  • The OCR feature also stores the contents of the document for keyword searching.
  • The bank statement recognition feature identifies the bank account number from bank statements, cross references the number with the bank account details stored in the system to identify the correct record to store the statement to.
• MS Office Integration
  

  Integration with MS Word, Excel, Outlook and Explorer Advanced MS Outlook integration including email generation Integration with Lotus Notes Integration with Groupwise

  

  • ViewPoint Document Manager has direct tool bar add-in integration with Microsoft Word, Excel, Explorer and further advanced integration with Microsoft Outlook.
  • The Outlook advanced integration is used to create emails from Document Manager drawing on the contact details held within the core ViewPoint database for recipient information. It includes advanced options for storing emails with single and multiple attachments.
  • Similar integration options as available within Outlook are available for Lotus Notes and GroupWise

  • In addition to the search criteria the OCR feature recognises the contents of the selected document formats so that the content can be subsequently searched. This searching includes ‘wild card’ searching for partial words or words of which the spelling is uncertain.
  • For ease of use and efficiency, search results can be instantly previewed and the index data reviewed without actually opening the stored object.
  • Selected search results can be instantly attached to an email, or if multiple attachments are required, search results can be stored in an ‘email bin’ pending attachment to email.
  • The integration between Document Manager and the other ViewPoint modules gives Document Manager the unique ability to display the names and email addresses of every person linked to a selected record e.g. users, clients, accountants, bankers, officers, shareholders, etc. This enables the emails with the correct recipient details to be automatically created from the Document Manager module.
