GoFileRoom ScanFlow (Part of the GoFileRoom Add-In)

GoFileRoom ScanFlow allows you to do the following:
  • Scan multiple documents to GoFileRoom as a single batch.
  • Recognize and process GoFileRoom barcode cover sheets.
  • Recognize and process GoFileRoom bookmark separator sheets.
  • Delete blank back pages when scanning in duplex mode.
  • Recognize TaxSort barcodes.

Before you install

In addition to the system requirements, you'll need to do the following:
  • Make sure all network users are members of the Scan Operators.
  • Install and configure the Upload Documents Service.
  • Determine how you've installed the Upload Documents Service. For example, is it installed locally, on each workstation where ScanFlow is installed, or on a shared server.
  • Verify Adobe Acrobat is installed and Adobe Reader is not installed. If it is, uninstall Reader.
  • In Acrobat, go to
    Help
     and select
    Repair Installation
    . Follow the prompts to re-assign file types for Acrobat to use.
  • Make sure all software and drivers for your scanner are installed and restart the workstation.
  • Create a custom profile for VRS features using the specifications provided by your scanner.
  • Make sure Adobe Acrobat is closed before you start installing ScanFlow.
  • You're signed in as an Administrator. 

Install and configure

To install ScanFlow, sign in to GoFileRoom, select your name, then download the GoFileRoom Add-In. Once you've finished the install, you'll need to install a separate license.
  1. Go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\GoFileRoom\GFRScanFlow
    .
  2. Run the
    License.exe
     file as an administrator.
    note
    Select
    Shared ScanFlow workstation
     if the PC is a shared workstation that multiple staff use to scan documents. Selecting this option will assure that GoFileRoom is signed out after each use.
  3. Enter your firm's ScanFlow license information, and select
    OK
    .
note
We recommend you track which workstations have ScanFlow licenses installed. This can help if you ever need to refresh a license. To find the license, enter
ScanFlow
 in the search field next to the Windows Start button.
The Upload Documents Service is what transfers your scanned documents to GoFileRoom, so you'll need to make sure ScanFlow is configured to work properly with that service.
note
For this to work properly, you'll need to make sure you've configured the Upload Documents Service on any machines it's installed on.
  1. In the computer where you installed ScanFlow, go to
    C:\ProgramData\GoFileRoom\GFRScanFlow
    . You may need to show hidden files and folders to get here.
  2. Open the
    GFRScanFlow.ini
     file in Notepad.
  3. Enter the universal naming convention (UNC) path to the shared UploadDocuments folder on the server in the
    "PathtoSaveDocuments="
     line.
    note
    Your path should look something like this:
    \\<ComputerName>\<path>\<SharedFolder>
    , where<ComputerName> is the computer or server where you installed the Upload Document service, and <SharedFolder>is the path to the folder you shared the Upload Document service. For example: \\Server\Program Files (x86)\GoFileRoom\GFRUploadDocuments\UploadDocuments.
  4. Save and close the file.

Test ScanFlow

  1. Print two or three barcode cover sheets.
  2. Place the barcode cover sheets on a collection of pages in which you include deliberate errors for ScanFlow to correct, such as upside down pages, backwards pages, blank pages, and so on.
  3. Run through the scanning process using the test documents that you've prepared to verify that the process works without issues.
