Introduction to Administration Console

1. Manage MFP Devices.

   Use self-registration, automatic discovery, or add devices manually.

2. Create Destinations and Shortcuts

   Create destinations and shortcuts to Kofax Capture form types so that users can send documents to them directly from the devices. When associated with a device profile that is associated with a device, the destinations and shortcuts display as buttons on the MFP front panel or device screens. You can also set custom scan export settings for each destination and shortcut.

3. Create device profiles, and then associate device profiles with shortcuts or destinations and devices. See Create, Associate, and Edit Device Profiles.

You grant users permission to use Thin Client activities by Creating and Associating Thin Client Permissions. Create permissions by associating Thin Client activities to a permission role. You can either associate users and groups during the creation process, or you can save the permissions and associate them later in Associating Permissions with Users and Groups.

You can receive email notifications about documents sent to shortcuts and destinations. Notifications can be customized for your choice of recipients to include a message with information from the documents. You can specify when messages are sent (such as on successful delivery or an error) and create different notifications for different destinations and users. To set up notifications, see Sending notifications.

Click the Help button on the Administration Console window. You can use the contents, index, and search features to go to any topic in the Help system.

See the Kofax Front Office Server Support pages on the Kofax website for a list of supported devices. Information about installing and configuring MFPs is in the Kofax Front Office Server administrator guide for the MFP.
