Configuring Custom Document ID (Index) for Database Uploading

 

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
