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 Wi
zard, 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 for
ap
proximately 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 De
activa
te Job. Then you can
modify the job freely.
Watched mailboxes
In OmniPage Professional 17, you can specify watched
mailboxes as job input. These allow processing to be
star
ted 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 mailbo
