Watched folders
In OmniPage Professional 16, you can specify watched
folders and e-mail inboxes (Outlook and Lotus Notes) as job
input. These allow processing to be started automatically
whenever image files are placed in pre-defined folders or
arrive into inboxes as e-mail attachments. This is useful to
have sets of files with predictable content arriving from
remote locations processed automatically on arrival, even if no-one
is in attendance. Typically these are reports or form-like documents
that are delivered repeatedly or at recurring intervals, for example
each week or month.
To use this facility, prepare a set of folders or e-mail folders to be
watched. You should not use these folders for other purposes, not
even for barcode cover page jobs. When setting up such a job,
choose Folder watching job, name it and click Next. In the dialog
box that appears, browse to the folders.
