Database Integration
Unprecedented Control of Database Interactions   
Another feature that makes SimpleIndex great for integration with custom programs is its open database integration. Instead of using a proprietary database, SimpleIndex allows you to map its index fields to fields in any database table. It can be configured to create new records, update existing ones or retrieve them for viewing. These are the three basic functions for working with database records and what gives SimpleIndex its flexibility. By implementing database interaction with generic functions, SimpleIndex is able to interface with and perform these functions on any database.

    
       

 
Automatic Indexing Using Existing Data  
The Autofill feature of SimpleIndex is an easy way to associate many index fields with one document without retyping data that already exists in another database. Autofill uses a database lookup to retrieve records that match a key value entered by the user. Blank index fields are then filled in automatically with the data from this lookup. The result is a document database with many different possible search fields, of which only one needed to be entered during scanning.

The key field may be typed by the user, or it may be read from the document automatically using barcode recognition or OCR. The lookup is performed either when the user changes this field or when the index values are saved. If the lookup finds multiple matching records, the user will be notified and the first set of values will be used by default.

When used with pre-index batches, key information can be read automatically from barcodes or OCR and matched to database records with a single click.  Search on up to 99 index fields without a single keystroke!

 
Match and Attach Mode  
Simplendex 5 introduced "Match and Attach" mode, which combines the power of the Autofill feature with the ability to update existing records in your database.  This lets you "attach" images to existing database records by "matching" them with values from SimpleIndex. 

With other systems you must create a temporary database and write a custom import to match the scanned images to existing records.  When indexing with OCR or barcode recognition, the entire process can be accomplished with our 1-click interface.
