How does vFiler work?
vFiler processes documents that are placed into a designated local or network folder and, dependent on the administrator defined workflow, may OCR the full content of a document, scan a bar code or process the document as a form.
Document workflows may include lookups against external data sources, such as business accounting databases or CRM systems, allowing additional metadata to be added to the document or to determine the OCR'ed contents validity.
vFiler’s ability to recognize different document types is a powerful feature that is used across many applications; this is particularly useful in Accounts Payable departments, where hundreds of vendor invoices, bulk uploaded to the capture folder, are immediately and accurately stored in KnowledgeTree.
The application also allows workflow designers to publish documents to user-defined local Windows folders, bringing two major benefits: backups, for redundancy; and support for future document migration, using folder and file names as index variables.
