Your idea has been added to our backlog. We are now further investigating the idea.

To add to Mark Smith's comment (from 5 years ago), this behaviour is almost universally expected among the userbase now so it's seen as a deficiency when they see that DocuWare can't do it. This is the feedback I've received repeatedly from clients over the past few years and heard it again today while doing training on a project that's about to go live.

or allow it to trigger a single run of an AutoIndex job for just that one document. This would leverage the power of AutoIndex without the horrible inefficiency of having it run every 10 seconds to update any incoming documents.

When an index field is filled in to the point where there is only a single candidate in the corresponding select list, the remaining text should be automatically filled in (auto-completed). This is a very intuitively - obvious basic standard development practice/implementation used in most applications, including Oracle Capture, which our main scan operator has used for many years. However Capture implements the DocuWare toolkit, which is no longer available after version 6.7. So I’m trying to get her to switch over to the DocuWare web client. But having to do the additional steps of going into the select list really “trips up” her “rhythm” when indexing/storing the large number of documents that she processes daily.
When the time comes that we upgrade DocuWare past version 6.7 (Oracle Capture goes away), I don’t believe that she will be willing to use it unless the auto-complete functionality is implemented into the DocuWare web client. At that point we may be compelled to switch to another product, such as Laserfiche.
