CAPTURING DOCUMENTS INTO IMAGENOW™

ImageNow™ provides three choices for importing documents into system. Depending on the choice selected, you must complete various steps to import a document. Additionally, certain choices are more advantageous than others, depending on your usage intent.

Import from disk

Important Considerations

Use this option when the document/record already exists on a drive (such as the W:\ drive).

When imported from disk, the document/record maintains a “native” file format. For example, if you import an Excel Spreadsheet, the file will remain an Excel Spreadsheet within ImageNow. This will allow you to export a copy of the spreadsheet and edit the contents.

Unless the file is imported as a .TIFF, you will be unable to use annotations on the document.

Scanner

Important Considerations:

All documents/records scanned into ImageNow™ are saved as .TIFF files in the system.

Use this option when the document/record is on paper and you want to import it into ImageNow™.

Use this option if you desire to annotate on the document.

ImageNow™ Printer

Important Considerations

All documents/records printed into ImageNow™ are saved as .TIFF files in the system.

This method can be used to “print” PDF files into ImageNow™ to be saved as individual images.

acceptable. In this stage, you are verifying the document is visually readable to the degree acceptable to shred the paper

document. Depending on the outcome of the QA, select the appropriate action under “Batch Processing”. If you are

satisfied with the document quality, click “mark page as ok”:

Options in the QA Stage

Mark as OK: This page has met the minimum standards established by the drawer data steward. The image is machine

readable and acceptable for indexing within ImageNow.

this example, International Dude was the first employee of ten on the spreadsheet. After linking, locate International

Dude’s document (as seen below), right click on the row and select “copy document”:

Campus Connection (as seen below). In the “Copy Document” screen, select your application plan from the list. Then, click

link. After linking, Todd’s information will display as seen below. When complete, click ok.
