Move the settings location for DocuWare Desktop from the ProgramData to the LocalAppData
In terminal services environments that wipe the ProgramData on a daily basis, it is difficult to work with roaming profiles and have DocuWare desktop apps work efficiently. It would be great if, in the next version perhaps, DocuWare could go back to storing these setting under AppData or another roaming folder so that it is more friendly to terminal services scenarios.

Autoscan/Scan hotkey
I feel like it would be a good idea to have the option to allow the scanner to automatically scan documents into Docuware when it detects that there are papers placed into the paper tray, or maybe even allow the user to assign a hotkey on the keyboard that will start the scanning process.

Create a cleanup tool which will allow the user to clean up documents which are stuck in pending
Create a "Clean Up" tool which will allow the user to clean up the client machines for those documents that get "stuck" in processing. Much like cleaning up cache, we need to clean up pending documents that are stuck, restart services, and restart automatically. A tool would make this easier for the user to do this from their own desktop.

Expand functionality in Import module
Please take the current (vs.6.7) "Cut Out Text" and "Replace Text" functionalities that are in zone and barcode reads and add them to "Dynamic" entries.
When importing documents from competitors systems such as ECopy, the file name often includes the indices separated by underscores (_). The "Dynamic Entry" option set to "File Name" combined with "Cut Out Text" function would allow these file names to be parsed correctly into the multiple DocuWare index fields.2 votes -
Emulate PCL Printing through Docuware Printer
If a client has a program that requires a PCL driver, it would be nice if the Docuware Printer could emulate PCL printing.

Allow to search across cabinets with Smart Connect
At the moment smart search is restricted to search in a single cabinet. Being the cabinet you select when you configure smart search. For us it would be great to press the Docuware button and to be able to search across multiple cabinets.

Add scripting for field values on Import and Smart Connect
Please add the ability to enhance extracted (OCR) data from documents during Import, Smart Connect and Printer. Having the ability to massage the data read (replace l with 1, z with 2, etc...) with vbscript or javascript would greatly enhance functionality.

Make Windows file meta information available
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

Make the Import jobs collapsible to make a list.
When there are many import jobs setup, it would be nice if they showed more as a list that can then be expanded (the item selected) to see the details instead of having all the details available at first glance. A long list means a lot longer to scroll to get to where you want.

Connect to Outlook: Able to Attach a Document from a Quick Search to an Email Reply
Situation: You have an email from which you need to reply to and attach a Document From DocuWare.
Suggestion: Rather than having to either download it or send it as a new document via the Quick Search, you should be able to pick the document and attach it directly to a specific email as an attachment. It would make it more efficient for people who use C2O and Outlook exclusively.

More search options with Connect to Outlook
We would like to see more search options in Connect to Outlook. Currently I have to tie the search to either a fixed value or a field in the email. We should be able to create a search dialog or use an existing search dialog to search Docuware right from Outlook so the user can search in Outlook, the same way they search in DW.

FIX DWPRINTER COMPRESSION
Im having problems using DWPrinter, because when i print a document DW printer create a PDF file, but if my original file size is 4.4mb for a JPG after i use DWPrinter the FIle Size would be 9.6mb. That means that creating a document via DWPrinter will increase file size. I also do a few test with other PDF Printers and the file size was less than 400 kb. How can you fix this issue

Connect to Outlook Watched Folders should have an option to keep the email in the watched folder
Right now watched folders in Outlook automatically deletes the emails that are put in that folder with out an option to change. In DocuWare 5 deleting the original was always an option. Would like to see that option returned. -- Plus, it makes more sense to have this option available for both watched folders and regular connect to outlook configurations anyway.

Add the abilty to store email without attachment in Connect to Outlook.
Connect to Outlook should have an option to store the email without attachment as a 4th option. Right now we have the following options when storing an email:
- Email and attachment, show email first
- Attachment only
- Email and attachment, show attachments first
Would be great to have a 4th option: Email only

Connect To Office App
How about a Connect To Office App, this app would be like the old Office add in and work similar to how Connect To Outlook does.
This could work alongside WEC rather than replace it. A lot of companies miss the old add in and the WEC although good can be a longer method of storing for the customer.
10 votesThank you for your idea. Right now we are focusing on other topics, so we are not considering this idea for future releases. If the demand for this topic increases, we might add it to future plans.

Have SmartConnect recognize apps by screen-scraping.
So many applications, especially the web-based packages that are so prevalent these days, don't change their window name as the user navigates through them. This is reducing the effectiveness of SmartConnect because it's growing more and more unable to recognize where/when to place buttons. If we could include a hot zone that it would look at, much like it does when auto-populating index fields, to help it decide when/where to show buttons that would maintain SmartConnects forward-compatibility.

Call DW Desktop scanning for integration
We are doing many integrations with DocuWare; in many cases the user would like to scan and store documents from within their applications.
I suggest to introduce methods where the user will call a certain scanning settings to scan and store documents "usually to file cabinet". this should have the ability to get the passed indexing criteria from the application.I believe this should be introduced to work via platform services and Smart Connect. it will be also great if it could technically work via URL integration.

Allow DocuWare Printer to print random documents to a specific basket.
DocuWare Printer is designed to identify a document which determines how the document will be stored in DocuWare. I have several customers that use Tiffmaker to print random documents to specific user baskets. There is no way to do this other than sending to a default basket with DocuWare printer.
