Web Client

Info

This is a Client capture module, adding this module will allow the Workflow to be visible into the connected clients of this type. The module itself doesn’t capture any document but it will look into the client incoming queue for documents to process.

Capture module Web Client allows to use this Workflow on connected and enabled Web Clients. When this module is added to a Workflow this will be visible, according eventually any permissions, to the Web Clients and Users in use.

Web Client will allow to import / scan documents from a regular PC via web browser by using the Scanshare User Dashboard and access the Web Client feature.

For each imported job the Web Client module will create a document into the target Workflow incoming queue. The document is composed by two files:

  • .img: the document itself in the original format imported and uploaded from the Web Client or in TIF LZW format retaining the original quality and properties if scanned
  • .var: the variables automatically generated for the job and user inserted via Questions in a strong encrypted AES format
Info

The default Incoming queue is located inside C:\ProgramData\Scanshare\Incoming\Workflow-ID.

Warning

The variable file is specifically linked to the Workflow for which it has been created for security reasons. If moved into a different Workflow it will not be parsed and generate a Bad Data error at the start of processing.

The left hand side menu shows the available settings sections. Settings are displayed according the selected section.

Questions

This section shows the list of available Questions in this server. From here new questions can be created and existing questions can be modified, however existing questions cannot be deleted and they need to be deleted from the general Questions list.

Select one or more questions, with the checkbox in the first column of the table, to be used and displayed for this Workflow on the connected clients.

The Questions section here is used in the same way in all clients capture modules. For more information check the Capture Questions section.
