In this How To Guide I want to go through creating new folders so you can scan back to PowerRetrieve then be able to search for them once they have been OCR’ed and Indexed in to your fileroom.
The steps are as follows:
First create folder(s) in your PRResources\Capture Import folder for your fileroom. This is the folder created to scan back to when the system was first installed and will have sub folders matching the folders and cabinets within your fileroom and can be usually found on the C drive of the PR server.
Once this has been created you can then move on to the next step.
Next Create a folder in Fileroom Admin, this is where the scans or files will end up once indexed allowing users to search and find them. You will need to click on to the filing cabinet where you want the folder to reside then click on the add folder icon on the toolbar in Fileroom Admin.
Once you have created the folder you will need to click the wizard to add users who can see that folder and to tell the system that it needs to index new files when they are stored in to the system.
Just follow the prompts and choose which users you want to be able to see that folder in Search, I would recommend adding the SuperUser or Admin account in case you need to be able to delete any files.
You may be asked to add label fields as you go through the wizard, these are useful if you are adding content that may not searched easily by the content e.g. handwritten notes. You can add content that can be searched on within the label fields.
When you get to the end just click Finish.
Next open up Capture Admin and link the folder(s) created in the first step to the folder(s) in Fileroom Admin. This will enable PowerRetrieve to watch for any new files that have been scanned then add them to the Fileroom so you can search for them.
You will need to right click on the correct Fileroom and select edit to open the wizard.
Follow the prompts, then check to make sure the new folder has been found.
Click next then you will be able to either use auto link or manual link depending on whether the folder created in the first step has the exact same name as the folder created in Fileroom Admin.
Once you have created the link click next until you have finished. You have now finished and can test by scanning something in to you new folder and make sure it is indexing.
