Chapter 1 - Welcome to PaperVision® Enterprise
Any document. Anywhere. Anytime.
As the amount of recorded information increases, businesses struggle to manage content. Digitech
Systems enables businesses of any size to more effectively and securely manage, retrieve, and store
corporate information of any kind, including electronic files, paper documents, images, print streams, and
email.
Through our Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems, PaperVision Enterprise and ImageSilo®,
Digitech Systems enables businesses to reduce document-management costs, enhance information
security and compliance with regulations, and improve process efficiency. With software and services
that deliver any document, anywhere, anytime, organizations create a sustainable competitive
advantage.
We take pride in offering software that is easy to use, feature rich, and exceptionally flexible in both
architecture and integration options. All Digitech Systems products easily scale to meet the needs of very
large organizations and single desktop installations. Integration with Microsoft ® Office products is
included, and additional integrations are available for virtually any Windows ® application.
Organizations can store their information on premises and access it internally with PaperVision
Enterprise, or they can outsource their ECM system and access information anywhere, anytime over the
Internet with ImageSilo, the on-demand system from Digitech Systems. Alternatively, both ImageSilo and
PaperVision Enterprise can work together seamlessly as a hybrid system to meet a variety of business
needs.
Key Features
ImageSilo offers 24/7 online data access without requiring that you make additional investments in
hardware, software, or IT personnel. This massive on-demand service securely delivers data to any
Internet-accessible computer, anywhere in the world, at any time. ImageSilo is powered by PaperVision
Enterprise, so it inherits all the same security, collaboration, efficiency, and reporting tools.
As an outsourced ECM system, ImageSilo automatically scales to meet growing data-storage needs, and
provides extensive physical and electronic safeguards to protect the system from interruption. Digitech
Systems' engineers maintain, monitor, and manage all the software, servers, and storage. Multiple
redundant systems mitigate the potential for hardware failures affecting information availability.
PaperVision Enterprise allows organizations to securely protect and access information of any kind; the
system supports the storage of more than 250 file types in their native formats. Extensive security
configurations, optional encryption, and audit tracking and reporting keep administrators informed of system
activity and give assurance that information is safely protected.
Using the solution's desktop and browser-based installation options, organizations can design a system
that fits their environment and needs. Architectural flexibility allows the system to scale to meet the
demands of any size business.
Powerful check-in/check-out and version controls combined with intelligent search options that locate
documents by index value, keyword or phrase within full text enable organizations to efficiently manage
their business and save time.

PaperVision Enterprise Terminology
To fully understand PaperVision Enterprise, the following key terms are used throughout the application:
Entity
An entity is a corporation or organization. Each entity is autonomous and administers its own projects,
users, groups, workflows, and security policies. An entity never shares elements with other entities, and
you cannot switch between entity
In general, most users (including users at large enterprise installations) use only a single entity. Only a
few special circumstances require more than one entity. For example, you might see more than one entity
in a hosting environment in which an application service provider (ASP) is hosting data for multiple
companies and each company will administrate itself and its users. The Digitech Systems ImageSilo
service is a good example of an ASP that hosts multiple entities. You might also see more than one entity
in a large enterprise made up of different departments that require the ability to administrate themselves
separately from other departments without needing to involve a central IT organization.
Depending on your configuration, you might be required to log in to your entity from the same computer
or network each time.
Entity ID
An entity ID is a unique number that identifies each entity. Each entity is autonomous; you cannot change
your entity ID after you log in and cannot work across entities.
Project
A project is a logical grouping of documents based on a common indexing schema. For example, ABC
Company has three projects: Human Resources, Accounts Receivable, and Sales.
•
The Human Resources project contains Human Resources records, such as employee records and
health insurance information.
•
The Accounts Receivable project contains billing, purchase order, and invoice information.
•
The Sales project contains prospect and client information.
Each of these projects is a separate logical grouping within the ABC Company entity. Projects support up
to 200 named index fields. Project names must be unique within an entity, but you can create an
unlimited number of projects.
Data Groups
A data group is a set of documents and their index values. A data group can contain one or many
documents, and those documents can be grouped into one or many projects. A data group holds
information for only a single client, but it can contain an unlimited number of projects. Typically, a data
group only contains documents for one project, as this makes organization easier.
Detail Sets
Detail sets (also referred to as "duplicate documents") define a collection of index values that allow
multiple sets of field data to reference a single document. If documents with detail sets appear in a
search results screen in the PaperVision Enterprise Web Client, they display with a plus sign, allowing
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
2
Chapter 1 - Welcome to PaperVision® Enterprise
you to expand all documents contained in the detail set. Detail sets can be created in PaperFlow,
PaperVisionCapture, PaperVisionMessage Manager, and PaperVision Enterprise Report Management.
The example below illustrates a search results screen with detail sets that have been expanded to show
the documents' related Check Number, Check Date, and Payee index values. The Invoice Number and
Invoice Date detail sets vary across documents.
Detail Sets
Index Values
Document index fields contain values that enable you to identify key elements of documents within a
project during the capture process. You then use these index field values to search for and retrieve
documents in retrieval programs such as PaperVision Enterprise. When you enter an index value to
perform a search for a document, the application compares the value you entered against your database
tables and retrieves documents that meet your specific criteria.
Documents
Documents contain the individual pages or images for a given set of index values. When document
grouping is enabled in, System Settings > User Options, documents are grouped per page results. The
default number of results that will display is 100 in PaperVision Enterprise.
System Requirements
The following table outlines the recommended minimum requirements for the operating system, the
browser, and monitor resolution for end-users operating PaperVision Enterprise. If any of the
recommended minimum system requirements are not met, please contact your company's system
administrator for proper installation and configuration.

Minimum Requirements for Hardware and Virtual Hardware
Gone are the days of "minimum hardware configurations" as most enterprise software is capable of
operating to a degree on practically any hardware capable of running the operating system in a usable
manner. Under most circumstances, the most basic of configurations of hardware that can be purchased
today (i.e. a current processor and 4 GB of memory for desktops and 8 GB of memory for servers) will be
plenty to run your PaperVision software.
However, each organization and their intended use of PaperVision is unique. Your intended workload
(max number of users, quantity and types of operations performed within a specific periodicity, etc.),
coupled with your security and redundancy requirements, will dictate the hardware requirements for your
implementation. PaperVision enjoys the distinct capability of being able to scale both up and out. By that,
we mean that most, if not all of the functions performed by PaperVision can be configured to take
advantage of immensely powerful hardware configurations, such as those with many processor cores and
dozens or hundreds of GB of memory (scaling up). Additionally, PaperVision was also designed to be
able to spread its processing requirements across numerous computers (scaling out).
PaperVision products are designed and tested for specific operating systems, not hardware
environments. We have numerous customers that successfully run PaperVision in virtual environments,
including VMWare and Microsoft’s Hyper-V. While this technology has come a long way over the years,
we have seen issues with common software (other than PaperVision) not operating properly or efficiently
because of the virtual environment. In those cases that we have witnessed, the issue was with the virtual
environment, not the software product. If our technical support believes that the hardware environment
(including a virtual hardware environment) is contributing to an operational or performance issue, they
may request that you assess that the issue under a different (or non-virtual ) environment.
If you do intend to use a virtual environment for your PaperVision implementation, be sure to carefully
consider the implications of running in a shared environment. Remember, you are not just sharing
processors and memory; you are also sharing network and disk resources with the other virtual
environments on the same hardware.
Supported Users
PaperVision Enterprise supports the following types of users:
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide

