How to Use this Guide

This guide shows how to configure Kofax Front-Office Server so that documents can be sent to

Kofax Capture.

Introduction

Kofax Front-Office Server uses Kofax Capture Import Connector - Web Services to communicate

with Kofax Capture, retrieve form types that display as destinations in Kofax Capture, and export

documents to those destinations.

For scaling and balancing the distribution of documents coming into Kofax Capture, you can

install multiple Kofax Capture Import Connector - Web Services servers. When a job is submitted,

a server is selected randomly from the list of servers. If the request to that server cannot be

accepted, the next server in the list is tried and a round-robin mechanism begins until the request

is fulfilled and the job completed.

If you have defined index fields for a document class, they are retrieved by Kofax Front-Office

Server. Users can enter values for them in Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client (also referred to

as the Web Client) or at the MFP front panel. If you have defined values for these fields, users can

select them from a drop-down field in the Web Client. If you have hidden index fields, they are

also hidden in Kofax Front-Office Server.

If you are creating global shortcuts in Kofax Front-Office Server Administration Console (also

referred to as the Administration Console), you can enter default values for the index fields that

display when users send documents through a shortcut.
