Option name | Type | Description | Possible Values |
|---|---|---|---|
Import Path | Text | Defines the root directory from which KGS Scan tries to acquire files. | Every path accessible from your workstation |
import recursively | Checkbox | When being checked every subfolder is being searched recursively for corresponding files. | Ticked / Unticked |
delete file after import | Checkbox | Enabling this option will lead to the deletion of the documents that have been imported successfully. Please note: The source documents will be deleted fully and irrevocably, even if no export has taken place! | Ticked / Unticked |
specify folder while scan | Checkbox | If you enable this option, a dialog listing all subfolders contained within the root directory will be shown right before the scanning process.