Chapter 1 - Welcome to PaperVision® Enterprise
Users (End Users)
By default, end users have no rights until an administrator explicitly grants them access to projects or
functionality.
Global Administrators
Global administrators can control every aspect of configuration for the PaperVision Enterprise system,
including configurations for all entities. However, they cannot access the documents in a project, as a
system (entity) administrator can. Global administration is only performed in the PaperVision Enterprise
Administration Console application.
System Administrators
System administrators are entity administrators. They can administrate a single entity and have access to
all functionality in all projects for that entity. However, system administrators cannot assign the entity's
data group, full-text, migration and batch paths, for example, that a global administrator can assign.
Workflow Administrators
Workflow administrators are able to design and configure workflows within an entity. They can configure
workflow definitions for any project and view workflow history and workflow status reports, but they have
no access to documents or functions in any projects unless a system administrator explicitly grants them
access. If they do have access to view documents within a project, workflow administrators can create
workflow instances for a particular document and view its workflow status.
Capture Administrators
Capture administrators can define Capture Jobs for use with the PaperVision Capture product. Capture
administrators have no administrative capabilities in PaperVision Enterprise.

Chapter 2 - Getting Started
This topic describes the screens, links, and tabs found in PaperVision Enterprise.
Additionally, PaperVision Enterprise terminology, security features, and links and
directories found in the application are summarized.
Note: If your session times out and you log in again, the application retains the most recent page you
accessed. The amount of time allotted before your session times out depends on the system
administrator's settings that have been assigned.
General Security Features
To grant autonomous security, data is separated into entities, each of which is defined by a specific entity
ID. The robust security architecture in PaperVision Enterprise grants control of nearly every aspect of
your entity's access to an entity administrator, who configures the entity's permissions and projects.
After setting up an entity's users and groups (including user and group access to specific functionality),
the administrator configures the entity's general security properties and defines all project- and
document-level security definitions from within the project configuration.
Entry-Level Security
PaperVision’s entity-level security policies grant entity administrators the ability to define entity-wide
security settings. Administrators can define general system settings, account lockout settings, login
restriction settings, and password settings.
User-Level and Group-Level Security
User- and group-level security defines which projects or documents users can view and the functionality
that is available (for example, whether users can print or email a document). Additionally, administrators
can limit which fields can be searched, viewed, and altered.
Note: Before configuring project- and document-level security definitions, it is first required that
administrators define system users and groups.
PaperVision Enterprise supports the following types of users:
•
Users (end users), by default ,have no permissions until an administrator explicitly grants them access
to projects or functionality.
•
System administrators are entity administrators. They can administrate a single entity and have
access to all functionality in all projects for that entity. However, system administrators cannot assign
the entity's data group, full-text, and migration and batch paths, for example, that a global administrator
can assign.
•
Workflow administrators are able to design and configure workflows within an entity. They can
configure workflow definitions for any project and view workflow history and workflow status reports, but
they have no access to documents or functions in any projects unless a system administrator explicitly
grants them access. If they do have access to view documents within a project, workflow administrators
can create workflow instances for a particular document and view its workflow status.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
11
Chapter 2 - Getting Started
•
Global administrators can control every aspect of configuration for the PaperVision Enterprise
system, including configurations for all entities. However, they cannot access the documents in a
project, as an entity system administrator can.
•
Capture administrators can define Capture Jobs for use with the PaperVision Capture product.
Capture administrators have no administrative capabilities in PaperVision Enterprise.
If users require similar permissions, administrators can assign them to groups and then assign a common
set of permissions to those users at once. For example, if you are on an accounting team with five other
people and all of you require the same type of access to a project, your administrator can create an
accounting group with specific permissions and assign everyone on your team to that group.
Workflow administrators use groups to assign tasks during workflow design. For example, your workflow
administrator can assign tasks to your accounting group, and anyone from your team can complete the
task.
One of the most important concepts about permissions is that your rights are accumulative. If you lack
access to a function on the user level, but you are assigned to a group that has been granted a higher
level of permissions than you were granted as an individual user, you acquire all permissions assigned to
that group. Conversely, if you are a member of a group with a higher level of permissions as an individual
user, you possess those higher-level permissions.
Project-Level Security
Administrators define project-level security. Project-level security permissions provide functionality-based
security at the project level, and administrators grant or deny users access to specific projects and
functionality within those projects.
Document-Level Security
Administrators define document-level security from within projects. Document-level security provides
more fine-grained settings than project-level security, enabling administrators to define users' security
access to individual documents. For example, document-level security can restrict access to certain
people based on date ranges or invoice amount ranges.
Field-Level Security
These security rights define user access to specific fields within documents. For example, certain users
or groups might be restricted from viewing document fields that contain social security numbers.
PaperVision Enterprise Links and Directories
After a successful login to an entity, the following directories and links appear in the initial page. Some of
these items may not be available, depending on your permissions granted by your administrator.

Available Projects
The Available Projects directory holds all of the available projects assigned by the administrator. The
system displays the Add and Scan icons as well as the Project Search page. Access to all projects in
an entity is defined by function-level, user-level, group-level, document-level, and field-level security
rights, and only an administrator can create or delete projects.
Searching Capabilities
The search capabilities in PaperVision Enterprise allow you to perform detailed or broad document
searches within a project or across multiple projects that have multiple index field values in common. You
can also perform limiting searches on dates and numbers that allow you to specify ranges of values.
Within seconds, the server performs your search and displays a list of documents that meet your criteria.
For the system to include documents among your search results, you must have been granted documentlevel security access to those documents. The number of documents that meet your criteria displays at
the top of the list. If no documents meet the criteria you enter, the system displays a notification.
Your search results display in the sort order you designate in the Sort By field on the project search page
and in the order and grouping you specified in your user option settings found in System Settings >
Options. The number of results the system displays per page is limited to the number of documents you
specified in the Max. Results Per Query field on the user options page.

