Confirm updates when saving Documents

When selected DocuXplorer displays a dialogue box requesting confirmation before saving a document

Confirm updates when copying or moving Folders

When selected the Update Folders feature is enabled. A dialogue box is displayed when a user moves or copies a folder into a Cabinet that already contains the same folder. The dialogue box informs users of any changes to the folder’s contents and asks the user to update the original folder or create a new folder.

Confirm updates when copying or moving Documents

When selected the Update Documents feature is enabled. A dialogue box is displayed when you move or copy a document into a Cabinet that already contains a previous version of the same document. The dialogue box informs users of any changes to the document’s index or image and asks the user to update the original document or create a new document.

Automatically Save Index Set Changes

Each user of the system can individually use the option by checking it or turn it off by removing the check mark.

When this option is selected, changes will be saved to the Index Set properties automatically. For example, if you change one or more index set properties and move to a new folder, the settings and changes will be saved automatically as you leave. If the option is not checked and you move off the  folder, the index set properties changed will revert back to what they were prior to any changes

Note:

To use this function a user must have security permission to modify Index Set properties.

Import Document Settings

Send original files of imported document to the Recycle Bin

When selected, DocuXplorer will send original files of documents imported from a local drive to the operating system Recycle Bin. Documents imported from a shared network drive can not be sent to the operating system Recycle Bin and are deleted without the ability to be restored from the operating system.

Tip:

This feature provides you with a method of clearing imported files from your hard drive, preventing any confusion by assuring that all working documents are stored only in the DocuXplorer database.

Automatically attempt to extract text from PDF

When checked DocuXplorer will attempt to extract text from a PDF document to use in a Full Text Search. Text can only be extracted from PDF documents that have been OCR'd in Adobe Acrobat or have been created from text such as in a PDF created from a Word document.

 

Document Conversion Process

This sets a global default that allows DocuXplorer to convert existing documents to PDF. This conversion process uses the DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver, while DocuXplorer defaults the Print Driver name to DocuXplorer - PDF. If a user changes the DocuXplorer Print Driver name this drop down list will allow those users to reset to the correct Print Driver to use for the conversion process. A user may also select that multiple print drivers be used to create new documents that default to DocuXplorer.

Note:

The conversion process supports either the DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver or the Peernet e-TIFF x.0 driver. The DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver is the default setting. The Peernet e-TIFF x.0 driver is 3rd party software not supplied with DocuXplorer and will convert documents to a TIFF image.

For a document to be printable using the DocuXplorer Print Driver, the native program must be installed on that computer and the program must support printing from Windows Explorer.

Print Driver to execute for conversion process - Select the print driver to execute during conversion process

Extract text when adding printed document - automatically extract text from documents added to DocuXplorer using the DocuXplorer PDF Print Driver or any Peernet Print Driver to be used in a Full Text Search.

Document Type created during conversion process - the displayed file extension represents the file type created by the conversion process.

Enable support for other installed print drivers - Uncheck this option to have optional Peernet Print Drivers use their default settings instead of sending documents to DocuXplorer.
