4.If this is the first time you are accessing Paperless OCR, the following prompt will display:
 
OCRGroupIDinitialdialog-mh
 
In the text field, enter the OCR Group ID number provided to you by the implementation specialist and then click OK.
 
Important: Your OCR Group ID is not vault specific; it is company specific.
 
The Manage Data Lists and Workflows window similar to the following will display:
 
OCRManageWorkflowswindow-mh
 
Note:  You will be taken to this window if you have already accessed OCR.

 

Data Lists and Workflows were set up for you, based on your requirements identified during the installation and configuration process.

 

Each Data List is a predefined database set up in the OCR system that is used to more accurately OCR your documents. A common Database setup with your installation is the Vendor List.

You will need to map each Data List to one of your accounting bridge lists in Sage Paperless Construction along with a refresh interval. After configured, the databases in the OCR system will be populated with accounting data and refreshed based on the interval defined in the mapping.

Data Lists

Database ID

This is a system-generated number that is associated with the identified database.

Database Name

This is the name of the database in the Paperless OCR system based on the selected Database ID.

List Mapping

This is the Bridge List selected in the Data List Mapping for the identified database window. Each Data List must be mapped to a bridge list associated with the accounting system.

Last Refreshed

This field displays the last date and time based on when the database in the OCR system was updated. The Refresh interval (mins) field on the Data List Mapping dialog defines how often the database is update. You can force an immediate refresh by clicking on the Refresh List button. This will clear the last refreshed time stamp; however, you will need to close and reopen this form to see the new refresh date.

Edit Mapping

When you click this button, a window will display. The window label mirrors the Database Name column entry on the Manage Data Lists and Workflows window. In this instance, the Database Name field entry in the Manage Data Lists and Workflows window is Vendor Master DB (WF 971598). The label of the window that displays after clicking the Edit Mapping button is Data List Mapping for Vendor Master DB (WF 971598).
