Unattended Processing

Any job configured to run as a pre-indexed batch can be run as an automatic background tasks using the SimpleIndex server. New batches are created automatically when files are saved to the Input folder. This can operate as a completely automated system, or as one step in a multi-step workflow.

Using a server process has many advantages. The biggest advantage is that nobody needs to manually initiate each new batch job or wait while large OCR jobs to run on their desktop. Anyone can submit files for processing from their desktop or network scanners without installing SimpleIndex or other special software.

If OCR results need to be validated, those users only need an inexpensive Standard license. Files output by the server can be added to validation queues where multiple users can review the documents and fill in any missing data.