General Search Criteria
PaperVision Enterprise provides flexible searching features to enable fast and accurate document
retrieval. To maximize your search results, you can follow the following general searching rules:
•
You can specify the number of documents to return in a single query through settings in System
Settings > Options.
•
All numeric and date fields allow you to perform "limiting searches" to limit the results to a specific
range of values. If both range limits are not filled for a particular index field, the system will search for
the value that you entered.
•
Index field searches are not case sensitive (e.g., a search for "smith" will find "Smith").
•
PaperVision Enterprise allows you to utilize the asterisk "*" wildcard to specify any number of unknown
characters. For example, searching for "T*" in a name field would locate any document that had a
name beginning with the letter "T". Furthermore, searching for "*T*" would locate any document that
included a letter "T" anywhere in the name. Finally, searching for "*T" would locate any document
whose name ended with the letter "T".
•
PaperVision Enterprise allows you to utilize the underscore "_" wildcard to specify a single unknown
character. For example, searching for "S_N" would locate "SON", but it would not locate "SOON".
Additionally searching for "_*" would locate any non-blank value.
•
PaperVision Enterprise allows you to search for a single character within a range or list by using the
bracket "[ ]" characters. For example, searching for "A[456]TEST" would locate "A4TEST, A5TEST, and
A6TEST". The same result occurs from searching for "A[4-6]TEST". You can also utilize letters within
the brackets to search for a range or list of letters (e.g., [a-f]).
•
You can perform multiple searches within a single index field by using and "&" and/or "^" operators. To
perform a search on a name field for names that begin with an "A" or "Z", you could simply enter
"A*^Z*". To perform a search on a name field for names that begin with "A" and end with "P", you could
enter "A*P".
•
To search for a document whose index field contains an ampersand, simply use two ampersands in
your search. For example, to find "Johnson & Johnson", you would search for "Johnson && Johnson".
•
You can perform searches on multiple fields at once. Simply enter the search criteria into the desired
fields and select the appropriate search type. "And" finds documents where all criteria have been met.
"Or" finds documents where any of the criteria has been met.
•
You can enter the [CURRENTDATETIME] tag as general search criteria to represent the current date
and time that the search is run. This is particularly useful in situations where documents need to be
identified that are of a certain age. A specified number of years (Y), months (M), days (D), hours (H),
minutes (N), or seconds (S) can be added to or subtracted from the current date and time. Possible
uses for the [CURRENTDATETIME] tag are as follows:
•
[CURRENTDATETIME] = Current Date/Time
•
•
[CURRENTDATETIME+1Y] = Current Date/Time plus 1 year
[CURRENTDATETIME-12M] = Current Date/Time minus 12 months
•
•
•
•
[CURRENTDATETIME+2D] = Current Date/Time plus 2 days
[CURRENTDATETIME-96H] = Current Date/Time minus 96 hours
[CURRENTDATETIME+900N] = Current Date/Time plus 900 minutes
[CURRENTDATETIME+120S] = Current Date/Time plus 120 seconds
Note: Long text fields cannot be sorted.

Document Indexing
The following information explains how the application employs document indexing. Document index
fields contain values that enable the identification of documents' key elements within a project during the
capture process. These index field values are used to search for and retrieve documents in PaperVision
Enterprise. When you enter an index value to perform a search for a document, the application compares
the value you entered against your database table and retrieves documents that meet your specific
criteria.
PaperVision Enterprise supports eight types of index fields, and each document can contain up to 200
named index fields:
•
Boolean: Stores values such as yes/no, on/off, and true/false.
•
Currency: Stores currency (monetary) values.
•
Date: Stores date/time values between January 1, 1753 and December 31, 9999; this type of index
field supports searches on date ranges.
•
Double Number: Stores numbers that require decimal places or exceed the limitations of a Number
field; the format this number is saved in is defined in the Format Type field; this type of index field
supports searches on number ranges.
•
Long Text: Stores textual data that exceeds 255 characters in length (up to approximately 64,000
characters in total). Because this type of field does not use database indexes, consider using the
Text(900) field type if possible. Using the Long Text field type in projects that contain huge volumes of
documents can degrade search performance.
•
Number: Stores whole-number values between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647; this type of index
field supports searches on number ranges. This field type supports hyphens or dashes at the beginning
of the number to indicate a negative value, but it does not support hyphens or dashes within the
number, such as dashes within a social security number (555-55-5555). Exclude these dashes from the
number.
•
Text: Stores textual data up to 255 characters in length; this type of field is the most common.
•
Text(900): Stores textual data up to 900 characters in length. Note that migration databases support
only 255 characters, so any data that has been assigned this field type will be truncated during
migration. Note: Microsoft® Server™ supports maximum row sizes of 8060 characters. If the length of
the combined index field (excluding long-text fields) data for a document exceeds 8060 characters,
SQL Server cannot support it, and the system displays an alert.
Performing Project-Level Searches
Projects are available within the Available Projects directory. To view projects to which you have been
granted access, expand the Available Projects directory. Once you select a project within the directory,
the Search <Your Project Name> screen enables you to perform searches for documents. Two types of
search criteria may be available, depending on the administrator's configuration of this screen. The first
type includes the Document Index Field Search Criteria that facilitates index-level (metadata)
searches. The second type, Full-Text Search Criteria, is explained in more detail in the upcoming
section on Full-Text Search Criteria in this chapter.

Project Search Criteria
Note: The number of search fields in the Document Index Field Search Criteria section in your
application may be different than the fields represented in the screen shot above.
Search Screen Overview
The search screen is divided into three sections: Document Index Field Search Criteria, Project Search
Options, and Full-Text Search Criteria. Each section is explained below.
Document Index Field Search Criteria
Document index fields contain values that enable the identification of documents' key elements within a
project during the capture process. These index field values are used to search for and retrieve
documents in PaperVision Enterprise. When you enter an index value to perform a search for a
document, the application compares the value you entered against your database table and retrieves
documents that meet your specific criteria.
Document Index Field Search Criteria
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
31
Chapter 2 - Getting Started
The project’s index fields can be used to refine your searches. Depending on permissions granted by the
administrator, you might be able to define your own search criteria, or you might be required to select
your criteria from a list of existing search terms. Both options may also be available. Numeric, currency,
and date fields can be used to limit search results to a specific range of values. You can enter a single
value in the first field of the range and leave the other field blank, and the system will only search for
documents with your specified value.
Project Search Options
These criteria contain the Search Type drop-down list (click Or or And). The Sort Bydrop-down list
allows you to assign the sorting results by a specific index value in ascending [+] or descending [-] order.
Project Search Options
To sort the search results by in ascending order by company name, select COMPANY NAME [+] .
Full-Text Search Criteria
PaperVision Enterprise offers extensive full-text searching capabilities. In a full-text search, the system
searches for your full-text criteria in every text-type document stored in the current project. "Text-type"
documents include Microsoft®Word or Adobe®PDF documents, COLD documents, email messages, or
optical character recognition (OCR) images. To enable full-text search capabilities, the system populates
your full-text database each time a supported document type is added.
Full-text searches may be performed in combination with standard index-field-level searches. In other
words, you can specify your index field search criteria and then have those documents further filtered by
adding full-text search criteria. When performing a combined search, both the index field criteria and the
full-text criteria must be met for the document to be found.
The Full-Text Search Criteria section contains a Criteria field and Search Type buttons (click Boolean
Search or Natural Language).
Note: To show the Full-Text Search Criteria section, navigate to System Settings > Options and select
the Show Full Text Options check box.
You can use full-text searches to perform partial searches, for example, if you are unsure of the entire
document number.

