Workflows DocuDirect 72
DocuDirect
DocuDirect is a separate but integrated program to let you create jobs to be
processed immediately, or at so
me time in the future. By choosing steps carefully,
you can set up jobs that can run unattended. A job executes a workflow according
to the job settings. Jobs are created in the Job Wizard.
In OmniPage Ultimate you have the following additional DocuDirect capabilities:
• Setting job timing and recurrence
• Folder watching for incoming image files
• E-mail inbox watching for incoming attachments (Outlook and Lotus Notes)
• E-mail notification of job completion to specified recipients
• Driving workflows with barcodes.
Creating New Jobs
Open DocuDirect from the Process Menu or from your system, by choosing Start > All
Programs > Nuance OmniPage Ultimate > OmniPage DocuDirect or from the OmniPage
Agent on the taskbar
.
Creating a job is basically timing a workflow. To do this, start DocuDirect (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
dif
ferent 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
spec
ific 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 DocuDirect to start it.
