Basic Usage

Inboxes offer a flat, simple interface for accessing documents.  Inboxes are intended to be temporary as users are working with documents for filing or other purposes.  There are no search capabilities and documents are listed with only their basic properties and a standard grid.

...

While Inboxes have no concept of Indexing, the do display and allow for editing of a file's name.  The File Name field is a true reflection of the file's name in Windows.  So if a file named 00000001.pdf was imported to an inbox, the File Name field would have the value 00000001.  File names can be helpful to users, so in cases where documents sent directly to an Inbox from GlobalCapture, it may make sense to name the file with some relevant descriptive text.  The File Name can be edited by a user.  Click the Edit button in the toolbar and double-click the file name field in the grid.

Info
titleNotes
  • Keep in mind, the File Name property is the file's acutal name in Windows.  As a result, the File Name must comply with Windows file naming standards.

  • Avoid giving multiple files in an Inbox the same File Name.  While under normal circumstances, this is not possible, there are fringe cases where two files could share the same name if they have different extensions.

  • Email support from inboxes is presently limited to functionality that matches email from Archive when GlobalSearch extensions is not installed / configured.  Emailing features generate a corresponding PDF that can be attached to any email message, or subsequently emailed from your default PDF viewer application.

Indexing

In most cases, documents from an Inbox will be indexed to an Archive at some point.  Select one or more files from an Inbox and choose Index from the Action menu.  Choose a destination, and a familiar GlobalSearch Viewer will display, with the fields from the selected archive.

If you are indexing multiple documents, or you need to switch the targeted Archive, click the Action menu in the Viewer, then Switch Archive.
