To print, convert and save documents into a database with a unique identifier, the Index/Document ID can be used. The Index/Document ID helps users to identify the documents in the database, or to reference a document and perform a post-action, once the document has been in the database.
The Index/Document ID can be configured through the Document ID format field.
The Document ID format field accepts letters, digits, dash (-), underscore (_) characters and the following predefined variables:
Predefined Variable |
Meaning |
{DOCNAME} |
Document Name |
{USERNAME} |
User Name |
{COMPUTER} |
Computer Name |
{DATE} |
Date |
{TIME} |
Time |
{DATETIME} |
Date and Time |
{TIMEMS} |
Time with Millisec. |
The predefined variables will be substituted during the printing process.
For example, if the configured Index/Document ID format is ID-{DOCNAME}
· And printing a document named MyDocument995.PDF
· Then the Index/Document ID in the database will beID-MyDocument995
Another example, if the configured Document ID format is ID-{DOCNAME}_{TIMEMS}, and we printing at 10/30/2019 15:30:11.222
· And printing a document named MyDocument995.PDF
· Then the Index/Document ID in the database will beID-MyDocument995_20191030153011222
