Universal Capture - Is there a way to create a new entry per file found

asked on April 24, 2014

 In either LF Scanning or Quickfields I am looking for a way to create a new entry based on the documents Universal Capture finds on the hard drive.

 

The default method for Universal Capture is to read everything from the designated folder and create a single entry regardless of multiple files or a single file.

 

If I have multiple files in my Windows directory is there any way to create a new entry for each file with only the pages in that file?

 

The situation:

 

User scans packets of documents in.

 

Each scanned packet has significance other than simply what will fit in the scanner.

 

User goes to Laserfiche later on in the day and uses the Scan module to bring these packets into Laserfiche through Universal Capture.

 

Because Universal Capture recombines all the packets they must manually separate them out again across thousands of pages.

 

This is why Import Agent does not apply. They are manually scanning but there is significance in the discrete scans and the work is now redundant to separate them again.

This isn't possible in Laserfiche Scanning, but is in Quick Fields. See this page for more information about how to configure this in Quick Fields.

Aha! That will do the trick, the user has QF for other reasons. I will setup a blank session and set Keep each file as a separate document. Thanks

Are there any plans to change this behavior for Laserfiche Scanning? It seems inconsistent when compared to Quick Fields and illogical when the documents are already split into individual files. If this were a on/off setting as per Quick Fields it would make simpler.
