Title
LASERFICHE PLUG INS, UTILITIES & TOOLS. MCCi can provide additional Laserfiche Plug-ins
Utilities, & Tools software. Laserfiche offers a selection of add-ons and development tools designed to
let you tailor Laserfiche to meet your needs.
Cauture Plug Ins:
• Laserfiche Import AgentTM automates document importing and document management within
Laserfiche, particularly well-suited to work with multi-function peripherals
• Laserfiche ScanConnectTM Laserfiche ScanConnect allows ISIS scanning. A collection of ISIS
scanner drivers is included with Laserfiche ScanConnect. These drivers allow images to be scanned
through supported scanners. ScanConnect 7.x is can be purchased as an add-on to both Laserfiche
scanning and Quick Fields.
• Laserfiche SnapshotTM Laserfiche Snapshot can generate images and text from an electronic file (e.g.
a Word document, a web page, a text editor, etc.). The files generated by Laserfiche Snapshot capture
the content of the electronic file at the time that it was processed. In other words, they represent an
accurate portrayal of an electronic file at a given point in time. The images and text created from an
electronic file are then stored in a Laserfiche repository. As you can see, Laserfiche Snapshot can be
used as a tool to archive a particular version of an electronic file. Laserfiche Snapshot can process any
electronic file that can be opened with a Windows application that has printing capabilities.
Distribution Plug Ins
Laserfiche WebLinkTM The WebLink module publishes select documents in a Laserfiche repository to
an Intranet or the Internet in read-only form. Documents can be made available through the Web
almost instantly, and users need only an Internet browser in order to access them. Built on ASP .NET,
WebLink can be customized to match the look and feel of an organization's Internet or Intranet site.
• Laserfiche WebAccess Laserfiche Web Access is a Web browser-based thin client offering virtually
all of the document management capabilities of the standard Laserfiche interface. Web Access allows
your IT staff to roll out high-volume Laserfiche access without increasing your organization's
application support burden. Authorized users organization-wide enjoy simultaneous access to
documents, whether they are using the corporate Intranet or logging in from a branch office.
• Laserfiche PIusTM Laserfiche Plus allows the information stored in a Laserfiche repository to be
portable. Laserfiche documents published by Laserfiche Plus can be viewed by anybody, regardless of
whether they have Laserfiche instal led. [f these portable Laserfiche docwnents are sent to a company or
site that already has Laserfiche installed, then that organization can also choose to attach those
documents to their repository. This software prepares a copy of the Laserfiche files (images, text,
electronic files, annotations, templates and field data) for burning directly to your removable media or
to a temporary directory. Choosing to publish to a temporary directory allows you to write it to your
removable media at your convenience.
• Laserfiche E-Mail Plug-inTM allows instant electronic document distribution via standard MAPI-
compliant e-mail applications.
Workflow& Process Automation
• Laserfiche Workflow: Efficiency and accountability-enhancing document routing, e-mail notification
and audit trail reporting.
• Laserfiche Audit Trail Modules: Three levels of audit reporting to address your specific regulatory
compliance and security needs.
• LF Audit Trail -Starter: This edition tracks who accesses data in the repository, as well as changes
made to the repository. Users can then generate reports on the life-cycle of documents, and who has
accessed them.
• LF Audit Trail -Standard: Sites with a larger amount of activity in their repository can use this
edition to set up event logging according to individual users. This allows a more finely grained auditing
configuration that tracks only the data that a particular customer needs. Standard features the tracking of
failed attempts to change content in the repository, giving more insight into user activities. All the
functionality of the Starter edition is also included.
• LF Audit Trail -Advanced: Customers operating in the most demanding regulatory environments
find this version ideally suited to their needs. Besides doing everything that the other two versions do, it
also tracks changes in security settings, so not only what a user is looking at or changing is tracked, but
who gave them the right to do so. Searches are also tracked. For additional document security, with this
edition users can be required to submit reasons for printing and exporting documents. Administrators
can force printed documents to have Watermarks applied to them.
