Job File

SimpleIndex Jobs

All SimpleIndex settings are saved to a Job File.

Jobs are configured using the Settings Wizard.

When you Run a Job, it executes all of the Batch Processing Stages using the settings defined by the Job File.

Jobs can also be run from the Command Line.

SIC Files

Job files have a .SIC file extension and are registered to open with SimpleIndex when you install the application.

You can double-click a job file from its icon and it will open in SimpleIndex and execute the Run Job action automatically. If the job is a Pre-Index job, it will run minimized and exit automatically when the job is complete, allowing you to easily work on other applications while it processes documents.

You can also right-click and select Edit to open a job file in SimpleIndex without running the job automatically.

The Command Line Interface can be used to create custom job file shortcuts that pass preset Index values, Input folders and other processing parameters to the program.

XML Files

Job files are XML formatted and can be generated by other applications to create custom workflows on the fly.

It is also possible to modify any single parameter to a job file by passing an additional XML file containing those settings via the Command Line Interface.

For example, you can run a job that does OCR in English by default, but switch the language for specific documents using an XML setting modifier.