Search Screen Buttons
The search screen buttons enable you to initiate a search or clear the search criteria already entered.
Search - The Search button initiates the search. The requested documents are displayed in the Search
Results screen. Searches are not case sensitive; for example, a search on the name "smith" locates
"smith" and "Smith". If you enter invalid search criteria, the system displays an alert.
Zero Document Alert
Clear Criteria - The Clear Criteria button removes text entries and selected options from every field.
Full-Text Searches
PaperVision Enterprise offers extensive full-text searching capabilities. In a full-text search, the system
searches for your full-text criteria in every text-type document stored in the current project. Text type
documents include Microsoft® Word or Adobe® PDF documents, COLD documents, email messages, or
optical character recognition (OCR) images. To enable full-text search capabilities, the system populates
your full-text database each time a supported document type is added.
Full-text searches may be performed in combination with standard index-field-level searches. In other
words, you can specify your index field search criteria and then have those documents further filtered by
adding full-text search criteria. When performing a combined search, both the index field criteria and the
full-text criteria must be met in order for the document to be found.
Perform a Full-Text Search
The full-text search options enable you to limit or expand your search results. Use them to perform the
following search types:
•
Variable Term Weighting - This option allows you to weigh some words more heavily than others in
ranking search results (e.g., apple:5 and pear:3).
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
33
Chapter 2 - Getting Started
•
Stemming - This option extends a search to cover grammatical variations of a word. For example, a
search for "fish" would also find "fishing". A search for "applied" would also find "applying", "applies",
and "apply". You can either perform stemming for all of the words in your query by selecting this option,
or for specific words by placing a tilde (~) character at the end of the desired word(s) in your criteria
(e.g., fish~).
•
Phonic - This option searches for a word that sounds like the word you are searching for and begins
with the same letter. For example, a phonic search for "Smith" will also find "Smithe" and "Smythe".
You can either perform a phonic search for all of the words in your query or for specific words in your
query by placing a pound (#) character in front of your search criteria (e.g., #Smith).
•
Fuzzy Searching - This option finds a word even if it is misspelled. For example, a fuzzy search for
"apple" will find "appple". Fuzzy searching will locate text that may contain typographical errors or text
that was created from optical character recognition (OCR). The fuzziness value ranges between 1 and
10. A search for "alphabet" with a fuzziness value of 1 would find "alphaqet". A fuzziness value of 3
would find both "alphaqet" and "alpkaqet."
You can perform a fuzzy search in one of two ways. First, you can search for all of the words in your
query by selecting this option and entering a fuzziness value; or, you can enter the percent (%)
character in the search criteria as shown in the examples below:
•
•
•
ba%nana: The word must begin with "ba" and have at most one difference between it and "banana"
b%%anana: The word must begin with "b" and have at most two differences between it and
"banana"
Synonym Searching uses a thesaurus to automatically expand a search to include synonyms or
related concepts. For example, a search for the word "fast" would also find "quick". You can either
perform synonym searching for all of the words in your query by selecting this option or by placing an
ampersand (&) after certain words (e.g., improve& w/5 search). You do not need to select Synonym
Searching when you use the "&" character, but you must select one or more synonym libraries.
At least one of the following options must be selected to perform synonym searching for either all
of the words in your query or certain words:
•
WordNet Synonyms - This option uses the WordNet thesaurus developed at Princeton
University
•
WordNet Related Words - This option uses WordNet's extensive lexical and semantic network
of the English language to include links between words other than synonym relationships,
including antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and holonyms
•
User Synonyms - This option uses the server's user-defined synonyms
To perform a Full-Text search:
1.
Enter search criteria in the Criteria Field.
2.
Select the type of search to be performed: Boolean or Natural Language.
3.
Select the appropriate options for this search.
4.
Click the Search button.
Perform a Boolean Full-Text Search
A Boolean search request consists of a group of words or phrases that are linked by search operators
such as "AND" and "OR". These operators precisely indicate the relationship between the words or
phrases. Boolean searches treat two or more words that occur together as a phrase, so a search request
for "apple sauce w/10 grape juice" results in a search for apple sauce within 10 words of the phrase
grape juice.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
34
Chapter 2 - Getting Started
To narrow your search results during Boolean searches, apply the following criteria:
•
AND (both words must be present)
•
OR (at least one of the words must be present)
•
NOT (word is not present (use with "AND" or "OR")
•
w/n (words must occur no more than n words apart (for example, "w/10" creates a search for words
that are not more than 10 words apart)
•
* (this wildcard character matches any number of letters)
•
? (this wildcard character matches any single letter)
The following examples describe the types of Boolean searches you can perform in PaperVision
Enterprise:
•
apple AND pear: Results in a search for documents that contain both "apple" and "pear"
•
*apple AND pea*: Results in a search for documents that contain any word that ends with "apple" and
any word that begins with "pea"
•
apple w/6 pear: Results in a search for documents that contain the word "apple" within six words of the
word "pear"
•
apple w/6 pea?r: Results in a search for documents that contain the word "apple" within six words any
word that begins with "pe" and ends with "r" and contains any one letter in between
•
apple sauce w/6 grape juice: Results in a search for documents that contain the phrase "apple sauce"
within six words of the phrase "grape juice"
•
apple AND NOT pear: Results in a search for documents the contain the word "apple" and not "pear"
•
apple AND (pear W/5 banana): Results in a search for the word ”apple” and the word ”pear” when
"pear" occurs within five words the word "banana"
To perform a full-text Boolean search:
1.
Enter the search criteria in the Full-Text Search Criteria fields.
2.
Select Boolean Search (and, or, not, …).
3.
Select the appropriate full-text options.
4.
Click Search.
Perform a Natural-Language Full-Text Search
Natural-language searches use "term weighting", which evaluates the frequency and density of a word's
occurrences in documents. The system searches for words in phrases individually (not as a full phrase)
and ranks the search results based on this term weighting. For example, perform a search for the
following text: "Get me Sam's memo on the 1999 takeover of CorpX". The system locates all documents
that contain words that match the following individual search terms: "Sam", "memo", "1999", "takeover",
and "CorpX. The system then weighs the terms. For example, if the term 1999 exists in 3,000 files and
the term Sam exists in only two files, the files that also contain the term Sam receive a higher relevancy
ranking than those that do not contain Sam.
In a natural-language search, words such as "get", "me", "on", "the", and "of" are considered "noise" and
are ignored. Other words that are ignored are "and" and "or". Administrators can define the words the
system ignores.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide

Chapter 2 - Getting Started
Note: If you are performing a combined index-field/full-text search, the system first searches for
documents that meet your full-text criteria and then searches only those documents for your index-level
search criteria.

Working with Search Results
Based on the search criteria you provide, the server performs your search and displays a list of
documents that meet your criteria. By default, the server limits the number of documents returned
according to your Max Results Per Query value in System Settings > User Options. If applicable, a
notification may inform you that additional pages of search results exist (e.g., Page 1 of 3). If document
security, retention locks, or destruction dates have been applied on documents, a corresponding icon will
display in the Status column.
Search Results
The Search Results page displays the following items:
•
The current project name and the number of documents are displayed per page. The number of
documents listed is limited to the number of documents specified in the Max. Results Per Query field
in the User Options page.
•
If applicable, you will see a notification that more search results exist (Page 1 of ?). The system must
cycle through the results in the database before it can verify the number of pages that match your
search criteria. As soon you click through to the last page of results, the "?" turns into the actual
number of pages.
•
Index fields display as column headers in the search results list.