Batch Processing
• Laserfiche Quick FieldsTM automates document sorting and indexing for reduced data entry costs
and manual indexing errors. Laserfiche Quick Fields is a collection of image processing and
enhancement tools wrapped in an elegant and intuitive interface. We call Quick Fields a document
capture platform because it is so much more than just an offline scanning tool. Because Quick Fields
was developed specifically for Laserfiche document imaging and management solutions, it offers a
unique functionality set designed to simplify automated capture and classification of documents. In
addition to working with most production level scanners, Quick Fields supports the Universal Capture
plug-in and includes a powerful tool called the Laserfiche Capture Engine. The basic premise of the
Laserfiche Capture Engine is to provide the ability to "scan" documents into Quick Fields from a
Laserfiche repository. This fairly simple idea is extremely powerful because it eliminates dependence
on traditional scanners in order to take advantage of automated image processing technology. With
Quick Fields, it does not matter how an organization images their documents. They could be scanned
through a networked copier/scanner, automatically imported from a fax server or converted from an
electronic format through Snapshot, and Quick Fields will process them as if they were scanned in
directly.
• Pattern Matching: The Pattern Matching add-on looks for a specified pattern within auser-defined
value. This process can be used to identify a document, validate data, or to save the matching data
along with a document. The pattern that will be searched for is defined by the user through
predefined criteria (regular expressions). A regular expression looks for a certain pattern in a string. It
can then use this pattern to look for a character or a set of characters.
• QF Real-time look up: look up and extract data from a 3`d party database, verify values extracted
from an image matched values in the 3`d party database
• QF Zone OCR: Images that contain clearly printed or typed information can be converted to text
files through a process called OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Once text has been extracted
from an image, it can be sent along with the image to the repository. Once the document has been
imported into the repository, the extracted text will be associated with the corresponding image in the
document. The International Zone OCR add-on will scan a zone on an image for text. Only text
found within the zone will be extracted. The data returned by this process can be used to identify a
page, populate a field, determine the document name, or determine where the document will be
stored. The International Zone OCR add-on can be installed when Quick Fields is first installed or
after it has already been installed.
• Laserfiche Import Agent: Laserfiche Import Agent is a capture tool that can bring files into a
Laserfiche repository from the Windows file system. Any file that can be stored in Laserfiche can
also be imported via Import Agent. What's more, Import Agent allows for scheduled and selective
imports, so that users can set up specific criteria for what gets imported when. Import Agent can
create fully OCRed and indexed documents, complete with template information and filed in the
repository.
• QF Bar Code Recognition: The Bar Code add-on reads bar codes on a specified page in the
document. The value returned by the bar code process can be used to identify a page, populate a field,
determine the document name, or determine where the document will be stored. Bar Code is very
powerful when combined with Real Time Lookup. Supported barcode formats: Codabar, CODE 39,
CODE 128, EAN 8, EAN 13, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPCA, and UPCE.
• QF Quick Forms: permits multiple document classification, as well as include advanced capabilities
such as form recognition, form registration, form removal and optical mark recognition.
• QF Document Classification: designed for clients who deal with multiple forms, and will recognize
and process multiple document types.
• QF Annotation/Bates Numbering: The Bates stamp option is a document auto-numbering
annotation option.
• Forms Processing: The Forms Processing add-on consists of four processes, which are Laserfiche
Form Extractor, Form Identification, Laserfiche Form Registration, and Laserfiche Optical Mark
Recognition (OMR). Form Extractor removes the layout from an image and leaves data in a region
specified on the page. Form Identification identifies images according to the layout of the page. Form
Registration aligns images to match the layout of the form. OMR detects whether a region has been
marked by comparing it with the same region on a master form. This add-on can only process or
recognize forms when processing black & white images. Additional information is available.
Integration
• DataNow Affinity Integration: DataNow Affinity brings the power of Laserfiche document
management to the applications you use most. Document searches can be reduced to a single click of a
button. New documents can be added to your Laserfiche repository without manually entering template
field values, file names, or folder locations. Affinity truly makes Laserfiche feel like part of your
business software.
