Excerpt

asdfWhen clicking on the Queues-menu item within the Administration-menu you’ll see an overview of all defined scan queues.

A scan queue is used in order to route a scan process to a certain destination directory. In most cases this directory is being monitored by a KGS DocumentRouter-instance for further processing (e.g.: archiving and uploading a barcode directly to an SAP system).

When opening the Queues-menu, you’ll see a list of all existing scan queues, which have been defined on this scan server.

In case that the queue has already been used by a scan profile in order to export one or more batches to it, the Queue Remove-modal will enforce that you select another queue from the Choose another Queue-list. This makes sure, that no scan profile will show errors after a scan queue has been deleted.

Please note: The version number of the scan groups in which the scan profiles exist will be incremented in order to make sure, that each scan client will download the scan groups again.
