Creating a Job

Use this procedure to create a job, which consists of bar code and index definitions and settings related to document separation, export, and more. You can also associate a scan profile with a job. Within a job, you create batches that consist of scanned documents and images.

When you start Kofax Express the first time, a demo job called Scan to Desktop is opened automatically.

  1. On the Job Setup tab, in the Destination group, click New Job.

    The New Job window appears.

    The "Existing jobs" list includes the predefined demo jobs, along with any previously created jobs.

  2. Job name: Apply the default job name, or assign another name.

    The default name typically consists of the base name "My Scan Job (n)" where "n" is a number to support automatic sequential numbering of subsequent jobs.

  3. Based on template: Optionally select a template on which the new job is based. By default, the selection is <none>.

    The list of job templates includes the following predefined templates, along with any job templates that you create:

  4. Click Create.

    If this is your first new job, the Select Scanner window appears. If not, Kofax Express assumes that you want to use the same scanner used with the previous job.
