Using Pre-Indexed Batches

Pre-Index batches are a unique feature of SimpleIndex that greatly improve throughput for scanning a single document at a time.

Pre-indexed batches can be configured to allow the user to enter index values prior to scanning or they can be executed from the command line to circumvent user interaction altogether.

The pre-index batch option must be selected to enable Unattended Processing.

Some typical scenarios for pre-indexed batches are:

• SimpleCoversheet or another barcode application is used to automate indexing. Scanning is done on an MFP, and SimpleIndex runs automatically on a processing workstation to read the barcodes and export the renamed images.

• User scans one document at a time by entering field values first, scanning, and having all the images saved with these values automatically.

• User has several pre-defined documents that they must scan. All field values are generated automatically or saved with the configuration file. User loads the scanner and double-clicks the appropriate configuration to scan and save that file automatically.

• SimpleIndex is integrated with an existing application. A “Scan” button is implemented that launches SimpleIndex and passes the index values for the current document through the command line. The user loads the scanner and clicks this button; images are scanned and saved automatically.
