There are a number of methods to add documents to FileHold. Users of document scanning applications will typically capture information from these documents during scanning. This information can be transferred to FileHold metadata fields using the Manage Imports tool, also known as the FileScan Bridge.
By default, Manage Imports works with Smartsoft Capture for scanning and indexing files before adding them to FileHold. It can also work with many other applications from Abbyy, Kofax, Kodak, etc. The FileHold professional services team is available to assist with configuring Manage Imports to work with your scanning solution. If you require assistance, contact .
The Manage Import tool can be used with data sources other than scanning applications such as FileHold Outlook Watched folders with the “Export XML files in Document Import compatible format”. In fact, any application that can generate the necessary XML file can feed documents to Manage Imports. See our blog for an example of mass barcode scanning files with Powershell and the open-source scanning application, ZBar.
