General tab

In order to manage a document file using ApplicationXtender, you have to first enter a valid DSN, user name and password.

Option Description
Activate

Select this check box to activate the component in the workflow. If this check box is not selected, the component will not perform any actions during processing, and the workflow will behave as if the component was not in the workflow.

This option is only available with the eConnector component.
DSN

Enter the Data Source Name to which you would like to connect.

User name

Enter a user name that is appropriate for the selected data source.

If the ApplicationXtender system is using the Windows NT security provider, you must precede the user name with a domain and a slash. For example, documentation\rfrost indicates “rfrost” is a user on the “documentation” domain.

Password

Enter the password that coincides with the user name that you entered.

Application

An application is the highest level of organization in ApplicationXtender. Use application for storing and retrieving documents.

Every time you store a document in an application, you must enter index information for that particular document into the index fields. The ApplicationXtender component stores the index information in a database so that you can search it later to retrieve documents.

Batch

When enabled, documents are held until further processing begins. Documents can be scanned immediately but processed at a later time.

If this option is selected, Name and Memo attributes do not need to be entered. If Name is not entered, a unique identifier will be generated and used. Using the same Name will append additional scanned documents.

Pass-through

This option is available on the ApplicationXtender eConnector (process) component.

If enabled, the documents are passed on to the next component in the process.
