  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. 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. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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...)

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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 :)

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
