Add the desired folders and file types (one type or all types). Click
the checkbox in front of your selected folder to include its
subfolders as well. To enable a number of file types, add the Folder
repeatedly, once for each type. Add a checkmark to watch
subfolders of the selected folder as well.
When you reach the next panel of the Job Wizard, you set the
timing instructions: a starting time and an end time for the
watching to occur. You can specify recurrences, for instance to have
the folder(s) watched only during your lunch hour (Start 12.15, End
13.05) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or overnight in the
last three days of each month, when you keep your computer
running to collect and process monthly reports arriving from afar.
When files enter a watched folder, the program waits
approximately for the interval specified in Batch Manager Options
for more files to arrive in order to process them together. When files
cease to arrive, processing starts.
To finish the watching early, choose Deactivate Job. Then you can
modify the job freely.
Watched mailboxes
In OmniPage Professional 16, you can specify watched
mailboxes as job input. These allow processing to be
started automatically whenever image files of specified
file types are placed in pre-defined e-mail folders. This
is useful to have sets of files with predictable content
arriving processed automatically on arrival, even if no-
one is in attendance.
The program supports watching Microsoft Outlook and Lotus
Notes mailboxes.