•
You will see a list of matching documents and their index values, which display in the appropriate
columns. These documents display in the sort order you designated in the Sort By field on the Project
Search page and in the order and grouping you specified in your user option settings found in System
Settings User Options.
•
If applicable, you can expand and collapse documents containing detail sets (also referred to as
"duplicate documents") that appear in the search results list (indicated with a plus sign).

document receiving the most hits. The document with the
most hits always receives a score of 100%.
For example, if a search returns four documents with hits
of 115, 77, 50, and 4, the document with 115 hits receives
a score of 100%; the remaining documents receive 67%
(77 of 115 is 67%), 43%, and 5%, respectively.

Submitting Documents for Migration
PaperVision Enterprise facilitates the process of collecting documents from your repository into external
data groups (CD-ROMs, etc.). Migrating documents becomes particularly useful in applications where
specific sets of data are required to give to an end-user (e.g. legal projects where an attorney wishes to
extract information about a specific case and have it placed on a CD-ROM to take to trial). See the
Migration Jobs topic for more information.
To tag and submit documents for migration:

Administrative Console, not the PaperVision Enterprise Web Client.
Adding New Documents
An infinite number of documents can be added to projects in the Project Search Results screen. You
can add multiple documents during one upload by selecting the Additional Files button. Depending on
the organization of the project and how the administrator set up the index field values, it might be
possible to enter new index values, or you may be able to choose index values from a drop-down list. If
applicable, document-level security may be applied. If text-type documents are added for full-text
searching, the system will populate the full-text database. If you are granted the appropriate folder
security access rights, you can also add new documents to folders in the Folders tab.
To add documents to projects:
1.
Choose the appropriate project from the Project drop-down list, and then click the Add icon. The Add
New Documents page appears.

Scanning New Documents
You can use the Scan2PVE feature to scan and upload single-page or multi-page documents directly
from a TWAIN-enabled scanning device into PaperVision Enterprise. This feature enables you to add,
move, or delete pages within a document and maintain version control of those documents; any
PaperVision Enterprise machine can pull double duty by serving as an ad-hoc scan station for distributed
scanning. You can also use Scan2PVE to capture documents and upload them into a new or existing
workflow process in PaperVision Enterprise WorkFlow.
Scanning Prerequisites
Before you scan documents, you must choose a scanner from Options > Select Scanner and define
your scanner settings in Options > Scanner Settings. Additionally, your system settings must be defined
in Options > System Settings.
Important: To scan documents into PaperVision Enterprise, the scanner must be connected directly to
the scanning machine (no wireless or other network connections).
When new documents are scanned, they are temporarily stored on the local computer (where they were
scanned) until you manually upload them. This is intended to optimize throughput for remote users,
allowing multiple documents to be scanned and then transferred all at once. To select or configure a

Applying Document-Level Security
PaperVision Enterprise applies extensive security measures beyond project-level security permissions.
Project-level security permissions provide functionality-based security at the project level, and
administrators grant or deny users access to specific projects and functionality within those projects.
Document-level security provides more fine-grained settings, enabling administrators to define users'
security access to individual documents. For example, document-level security can restrict access to
certain people based on date ranges or invoice amount ranges. If you do not have access to a document,
you do not see it in your results list. If you are an administrator, you see a padlock icon in the Status
column of secure documents.
Note: For more information about document-level security, see the Getting Started topic's section,
General Security Features.

1.
Select one or more documents.

Chapter 3 - Folders
The Folders tab in PaperVision Enterprise allows you to organize documents in your
own customized arrangement, similar to Windows Explorer. If you have been granted
the appropriate folder security access rights by your administrator, you may be able to view, create,
delete, rename, and move folders within the Folders tab. Folder operations, such as cutting, copying, and
pasting, can be performed by right-clicking on a folder, and then selecting the operation from the context
menu. With the appropriate security access rights, you also may be able to move documents into folders
and remove documents from folders. The Folders view provides you infinite flexibility to organize folders
and documents, providing you with quick and convenient access to any document. To switch to the
Folders view, select the Folders tab next to the main PaperVision Enterprise System tab.
Note: All folder operations are specific to the project in which you are working.
Folders
Documents exist simply as shortcuts in the Folders view. As you place a document into a folder, a
shortcut for that document is created to reference it into that specific folder. You can place one document
in multiple folders, which will simply create multiple shortcuts (to that specific document) into each folder.
You can perform all of the same operations on documents in the Folders view that are available in any
Search Results screen, such as printing, exporting, altering indexes, deleting, etc. Within the Folders tab,
you can delete documents from the PaperVision Enterprise system or you can simply delete the
document shortcuts.
Expanding/Collapsing Folders
You can expand or collapse a folder (indicated with a folder icon) to show or hide its subfolders and
documents. To expand or collapse a folder, right-click the folder and select Expand or Collapse from the

Viewing Documents in Native Applications
PaperVision Enterprise supports more than 250 file formats with the PaperVision Viewer. To view
documents in their native applications, that application must be loaded on your local machine. If the
administrator allows you to view documents in their native applications, you are not restricted from
exporting, printing, or emailing the files. Viewing documents in native applications does not provide full
functionality that the document viewer provides, but several operations are accessible and are outlined in
this topic.
When viewing documents in native applications, the following functions are available:
•
First Doc: Displays the first page of the first document in the search results list
•
Previous Doc: Displays the first page of the previous document in the search results list

Operations in the PaperVision Viewer Toolbar
The PaperVision Viewer offers a wide array of operations that can be performed on documents.
Accessibility to specific operations is controlled by your system administrator. Document operations such
as printing, adding, editing, deleting, exporting, scanning, and uploading may be available. Depending on
your user rights, you may be able to open documents in their native applications, send them by email,
issue document grants, perform audit reviews (on individual documents), and apply records retention
locks and dates. Additionally, text searching and annotation functions might also be accessible.
Viewing Documents

Adding New Documents
In the PaperVison Viewer, documents must be added one at a time. If applicable, the system applies
document-level security levels to these documents as they are uploaded to the system. If you add texttype documents for full-text searching, the system will populate the full-text database. Optionally, you can
add new documents to folders as you add them to the system.
Note: If applicable, document security levels may be applied. If you are adding text-type documents for
full-text searching, the system populates the full-text database.
To add documents in the PaperVision Viewer:
1.
In the PaperVision Viewer toolbar, click the Add New Document
icon. Index values for the
currently-displayed document pre-populate the Add New Document dialog box.

Scanning and Uploading New Documents
You can use the Scan2PVE feature to scan and upload single- or multi-page documents directly from a
TWAIN-enabled scanning device into PaperVision Enterprise. This feature enables you to add, move, or
delete pages within a document and maintain version control of those documents; any PaperVision
Enterprise machine can pull double duty by serving as an ad hoc scan station for distributed scanning.
You can also use Scan2PVE to capture documents and upload them into a new or existing workflow
process in PaperVision Enterprise WorkFlow.

