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.
