Chapter 1 - Introduction
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
PaperVision Xpress provides you with a single interface for accessing and
manipulating your corporate information.
Licensing
As stated in your End-User License Agreement, PaperVision is licensed perconcurrent user. This allows you the greatest flexibility in licensing as a
license is only used when a user is logged into the system. If all of the licenses
are in use, the user will be prompted that there are no licenses available for
their session.
PaperVision Distribution Assistant is an optional component which is licensed
once for a single database (unlimited entities). PaperVision Distribution
Assistant provides an application that is automatically placed on migrated data
groups to facilitate easy retrieval (view and print) of documents from those
data groups.

Chapter 3 – Searching for Documents
Chapter 3 – Searching for Documents
Overview
The key to PaperVision is its extremely easy, yet powerful, search
capabilities, allowing you to locate any desired document in seconds.
PaperVision offers the ability to easily perform either extremely detailed or
very broad searches within a project. You can perform multiple searches
across multiple index fields at the same time, as well as perform limiting
searches (allowing you to specify ranges of values) on dates and numbers.
General Searching Rules
•
You can specify the number of documents to return in a single query through
your Options settings.
•
All numeric and date fields allow you to perform "limiting searches" to limit
the results to a specific range of values. If both range limits are not filled for a
particular index field, PaperVision will search for the one specific value you
have entered.
•
Index field searches are NOT case sensitive. In other words, entering the name
"smith" will find "Smith".
•
PaperVision allows you to utilize the "*" wildcard to specify any number of
unknown characters. For example, searching for T* in a name field would
locate any document that had a name beginning with the letter T. Furthermore,
searching for *T* would locate any document that included a letter T
anywhere in the name. Finally, searching for *T would locate any document
whose name ended with the letter T.
•
PaperVision allows you to utilize the “_” wildcard to specify a single
unknown character. For example, searching for S_N would locate SON, but it
would not locate SOON.
•
PaperVision allows you to search for a single character within a range or list
by using the [ and ] characters. For example, searching for A[456]TEST
would locate A4TEST, A5TEST, and A6TEST. The same thing could also be
accomplished by searching for A[4-6]TEST. You can also utilize letters
within the brackets to search for a range or list of letters (i.e. [a-f]).
®
PaperVision Xpress
33
User Guide
Chapter 3 – Searching for Documents
•
You can perform multiple searches within a single index field by using the &
(and) and ^ (or) operators. To perform a search on a name field for names that
begin with an A or Z, you could simply enter A*^Z*. To perform a search on
a name field for names that begin with an A and end with a P, you could enter
either A*P.
•
To search for a document whose index field contains an ampersand, simply
use &&. For example, to find Johnson & Johnson, you would search for
“Johnson && Johnson”.
•
You can perform searches on multiple fields at once. Simply enter the search
criteria into the desired fields and select a Search Type of "And" (to find
documents where all criteria has been met) or "Or" (to find documents where
any of the criteria has been met).
•
During the search, PaperVision will initially sort the results in ascending order
based on the Sort By field selected. Please note that "long text" fields are not
available to be sorted on.

Chapter 4 – Search Results
Overview
Based on the criteria you provided, the server performed your search and
displayed a list of documents that met your criteria. The number of documents
that were found is displayed at the bottom of the list. By default, the server
will limit the number of documents returned from a search to the Max. Results
Per Query value in your Options settings. If more documents exist, a More
Available link is provided. Simply click on the More Available text to display
the next group of documents that met your criteria.
Your search results include all of the document index fields for the documents
that PaperVision located.
To easily locate a document in a large results list, you can re-sort columns in
both ascending and descending order by clicking on the column header. Once
the results are re-sorted in ascending order, you can click the column header
again to have that column re-sorted in descending order.
You can also resize columns by resizing the column header. Furthermore, you
can reorder columns by clicking on a column and dragging it to the desired
location.
In addition to selecting a document to view, there are a number of operations
that can be performed from the Search Results screen, including altering
document index values, deleting, printing, emailing, exporting, migrating,
adding new documents, and applying document-level security. Access to the
specific operations is controlled by your administrator.
Please note that the More Available link and document operations are not
available for Global search results. You can, however, view documents from
the global search results.

