Creating new jobs
Open the Batch Manager from the Process Menu or from your
system, by choosing Start > All Programs > ScanSoft OmniPage 16 >
OmniPage Batch Manager or from the OmniPage Agent on the
taskbar.
Creating a job is basically timing a workflow. To do this, start
the Batch Manager (as described above) and click the Create
Job icon or choose Create Job from the File menu.
The Job Wizard starts. First you need to define your job type. You
can create five different types, instances of two basic categories:
Normal and Watch type.
Normal and Watch type jobs may have a recurrence pattern. The
latter are tailored to monitor a specified folder or e-mail inbox for
incoming images to be processed in OmniPage. A specific type
within this category is Barcode cover page jobs, where barcode
cover pages are used to identify which workflow to carry out.
Normal job: Set starting time and specify or create the
Workflow to be run. If you select ‘Do not start now’ use the
Activate button in the Batch Manager to start it.
Job types available in OmniPage Professional 16 only:
Barcode cover page job: This is a special type of folder
watching job (see below). It monitors a folder for incoming
barcode pages, then processes subsequently incoming
images with the workflow identified by the barcode. For
details, see Barcode processing later in this chapter.
Folder watching job: Select this job type and browse to the
folder(s) to be watched for incoming image files.
Outlook mailbox watching job: This job watches an
Outlook e-mail inbox for incoming image attachments of
a specified type.
