NOTE

It is assumed that the operator has read about or is familiar with EzeScan Job, KFI and UPLOAD modules. If not please refer to the EzeScan PRO, KFI and UPLOAD guides. It is also assumed that the operator is experienced with the InfoRouter product.

Configuring Connection Settings

When configuring a Job, KFI or Upload to use the InfoRouter connector the connection settings panel must be filled in. If only using a single Server, it is recommended that the InfoRouter connection settings are configured globally.

1. Click the Admin menu, choose Workstation Options.
2. Click the EDRMS tab and choose the InfoRouter option from the drop down list that appears.
3. Enter the following information:

Job Settings

There are two ways the EzeScan InfoRouter connector can integrate with InfoRouter:

• Using a simple output to InfoRouter form. This can be created with a Job only, commonly used for low volume scanning or ad hoc type scanning.
• Using the KFI and UPLOAD modules. This would be used for specific workflows that utilise EzeScan KFI to assist in minimal data entry, reusing data, forms extraction and setting workflow defaults.

NOTE

The EzeScan to InfoRouter Profile Form functionality requires that the EzeScan Workstation be licensed with the EDRMS module.

Output documents using profile form

To enable InfoRouter output functionality on a Job:

1. Click Admin and choose Jobs (F6).
2. Click the Output tab and then choose the InfoRouter option from the Other Destination dropdown.
3. Click the Advanced button.

   

4. If using the global connection settings from the Workstation Options, tick the Use Global Connection Settings option, otherwise complete in the Connection settings.

   

5. Scroll down to the Output settings section.

   

6. Fill in the following details to change the defaults of the Profile Form that is shown when users profile (F4) documents using this Job:

   Field	Description
   Default Path	Type in or browse for the folder to display when the Profile Form is shown, or leave blank to force the user to select a folder.

7. After modifying these settings click the Save button, otherwise the changes will be lost.

8. The Job is now configured to save scanned documents into InfoRouter.

Import documents using browser

If there is a requirement to import documents from InfoRouter into EzeScan, (e.g. for markup/redaction purposes) an EzeScan job can be configured to do this.

This would usually be a separate EzeScan job - one job to scan and save to InfoRouter, then another to import from InfoRouter, markup/redact and save to InfoRouter.

NOTE

InfoRouter Import functionality on a Job is only available when Output to InfoRouter is configured - please refer to the above section for details on how to enable this.

1. Click Admin and choose Jobs (F6).
2. Select the Job you want to modify.
3. Click the Import tab, enable the Enable Import File Processing option and then enable the Import File from EDRMS option by ticking the box.

   

4. To change the import default settings, click the Output tab.
5. After modifying these settings click the Save button, otherwise the changes will be lost.

KFI Field Settings

The KFI Field Settings allow the operator to browse into InfoRouter during KFI indexing so the operator can then select folders and object types to be applied to the document.

NOTE

The following functionality requires that the EzeScan workstation be licensed for the EDRMS as well as KFI and UPLOAD modules.

Enabling browse options

The InfoRouter settings must be configured before a KFI field can use the InfoRouter browse functionality.
