Regular Expressions for Processing Data in Import Configurations
It would be very nice to be able to use a regular expression when cutting out text in readout areas while assigning to index fields. The current options are very limited, and present some problems in processing.
The exact issue is discussed in this forum post: https://www.docuware.com/forum/english-forums/docuware-questions-about-usage-and-configuration/name-parsing-import-configurations

Failed Import Jobs to Document Tray - Nonsense!
In DocuWare 6.8 when I use the IMPORT component of Desktop Apps to run an 1000+ file import from a specified source directory, I don't have to worry if the entire job fails because they go to a subdirectory within my source directory named "Failed" by default. Therefore, it is easy to rerun that job. However, in DocuWare 6.9, failed job files by default go to a document tray. The absolute worst place to manage 1000s of files. WHY! Please either make it so you can select a document tray as a source for the import job, or bring back…

Create info logs
We can see the import configuration, but we don't know who is using it or where. It would be great to have a running log file that contained details like:
8/8/2017 - user TGROESCHL enabled "To Doc Tray" import configuration on PC2
8/9/2017 - user TWEEMS enabled "To File Cabinet" import configuration on PC13That would tell me what the pc/server name is and also which user the desktop apps are connected as.
Could even take it a step further by recording job details, like "8 page document successfully submitted 8/9/2017 14:36:05" or "5 page document failed to submit 8/9/2017…2 votes -
Implement an import jobs failure notification feature
Sometimes import jobs fail, particularly in a server environment where there is no way of knowing that they aren't running properly without hearing from a customer or explicitly checking on the jobs. Therefore, there might be times where documents aren't being imported for a much longer time than we would otherwise know. If there was some sort of notification that can be sent to an assigned email whenever an import job fails, it'd make it much more efficient with regards to troubleshooting that issue much nearer to the initial time of failure as opposed to down the line.

Desktop Apps Port usage modification
Provide the ability to modify the ports that desktop apps are using internally. Currently having issues with 8090 and 8091 being locked by McAfee which requires IT intervention to modify those throughout the enterprise in order to run desktop apps successfully.
If 8090 and 8091 could be modified on install in a similar manner as the individual servers, it would eliminate an enterprise-wide headache.5 votes -
Allow parallel connections to multiple DocuWare Cloud-Systems within the Local Data Connector.
Currently it is only possible to establish multiple connections between one DocuWare Cloud-Systems und multiple databases. Connecting multiple DocuWare Cloud-Systems with one or more databases in parallel is not possible right now.

Allow Docuware to scan in "actual paper size"... such as the applications. They are legal size. It cuts off part of it once uploaded
Consider page size. Applications are legal size

schedule import jobs
Allow us to schedule DocuWare Import jobs. I have customers who need import across a VPN only at night. Previously they were using the scheduling features of Active Import to do this, but DW Import does not have this feature.

ability to add date/time stamp automatically when scanning.
The ability to automatically put date/time stamp on docs while scanning was available in DW desktop versions but is not currently available in the web version. Would be extremely useful when scanning a large document that needs a date stamp on it (legal documents) with out having to stamp individual pages.

Give us the option to ignore embedded PDF textshots
Occasionally we might come across PDF documents that have embedded textshot information that is incorrect or incomplete eg, when a document is OCR'd at an MFP or printed from Crystal Reports to DocuWare Printer. OCR will always be skipped in this case. We should have the option in the import/printer configurations to OCR the document and generate a textshot even if the PDF already contains one.

As this seems to be a rare case maybe the following article will help (see No. 4 on https://www.docuware.com/support_faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=185&id=1598&artlang=en)

allow the SmartConnect button to be bound to an anchor
The readout areas can be bound to an anchor, but the SmartConnect button itself can't so I have various SmartConnect configurations for a browser-based application in which the button will wander around a bit depending upon which browser the user is using, their screen resolution, and their zoom settings to the point where SmartConnect is actually unusable in a number of situations because the button is obscuring other things.
11 votesThank you for your idea. We added it to our collection of ideas and features and will further investigate it. We currently cannot say exactly when this idea will be implemented. As soon as we have more information we will update its status.

Split filename during import
A very handy feature to have would be able to split a filename into different index fields during import.
This feature already exists when reading content off a page as the "Cut out text" feature so I suggest adding when selecting the filename. I've run across import projects where there's a very structured file name (i.e. index1index2index3.PDF) and have the ability to split the filename into index fields would be very useful.

Allow multiple attachements in an E-Mail to be stored as seperate documents
When storing an E-Mail using CONNECT to Outlook, if the E-Mail has multiple attachments each attachment should be able to be stored as a separate document with a specific document type. Connect to outlook does not allow for this.

Allow customisation of Smart Connect button icon design
Allow customisation of Smart Connect button icon design (maybe ability to upload your own .png file?) so that the button matches the same look/feel/style as the 3rd party applications it is interfacing with.
This is key point from senior decision makers within orgs who sign off DocuWare orders, and it also ensures the Smart Connect feature looks as seamless and powerful as the actual user functionality which Smart Connect brings :)6 votes -
Process incoming documents from Connect To Mail with DocuWare Import
Our customer want split attached documents from e-mails automatically, they are testing both Connect To Mail and DocuWare Import, however, there is no way to process incoming documents from Connect To Mail with DocuWare Import.
As I see, a natural way to perform this is adding Document Trays like sources of an Import Configuration, another way is enabling DocuWare Import Configurations into Connect To Mail storing options.
Would be great have not to wait for next versión for this improvement, a hotfix would be great.

Enable OCR for automatic recognition of non-PDF documents in DW Import
When creating a new Import configuration you can use OCR for setting up automatic recognition as well as splitting and indexing, but only on PDFs. Since users use Import for more than just PDFs it would be great if that was available, since DocuWare routinely OCR's a stunning number of document types in other areas of the application (ie. point-and-click indexing, full-text search indexing...)

Using Connect to Outlook auto populate index fields from attachments
When a user has Connect to Outlook and they go to store an email with an attachment, it would be nice if the user could open the attachment and auto-populate the index fields with matching fields from the attachment.