Scanning Prerequisites
Before you scan documents, you must choose a scanner from Options > Select Scanner and define
your scanner settings in Options > Scanner Settings. Additionally, your system settings must be defined
in Options > System Settings.
Important: To scan documents into PaperVision Enterprise, the scanner must be connected directly to
the scanning machine (no wireless or other network connections).
Scanning from the PaperVision Viewer
When you scan documents from the PaperVision Viewer, the system will add the documents to the
current project. During the scanning process, the documents are stored in a temporary location on the
scanning machine until users upload them. This design is intended to optimize productivity for remote
users because they can scan multiple documents and then transfer them all at once. If applicable, the
system applies any document-level security definitions.

Opening Files in Native Applications
Although PaperVision Enterprise offers document viewing capabilities for over 250 different document
and image formats, it is sometimes necessary to open a document in its native application. PaperVision
Enterprise offers the ability to open the file that you are viewing in its native application as determined by
your operating system. When documents with annotations are viewed in native applications, the
annotations are not applied to the document.
1.
Click the Open File in Native Application
icon.
Note: If you have security access to document versioning and this document is an external document,
you have the option of checking the document out.
2.
To open the document in its native application while checking it out, click Yes. The file opens in its
associated application.
Note: Changes to image-based documents will not affect the retrievable document until your changes
have been checked in. You can still access the document (on the same computer) to make additional
changes prior to checking it in.
Emailing Documents
To send documents by email:
1.
While viewing the document that will be sent, click the Email

icon.
Creating Document Grants
A document grant allows a user outside a network or company to access a document directly through a
URL address. For example, instead of faxing or emailing sensitive loan-processing information directly as
an attachment in an email, you can create a document grant. Since the administrator grants permission
to create document grants, you may not have access to this operation. You can create multiple document
grants for the same document.
Passwords and expiration dates can be applied to document grants, and document security is fully
protected during transmission. Since the document viewer plug-in is not used by those who access these
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
70
Chapter 4 - Viewing Documents
types of documents, the document opens through an application on the user's computer. As such,
annotations do not render in these documents.
Note: A PaperVision Enterprise license is consumed only during the active viewing of a document
grant through the provided URL. The license is not consumed for the duration of the document
grant.
To create a document grant:
1.
Click the Create Document Grant

Note: It is not recommended to leave this field blank. If you leave the Password field blank, any user
who obtains the URL can view the document.

document grant so the grant can be available once again. Or, you will have to wait until the document
grant expires in order to recreate the grant.

Altering Document Index Values
Index values can be changed from a search results page or the document viewer. Depending on each
project’s configuration, you may be able to enter new index values or choose new index values from a
drop-down list. When you alter a document's index values in the document viewer, the server updates the
values immediately.
To alter index values:
1.
In the Document Viewer toolbar, click the Alter Document Index Values
icon.
Note: If you are scanning a new document and the document viewer is open, the Alter Document
Index Values function will be disabled.

Viewing Associated Documents
If your administrator has configured document associations for the project in which you are searching,
you can view all associated documents (across multiple projects) that have been linked to the document
you are currently viewing. Associated documents can be linked by common index values, index field
names, wildcards, or other criteria defined by your administrator.

Text Search Results
To display the associated page of the document, double-click the item. If you are viewing the textual
contents of the document (versus the image contents), you can highlight the words or phrase that was
located.
The score percentage is an indicator of the ranking of a document based on its number of hits compared
to the document receiving the most hits. The document with the most hits always receives a score of
100%. For example, if a search returns four documents with hits of 115, 77, 50, and 4, the document with
115 hits receives a score of 100%; the remaining documents receive 67% (77 of 115 is 67%), 43%, and
5%, respectively.
For full-text searches, the hits value displays the number of times (hits) the text exists in the document.

Checking a Document In/Out
Checking out image-based documents is handled differently than non-image documents. When a nonimage document is checked out, it is simply copied to a location on the local computer and then opened
in the native application.
When an image-based document is checked out, things must be handled differently as the document
typically has multiple image files for the single document (note that multi-page TIFF’s, PDF’s, etc are
treated as non-image documents). As such, a temporary checkout file is placed on the local computer.
Until you check the document in, when you access the document from that computer, you can move,
delete, and insert/append pages within the document (which can be accessed by right-clicking on the
page). All of your changes are made to the temporary checkout file. When you check the image-based
document back in, the temporary checkout file is used to update the document on the server.
To check out a document:

The process for checking out image-based documents differs from non-image documents. When you
check out non-image documents, they are simply copied to a location on the local computer and then
opened in the native application.
When you check out image-based documents, the check-out process differs since image-based
documents typically contain multiple image files for the single document (however, multi-page TIFFs,
PDFs, etc. are considered non-image documents). As such, a temporary checkout file is placed on your
local computer. While the image-based document is checked out on your local computer, you can access
the document to move, delete, and insert/append pages within the document. The changes are made to
the temporary checkout file; when you check in the document, this temporary checkout file updates the
document on the server.
To view a document's checkout status:
1.
Right-click on the document, and select Current Status. The user who checked it out and the checkout
date appear.
2.
Click OK to close the status window.
Scanned Document Checkout
Checking out scanned documents differs from checking out documents originating from external files,
such as Microsoft Word documents. Users are not prompted to save scanned documents; rather,
documents are marked as checked out so they cannot be modified. Documents are not removed from the
system, but when they are checked out, users can add, delete or reorder pages using the PaperVision
Viewer specifically. You cannot make changes with any other program and be able to save those
changes. Additionally, this applies to .tif files that were imported into the system and not scanned.

Revision History and Rolling Back Documents
When a document version is updated, the system increments the document version number by a whole
number (e.g., 1.000 becomes 2.000 and 2.003 becomes 3.000). A new revision increments the minor
version of the document (e.g., 1.001 becomes 1.002).
When a document rolls back to an earlier version, the system increments the number, even though the
contents of the document are restored to the contents of the earlier version. For example, version 3.000
does not roll back to version 2.000; instead, the system increments the version to 4.000.

operation from the context menu.
Depending on your security access rights, the Show/Hide Annotations tool may be available in the
document viewer. Annotations allow you to highlight important sections of documents or to hide sensitive
information from unauthorized users. If you are assigned the right to create and modify annotations, you
can completely annotate, or mark up, images within a document. Textual annotations (running notes) are
available for all document types. Annotations are stored in a separate database table that can be affected
when data groups are reloaded. Annotations are simply overlays on images, but they cannot be applied
to all document types.
Note: Depending on the entity's import settings assigned by your administrator, annotations may be lost
when data groups are reloaded into the PaperVision Enterprise system.
Administrators can define user permissions so that annotations are "forced on", which means that users
are able to perform operations on documents to which they have access, but they cannot remove, hide,
or move the annotations. For full-text documents with annotations forced on, full-text is hidden behind the
annotation, but users can still perform a full-text search on the document. In addition, if the "Force
Annotations On" security access setting is enabled and an annotation fails to display, the document will
not display, protecting the security of the annotations.

Most of the annotation tools contain related properties that you can customize, including the pen and
back color, as well as the movable and sizable properties. You can right-click on any annotation, and
then cut, copy, or delete the selected annotation (or all annotations) on the document. Textual properties
are applicable only to the Text Annotation tool, including the Text color, Orientation, Locked, and Text
justification properties.