Tagging Documents for Migration
PaperVision offers unique functionality to facilitate collection of documents
from your repository into external data groups (CD-ROMs, etc.). This
becomes particularly useful in applications where specific sets of data are
required to give to an end-user (i.e. legal projects where an attorney wishes to
extract information about a specific case and have it placed on a CD-ROM to
take to trial).
Migrating information requires three simple steps:
1. User tags the documents that they wish to migrate.
2. User submits the migration job.
3. Administrator performs the migration process.
To tag documents for migration:

Data Groups
A data group is a set of documents and their index values. A data group may
contain one document or it may contain thousands of documents; and, those
documents may be grouped into either one or many projects. PaperVision
supports importing data groups from a number of different sources:
•
Digitech’s PaperFlow™ Image Data Group Format
•
Digitech’s DataFlow™ COLD/ERM Data Group Format
•
Digitech’s PaperVision Enterprise Report Management (PVERM)

•

Other than C.A.R. and XML formatted data groups, all other data groups are

Chapter 8 – System Administration
C.A.R. Data Groups
Computer Aided Retrieval (C.A.R.) allows users to search through both filmbased images as well as digital documents located in data groups. When a
user selects a document that is located on film, they are alerted that the
document is on film and they are given the roll and frame number in which
they can locate the desired image.
PaperVision imports C.A.R. files which are “Pipe-Delimited Text Files”.
These text files contain the index information as well as the roll and frame
number on which to locate a document. Below is a sample C.A.R. File which
can be loaded into PaperVision:
[CAR]
DGNAME=99990001
DEPTNAME=ABC Corporation
PROJNAME=Accounts Payable
ACME CORP.|12/31/98|19421|1
B SQUARE|12/30/98|19421|4
The first four lines of the C.A.R. file should always be formatted as shown.
The “DGNAME” value specifies the unique identifier given to this C.A.R.
data group. No other C.A.R. data group should ever have the same
“DGNAME” value unless you are adding data to an existing one. The
“DEPTNAME” value should contain the department or company name that
the data group belongs to. The “PROJNAME” field contains the name of an
existing project in PaperVision into which the documents will be imported.
Unlike all of the other import data group formats supported by PaperVision,
C.A.R. data groups are the only type that require the project already be
specified. PaperVision will import the index field data based on the order of
the index fields.
Note: the index fields are given, followed by a roll number, then a frame
number. You must supply all index fields defined in a project. If specific
information for a field is not available, the value can be left blank, but be sure
to leave a placeholder for the information.

XML Data Groups
PaperVision supports importing XML-formatted data groups. This allows any
application capable of creating XML files to be able to import documents of
any type (images, MS Word, PDF files, etc.) into PaperVision. The format
required for an XML data group is specified in the DATAGRP Format.XML
file located in C:\Program Files\Digitech Systems\PaperVision\Docs
directory.
Importing a Data Group
Importing a data group is an extremely easy process. With the exception of
C.A.R. data groups, when a data group is imported, PaperVision checks to see
if the necessary projects already exist and, if not, creates them. It then
compares the names of the index fields in the data group with the names of the
fields in the existing PaperVision project. Below is an example of how this is
handled:
Existing PaperVision Project Fields:
•
Account Number
•
Customer Name
•
Invoice Date
Imported Data Group Fields:
•
Customer Name: Will be populated into the second index field in the
existing project “Customer Name”.
•
Account Number: Will be populated into the first index field in the
existing project “Account Number”.
•
PO Number: Since this field does not exist (but could be added
manually) in the existing project, it will be ignored.
Since the data group does not contain an “Invoice Date” field, it will be
populated with an invoice date value of [Blank].

Migration Jobs
PaperVision offers unique functionality to facilitate collection of documents
from your repository into external data groups (CD-ROMs, etc.). This
becomes particularly useful in applications where specific sets of data are
required to give to an end-user (i.e. legal projects where an attorney wishes to
extract information about a specific case and have it placed on a CD-ROM to
take to trial).
Migrating information requires three simple steps:
1. User tags the documents that they wish to migrate.
2. User submits the migration job.
3. Performing the migration process.
Once the user has submitted their migration job, the administrator must run
the job to extract the selected/tagged documents and copy them to a location
which can be burned onto CD-ROM or copied onto some other media. The
extracted information is formatted into a standard PaperFlow™ data group. As
such, COLD/ERM documents and C.A.R. references are not supported for
migration. Migration jobs do NOT export document annotations.
During the migration process, if any errors occur when locating document
files, the errors are written to a “Migration Errors X.txt” file in the data
group’s directory.

