Watched folders
In OmniPage Professional 17, you can specify watched
folders and e-mail inboxes (Outlook and Lotus Notes) as job
input. These allow processing to be started autom
atically
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
fo
lders 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.
Add the desired folders and file types (one type or all types). Click
the ch
eckbox
in front of your selected folder to include its
subfolders as well. To enable a number of file types, add the Folder