Operations in the Browser-Based Viewer
PaperVision Enterprise offers a variety of operations that can be performed on documents in the
Browser-Based Viewer. Accessibility to specific operations is controlled by your system administrator.
Document operations such as printing, adding, and sharing may be available for selection. Depending on
your user rights, you may be able to open documents in their native applications, alter document index
values, associate documents, add textual notes, and other operations. Additionally, text searching and
annotation operations may also be accessible.
Viewing Documents
The Browser-Based Viewer displays the documents after you open them in a search results screen.
Depending on your security access rights and the type of document you are viewing, you may be able to
perform various document operations. The Browser-Based Viewer toolbar contains operations that
enable document scaling, zooming, and rotating; page and document navigation; and document-related
tasks such as printing, sharing, and annotating. You must select the Use Browser-Based Viewer user
option prior to viewing documents in the Browser-Based Viewer. See the User Options topic for more
information.

Opening Files in Native Applications
Although PaperVision Enterprise offers document viewing capabilities for various document and image
formats, it is sometimes necessary to open a document in its native application. PaperVision Enterprise
offers the ability to open the file that you are viewing in its native application as determined by your
operating system. When documents with annotations are viewed in native applications, the annotations
are not applied to the document.
If you attempt to open an unsupported file type on an iPad or Android device, the native application must
be installed on the device. Otherwise, the document may not open outside the Browser-Based Viewer.
1.
In the Browser-Based Viewer's General toolbar group, select the Open
icon.
Note: If you have security access to document versioning and this document is an external document,
you have the option to check out the document.

Scaling, Zooming, and Rotating
You can manipulate a document's view by scaling, zooming, and rotating it with the operations in the
Format toolbar group. Image files with extensions such as .bmp, .gif, .jpg, and .tif can be scaled, rotated,
and reset in the Browser-Based Viewer. The Browser-Based viewer contains a zooming feature that is
initiated by dragging the mouse around an area of the image or pinching the area on an iPad or Android
device.
Note: If you adjust your view of a document, the system applies the same adjustments to all of the
documents you are viewing. For example, if you rotate an image 90 degrees, the rest of the images will be
rotated 90 degrees.

Revision History and Rolling Back Documents
When a document version (major) is updated, the system increments the document version number by a
whole number (e.g., 1.000 becomes 2.000 and 2.003 becomes 3.000). A new version (minor) increments
the minor version of the document (e.g., 1.001 becomes 1.002).
When a document rolls back to an earlier version, the system increments the number, even though the
contents of the document are restored to the contents of the earlier version. For example, version 3.000
does not roll back to version 2.000; instead, the system increments the version to 4.000.

Click the Email button to send the document to the recipient.
Sharing Documents
When you share a document, a user outside a network or company can access the document directly
through a URL address. For example, instead of faxing or emailing sensitive loan-processing information
directly as an attachment in an email, you can share a document. Since the administrator grants
permission to share documents, you may not have access to this operation. You can share multiple
documents at a given time.
Passwords and expiration dates can be applied to shared documents, and document security is fully
protected during transmission. Since the PaperVison viewer is not used by those who access these types
of documents, the document opens through an application on the user's computer. As such, annotations
do not render in these documents.
Note: A PaperVision Enterprise license is consumed only during the active viewing of a shared document
through the provided URL. The license is not consumed for the duration of the shared document.

share so it can be available once again. Or, you will have to wait until the document share expires in
order to recreate the share.
10. If desired, paste the URL into the email message that will be sent.
11. Click Close.
Viewing Associated Documents
If your administrator has configured document associations for the project in which you are searching,
you can view all associated documents (across multiple projects) that have been linked to the document
you are currently viewing. Associated documents can be linked by common index values, index field
names, wildcards, or other criteria defined by your administrator.
Note: If the document you are currently viewing does not have any associated documents, the icon will
be disabled.
When an index field or index value (or wildcard) has been configured for a Document Association, the
following search methods are used when you execute the Associated Documents operation in the
document viewer (and Workflow window):
•
When an index field has been configured, the index value in the configured field for the current
document will be used to search the index field configured in the associated project (to find any
documents with the same index value).
•
When an index value (or wildcard) has been configured, the index value configured in the Document
Association will be used to search the index field configured in the associated project (to find any
documents with the same index value).