Auto-Import Paths
PaperVision Xpress offers the ability to have data automatically imported (see
System Settings later in this chapter for more information on how to enable
this). This can be used to import data groups that are live (are being processed
by another application) or data groups that have been copied (or FTP’ed) to a
location that the application is monitoring. When monitored import paths are
being used, PaperVision looks for the existence of one of the following files in
a monitored import path:
•
DATAGRP.MDB (for PaperFlow data groups)
•
COLDGRP.DAT (for DataFlow data groups)
•
CDSTAMP.MDB (for Docu-ROM data groups)
•
PROJECT.MDB (for ScanTRAX data groups)
•
CARFILE.TXT (for C.A.R. data)
•
DATAGRP.XML (for XML data groups)
•
ERMGROUP.XML (for Report Management data groups)
•
MSGGROUP.XML (for Message Capture data groups)
•
*.PVPKG (for PaperVision Package Files)
The file need not exist in the root of the monitored import path. In fact, it can
be placed at ANY DEPTH below the monitored import path. If one of these
files exists, PaperVision will begin importing the data group. For this reason,
it is recommended that these files be copied (or FTP’ed, etc.) absolutely last,
rather than copying the data group file and then all of the supporting image or
document files. Furthermore, you will need to take care that the application
doesn’t begin to import a data group before the file is completely transmitted.
For instance, if you are FTP’ing the data group to a monitored import path,
you should send all of the supporting image and document files, then send the
file – but name it something else (i.e. DATAGRP.TMP). After the file is
completely transferred, rename the DATAGRP.TMP file back to its original
name. At this point the application will start to process the new data group.
PaperVision provides an easy way around this issue for automated imports of
XML data groups, Report Management Data Groups, and PaperVision
Package Files. When it locates one of these data groups, it checks to see if a
SUBMIT file also exists in the directory (DATAGRP.SUBMIT,
ERMGROUP.SUBMIT, MSGGROUP.SUBMIT,
<packagefilename>.SUBMIT). If not, it leaves that data group unprocessed
until the SUBMIT file has been copied or created in the same directory as the
data group file. The contents of the SUBMIT file are not important – in fact, it
can be an empty file.

A Project is a logical grouping of documents based on a common indexing
schema. When a data group is imported and the project referenced in the data
group does not exist, the project is automatically created. Additionally,
projects can be manually created. Projects support up to 200 named index
fields per document. It is important to note that Microsoft SQL Server only
supports maximum row sizes of 8060 bytes (characters). If the length of all of
the index field data for any given document exceeds 8060 characters, SQL
Server will not accept it and will raise an error.

Document Security Levels
PaperVision provides extensive security measures beyond the project-level
security access rights presented earlier in this chapter. Project security access
rights provide functionality-based security at the project level. Users are
granted (or denied) access to specific projects and functionality within those
projects. Document security, on the other hand, provides much more finegrained tuning of the security all the way down to the individual document
level.
Document security is performed in two steps. First, security levels are
defined. Second, those security levels are applied to documents. When one
(or many) security level is applied to a document, that document is no longer
accessible to all users with security access to the project. Instead, the users
must also have access to at least one of the document security levels assigned
to the document. A document can have an unlimited number of document
security levels assigned to it.
Applying document security levels is accomplished in any one of three
manners:
•
As documents are imported (or added), if any Criteria has been
defined, PaperVision will automatically apply the document security
levels whose criteria matches the document’s index values.
•
Document security levels can be applied in bulk to all of the existing
documents. Any document that meets a level’s Criteria will have the
level assigned to it.
•
Document security levels can be applied manually. Administrators can
search for documents, select specific documents, and then apply or
remove specific security levels.
Administrators can easily detect documents that have been assigned document
security levels by the fact that they are listed in red in the search results list.
One of the many benefits that document security levels can provide is the
ability to provide access to users to only specific documents. In order to
accomplish this, the administrator needs to create a generic “global” document
security level which locks down all of the documents. Then they can create
individual document security levels and grant users access to those levels they
need access to.
