Tracking)
n Configure an Extender (Forms Processing Extender)
n Configure a connector profile (QuickConnect) using the already configured service and extender
n Test your saved profile in the built-in simulator
When a user presses a connector button, the connector uses the settings specified in the connector profile that is
associated with the button, such as the button label and image, encryption of scanned documents, and the services to
use with the connector.
The recommended workflow is to configure services and extenders first, so that they are available when you configure a
connector profile, and then configure connector profiles.
You have the option to set up any connector with the Bypass redirect screen option. Using this option navigates the
userback to the Main Form at the end of the session or logout automatically if Session Logon is enabled.
The procedure in this section provides you with enough information to complete the basic configuration process. For in-
depth information, refer to the ShareScan Help.
5.3.1 - To configure a service (example – Activity Tracking):
1. Start the ShareScan Administration Console by clicking Start > Programs > eCopy Applications >
ShareScan 5.0 > ShareScan Administration Console.
The system initializes the .NET framework, retrieves configuration information from the ShareScan database,
and then displays the ShareScan Administration Console.
2. Select the Services tab.
The Configure Services pane displays a list of the installed services, including connector services, device
services, and common services.
3. In the Device Services list, select Activity Tracking. The Configure Activity Tracking Service pane opens.
4. Select Yes for the Configured setting and then click Save. For more information about configuring the Activity
Tracking service, search for the "Activity Tracking service" topic in the Help.
5.3.2 - To configure an Extender (example – Forms Processing Extender):
In this example, this Extender is used to process scanned forms, extract form data, and make it available for Quick
Connect via data publishing (using batching).
