Plan connector profiles

To obtain the best result from your connector, you may want to consider the ways the connector is used in your work environment, as well as a number of other factors, for instance:

  • Saving time: If you want to reduce the amount of time your users spend at the device, you can set up an Express connector profile that allows users to scan and send documents by simply pressing the connector button at the device. You can create multiple buttons and configure each to scan documents to, or store documents in a different destination. You can also control the number of destinations presented to the user at the device and the attributes for each destination. Users can also save time by not having to enter their credentials each time they use the device. To enable your users to skip this step in the scanning process, select the Logon as option on the Authentication tab when you configure the destination for your connector profile.You may also want to consider the ShareScan Session Logon feature, which, when set, allows users to bypass the Logon screen altogether.
  • Enhancing security: If you want to keep track of the documents sent by each user, select the Logon at runtime option on the Authentication tab when you configure the destination for your connector profile. This forces users to log on each time they use the connector and allows the system to keep a record of the documents sent by each user in the log file.
  • Controlling access: Depending on the individual connectors, you can limit the accessible destinations in a number of ways, including
    • Configure connector profiles that allow access to a single destination, or to a limited set of destinations.
    • Disable the Allow subfolder navigation option if you do not want your users to have access to the folders and sub-folders of the configured destination.
    • Disable the Enable navigation option if you do not want your users to have access to the locations below the configured destination.
    • Select the Logon at runtime option at the Authentication tab when you configure the destination for your connector profile.
    • Configure connector profiles that only allow access to a single profile.
    • Configure connector profiles that allow access to a limited set of libraries.
    • Select Session logon and Runtime as the Authentication type when you configure the scanning destination for your connector profile.
