  1. Allow Paging for long lists in Folders & Windows Explorer

    There is a need, at times, to copy large numbers of documents out of DocuWare. Folders and Windows Explorer works perfectly for this purpose for smaller file cabinets.

    By Default, the maximum number of documents you can display is 10,000. If you set the number to be larger, then performance becomes unacceptable.

    It should be possible to break the documents into "groups" of 10,000 documents, and then to allow the user to go forward or backwords to the next or prefvious group of 10,000 documents. This way you can use this functionality on very large file cabinets, without the performance…

  4. Automatically redact zone on document when importing a document.

    In some cases a customer would like to automatically redact a zone on a group of documents during the import. This could very easily be an option in the Barcode & Forms Module.

  5. 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.

  6. Remove the name field

    When looking for imports all you need is the import and the folder. Adding a name is a duplication in steps.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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...)

  10. The import makes no sense

    I currently have 4 imports with 300 to 9i000 files to be stored, When I press the Start ONCE, an import starts AND KEEPS GOING with no way to stop it. EVEN THOUGH the import says it is STOPPED it is not the RED STOPPPED but the IN IDLE stop....but is is still moving images. Then it give me a warning but the warning seems to mean nothing as Everything got stored....The whole thing is confusing.
    So to fix it I would:
    1: Change the NOT Stopped and waiting to do something to IDLE
    2: ADD a STOP button or…

  11. 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.

  12. Add an option in the result list to “View Results in File Explorer”

    We encounter many occasions where multiple files from multiple searches must be emailed in reply to an email or uploaded to vendor or customer sites.

    Using "Send" of course causes blocking in Outlook so one needs to store the new message as a draft before continuing, and downloading multiple creates a zip file rather than individual files.

    By allowing the user to view the results of a search in file explorer, this allows for efficient use of the web client search functionality while providing standard file based integration recognized by many other applications.

  13. 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 :)

  14. DW Import allows for splitting by criteria when using identification

    To process batch scanning, it would be very helpful to have splitting by criteria option when having import identify PDF's that are coming in.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. Ability to select a shared/group mailbox for Connect to Outlook watched folder

    Right now, you can only configure the connection to your default mailbox. If you have a shared/group mailbox.. i.e AP mailbox, we would want the ability to select/create a watched folder within the group mailbox to track what items are pending to store.

  19. Camera Metadata for indexing

    Access Windows meta information during indexing files in the Document Tray or in Import Configurations. Many files contain native data that can be valuable in the documents index, ex., for photos, timestamps, camera Id and etc. - this would be an advance equivalent to point and shoot for the operator and a huge enhancement to Import

  20. 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.
