Output File Options

Storage Location

The Storage Location specifies the directory that output file will be written to when migrating this Document Type. It is recommended that a different Storage Location be used for each Document Type.

WARNING: If the user specifies Overwrite Output File in the Output File Write Mode and anything other than All Files in Storage Location\Batch Folder in the Shared File Options\File Directory Structure section each batch that is migrated will overwrite the output load file of the previous batch.

Specify a Storage Location by selecting one from the drop down list or by selection “New”. NOTE: Storage Locations can also be defined in the “Storage” tab on the Main Configuration Dialog as covered in the Configured Storage Locations section of this manual.

New

A new Storage Location can be defined by pressing the ‘New’ button, which will open the Storage Location Definition dialog below. When the new Storage Location is saved, it will be added to the list of Storage Locations and will be automatically selected for the user.

 

Output File Naming

Select from one of the following:

  • Batch Name
  • Batch Number
  • Batch Create Date
  • Migration Date
  • Fixed Name

Output Fixed File Name

If the user selected Fixed Name in the Output File Naming dialog box they will be able to enter any valid windows file name in this dialog box.

Output File Write Mode

Select from one of the following:

  • Overwrite Output File
  • Append to Output File

File Delimiter

Select from one of the following:

  • , (comma)
  • | (pipe)
  • : (colon)
  • <TAB>
  • <SPACE>

Document Path Output

Select from one of the following:

  • Absolute Paths (c:\images\my batch\)
  • Relative Paths (my batch\)

Select this option to place quotes around each index value.

 


 

Image File Options

Migrate Image Files

Select Migrate Image Files to output the tiff files.

Image Source

Select the Image Source:

  • Main Image – Image you see within the capture viewer

Storage Location

Select Storage Location by choosing a pre-defined location or configuring a new one.

Image Output Type

Select the Image Output Type: Multi-Page Tiff Image, Single Page Tiff Images, Single Page JPEG Images, Single Page BMP Images, Single Page GIF Images, Single Page PNG Images, Multi-Page PDF (Image Only), or Single Page PDFs (Image Only).

JPEG Quality

The default is 75 and is a good blend between quality and size. Raising the number will increase size and may increase the quality of the file. This setting affects Color, Grayscale and JPEG files only.

Tags to Output

When Alternate Images are selected as the Image Source, user can specify the image tag here. Only alternate images with the matching tag will be outputted. NOTE: Separate multiple tags using commas.

Alt. Page Behavior

Select Alt. Page Behavior: One Document with all tags, or One Document with each tag.

  • All Files in Storage Location
  • All Files in Storage Location\Batch Folder
  • Output File in Storage Location; Document files in Storage Location\Batch Folder
  • Output File in Storage Location; Document files in Storage Location\Batch Folder\Capture Folder

Duplicate Image/OCR File Behavior

When the program detects that it is about to create a duplicate Image/OCR file the user can select from the following behavior options:

  • Increment duplicate names (e.g.: 000001.tif, 000001_1.tif, 000001_2.tif)
  • Overwrite existing file
  • Use existing file
  • Stop Migrating

 

Single Page Output Options

Storage Option

Select storage options that best suit your business needs.

Naming Option

Select format by which the files are named.

 

External Application Options

The user may wish to execute another windows application as a part of this migration. In order to accomplish this, the user must configure the following:

 

Application to Launch

Select the windows executable to launch.

Application Arguments

Supply any command line arguments, if any. These are supplied by the executable’ developer.

Launch Timing

The user can choose between the following timing options to launch the executable:

  • Launch application after each Batch is migrated
  • Launch application after all selected Batches are migrated

Wait for Application to Complete - PSIcapture will wait for the application to complete its process before continuing the workflow. 

  • Maximum Time (in Minutes) - This specifies how long PSIcapture will wait for the given process above to complete before proceeding with the workflow.

 

Field Settings

The Field Settings tab provides a tool to map index values from the capture process to index or metadata fields in DocuWare's Web Portal.

The Field Name column represents the index field name defined for this Document Type, while the Linked Field Name column represents the index field name in DocuWare.

The Output Format supports Text Field Masking.

To include a field to be migrated, select the corresponding checkbox in the "Include" column.

NOTE: If there are fields that do not match fields in the dropdown list they will be highlighted yellow.

 

Custom File Naming

File naming tabs have a universal interface. The example shown here is the Single Page File Naming tab. It supports the use of system and index data to name the files that are being migrated to the DocuWare Portal. For example, the Client, Platform, Batch_Number, and Load_Date as index fields could be concatenated to create a naming pattern for the migrated files in DocuWare.

These settings apply to custom files migrated.

File Extension is available with the Text migration settings. Users can add a custom file name.

Pre-Processing

Bates Stamping Options

Bates Stamping is a legal industry standard for organizing and numbering multi-page legal documents. PSIcapture provides two methodologies for applying Bates Stamping: Capture Bates Stamping and Migration Bates Stamping. Capture based stamping applies Bates Stamps during the initial capture phase of a workflow. Migration based stamping applies Bates Stamps in the Migration phase of a workflow, which is typically the final phase.

See PSIcapture Administrator Guide: Bates Stamping

 

Imaging Processing Options

Select Enable Image Processing and then specify the image processing functions to run.

NOTE: The Enable Image Processing affects ONLY images files and not OCR. This feature is intended to be used when the desired images being migrated need a particular function run on them like Despeckle when the user has scanned in color and wishes a second output stream of Black and White images.

See PSIcapture Administrator Guide: Image Processing

 

Image Tag Output

See PSIcapture Administrator Guide: Image Tag Output

 

Output Options

Remove specified page from Migration Output: Page to remove from Output

A specified page from each document will be omitted from the output. NOTE: The Remove Page from Output affects ONLY images files and not OCR. This feature is intended to be used when the desired page to be removed is NOT a Folder or Document Separator. OCR is handled in the OCR Workflow Configuration section of this manual.

Remove last page from Migration Output

The last page from each document will be omitted from the output.

Include Folder Separators in Output

If data is included on the Folder Separator which is important to the user during Quality Assurance or Index but is NOT desired to be left in the output viewed by the end user; de-selecting this option will remove the Folder Separator sheet before outputting the file.

Include Document Separators in Output

If data is included on the Document Separator which is important to the user during Quality Assurance or Index but is NOT desired to be left in the output viewed by the end user; de-selecting this option will remove the Document Separator sheet before outputting the file.

Do not output items marked with Skip flag

Items marked with the Skip flag will be omitted from the output.

NOTE: The Keep/Remove Separators defined in migrations affects ONLY images files and not OCR. OCR is handled in the OCR Workflow Configuration section of this manual.

 

Document Filtering

Document Filtering allows you to only output documents which contain a Regular Expression match within the selected index field(s). This is commonly used when creating multiple migrations within a single workflow where you want an index field to direct documents to the desired migration.
NOTE: This feature requires Advanced Data Extraction (ADE) license.