Chapter 5 - Worksteps Waiting in Queue
If you are assigned to worksteps within a workflow definition in PaperVision
Enterprise, you can access the Worksteps Waiting in Queue directory to complete
your worksteps and associated tasks. When you select a workstep from the directory, the Workflow
View opens and displays all worksteps to which you have been granted access, along with their
associated documents. Workflow definitions, pre- and post-conditions, workstep participants, and tasks
are configured and assigned by your administrator in the PaperVision Enterprise Administration Console.
•
To view a workstep that is waiting in your queue, click it to open the WorkFlow View.
•
To view a complete list of workflow terms, see the Workflow Terms section in the WorkFlow Definitions
topic.
Understanding Basic WorkFlows
To build a workflow definition, administrators include the following elements:
•
Defined workflow participants
•
Workflow definition, which serves as a template of the activities that must occur in the workflow
•
Start workstep, which kicks off the first workflow instance when an associated pre-condition is met
•
Worksteps, including the associated tasks, post-conditions, time limits, and workflow participants;
worksteps can be automated, which means the system undertakes them, or manual, which means a
user or group undertakes them.
•
Stop step, which serves as the last step in the workflow instance
Notes: A single document can be active in multiple workflow instances at the same time. If someone
deletes the document from the system, the workflow instance automatically transitions to the stop step,
and the application sends the workflow administrator a notice in the log file. The system tracks all
workflow instances individually for audit reports.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
128
Chapter 5 - Worksteps Waiting in Queue
The following figure illustrates an example loan-processing workflow instance:
Example of a Loan-Processing Workflow Instance
As illustrated in the loan-processing workflow instance, workflow instances follow the same basic steps:
1. The workflow instance begins.
2. If the first workstep is manual, as in the loan-processing example, the workflow participant takes
ownership of it. If the workstep is automated, the system undertakes it.
3. If the workstep is manual, the workflow participant checks off each associated task upon completion
(similar to a "To-Do" list). If the workstep is automated, the system undertakes the associated tasks.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
129
Chapter 5 - Worksteps Waiting in Queue
4. As soon as at least one post-condition in the workstep is complete, the system transitions the instance to
the next workstep.
5. When the last workstep meets a post-condition, the workflow instance transitions to the stop workstep,
and the workflow instance is complete.
Workflow Terminology
The following terms are used in the Workflow component in PaperVision Enterprise. These terms adhere
to the standard terms prescribed by the Workflow Management Coalition (WFMC) or WFMC-approved
synonyms.
A workflow definition describes a series of activities (workstep definitions), and the order and conditions
under which they execute, that are controlled by the workflow engine to automate a business process.
Workflow/WorkFlow Instance
A workflow or workflow instance is a representation of a single enactment of a workflow definition. A
workflow definition is a description (definition), and a workflow instance is the live execution of that
definition. When a document is imported into PaperVision Enterprise, the system may, based on preconditions, spawn a workflow instance of a workflow definition. In other words, you may create a workflow
definition for a loan processing application, but the workflow instances are the live representations of
loans as they are processed through that workflow.
Note: A single document can be active in multiple workflow instances at the same time. If the document is
deleted from the system, the workflow instance will be transitioned to the end automatically with a history
entry outlining that the document was deleted.
Pre-Conditions
Pre-conditions define a set of rules based on document index criteria that are used to determine if
documents should automatically spawn new workflow instances when a document is added to the system
(via importing data groups or manually adding a new document). A workflow definition can contain
multiple pre-conditions. Once a pre-condition is met for a specific workflow definition and the workflow
instance has been instantiated, no additional pre-conditions for that same workflow will be evaluated.
However, other workflow definitions’ pre-conditions will be evaluated to see if workflow instances should
be created for them. If no pre-conditions are defined for a workflow, workflow instances will have to be
manually created by administrators or users explicitly granted access to do so.
Note: Pre-conditions defined as new versions are not re-evaluated for existing documents (those already
residing in the system) when importing with the Full Reload as New Object Version option. Pre-conditions
defined as new versions are only re-evaluated during document check-in.
Workstep Definition
A workstep definition describes an activity that forms one logical step within a process defined by a
workflow definition. This activity may be automated by the workflow server (with no user intervention) or
may require the user to perform one or a series of tasks. A workstep definition includes one or more
tasks that are assigned to a single participant. While worksteps must be performed in the order defined
by the workflow definition, tasks within a workstep can be performed in any order.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
130
Chapter 5 - Worksteps Waiting in Queue
Workstep/Workstep Instance
A workstep or workstep instance is a representation of a single enactment of a workstep definition within
a workflow instance. It is the smallest unit of work scheduled by the PaperVision Enterprise WorkFlow
engine. Once a workflow instance is created, there is always exactly one active/current workstep instance
representing the workstep that the workflow is currently on. The workstep instance may be owned by a
single user who is currently working on it or it may be unowned (waiting to be taken ownership of). A
workstep instance does not have to be completed all at once. In other words, a user may perform certain
tasks on Workstep A; complete work on Workstep B; then return to complete Workstep A at a later time.
Tasks
A task represents an item of work that can be performed during a workstep. Only one user can own a
workstep; all tasks to be performed within that workstep must be performed by that one user (more than
one user cannot be assigned to the tasks comprising the workstep). Tasks within a workstep do not have
to be performed in any specific order. However, the administrator can order the tasks differently for each
user.
Tasks can include user operations or automated operations. User tasks are simply instructions telling the
user to do something. Once the user has done that task, the user can mark it as completed. Automated
tasks are operations that are carried out by the system for the user. Automated tasks include forcing a
document index field to a specific value, executing command-line instructions (to launch separate
applications or perform a system operation), and raising COM events (to allow a third-party application to
interact with the workstep). Automated tasks are executed after the previous task in the workstep is
executed.
Workstep Participants
A workstep participant indicates whether a group of users will complete the workstep or the server
(Automated) will automatically perform every task in the workstep.
Task/Workstep Transition
A workstep transition occurs when a workstep is completed and the flow of the workflow moves
(transitions) to another workstep.
Post-Conditions
Post-conditions are rules that are evaluated when a workstep instance is activated. After each task is
processed, post-conditions are used to determine whether the workstep is completed. Post-conditions
contain two pieces of information, including evaluation rules and the transition workstep. The evaluation
rules specify the tasks to be completed and/or any document index criteria that must exist in order for the
rule to be satisfied. If the rule is satisfied, then the workstep is marked as completed and then
transitioned to its transition workstep. The transition workstep specifies the next workstep; it can also
specify the end of the entire workflow or transition to another workflow entirely.
A workstep definition may contain multiple post-conditions. Each post-condition is evaluated in order (i.e.
when a workstep contains multiple post-conditions, the first post-condition that is met will initiate the
workstep transition, and the workstep will be completed.
Workstep Owner
As workstep instances are created, defined workstep participants can assume ownership of them. Once a
specific user (or the system) has assumed ownership of the workstep instance that user (or the system)
becomes the Workstep Owner. Once a workstep instance is owned, no other participants can perform
any of the tasks for that particular workstep instance. Ownership of a workstep instance can only be
revoked by an administrator

Chapter 6 - Global Searches
The Global Searches directory facilitates document searches across multiple
projects. If you consistently perform searches by certain criteria such as social
security number, account number or company ID, you can add a global search to streamline the search
process. Because the Page Forward or Page Backward commands are not included on the Global
Search Results page, define specific criteria so that your search produces only the most applicable
results. All users are allowed to define an unlimited number of global searches. Searches are not case
sensitive; for example, a search on the name "smith" locates both "smith" and "Smith".
Global searches that are run against certain databases are often added to these databases' log files.
Consequently, these log files can grow over time and can possibly cause these databases to perform
much more slowly. Because of this possibility, it is recommended to select only the relevant fields to
perform the global search. For example, to search only for social security numbers across projects, you
should not select irrelevant index fields for the global search; fields like company name, employee name,
department name, etc. should not be selected.
Global Search Criteria
Note: It is required to search at the project level when searching for full-text data.
After defining a Global Search, the page consists of the following elements:

Console, not the PaperVision Enterprise Local Client. For more information about migration, see Working
with Migration Jobs.
Adding New Documents
An infinite number of documents can be added to projects. You can add multiple documents during one
upload by selecting the Additional Files button. Depending on the organization of the project and how
the administrator set up the index field values, it might be possible to enter new index values, or you may
be able to choose index values from a drop-down list. If applicable, document-level security may be
applied. If text-type documents are added for full-text searching, the system will populate the full-text
database. If you are granted the appropriate folder security access rights, you can also add new
documents to folders in the Folders tab.

Applying Document-Level Security
PaperVision Enterprise applies extensive security measures beyond project-level security rights. Projectlevel security access rights provide functionality-based security at the project level, and administrators
can grant or deny user access to specific projects and functionality within those projects.
Document-level security provides more fine-grained settings, enabling administrators to define users'
security access rights to individual documents. For example, document-level security can restrict access
to certain people based on date ranges or invoice amount ranges. If you do not have access to a
document, you will not see it in your results list. If you are an administrator or a user with the appropriate
rights, a padlock will appear in the Status column of secured documents.
To manually apply document-level security:
1.
From the Global Search Results page, select one or more documents.
2.
Click the Secure icon.
3.
Select the document-security level definitions to apply to the documents. Any definitions currently
applied to the selected documents are shown as selected.
4.
To remove a document-level security definition, clear the check box.
5.
Click Save. The server applies the document-level security definition to the document.
To remove document-level security:
1.
From the Global Search Results page, select the documents whose document security should be
removed.
2.
Click Secure.
3.
Remove the document-security level definitions that should no longer be assigned.
4.
Click Save. The server removes the document-level security definition from the documents.

Migration Jobs
Migration jobs are created after documents are tagged for migration within the System Settings
directory. Additionally, new migrations jobs are created as documents are tagged for new projects or if
the project's migration job has been submitted for processing. After documents are tagged for migration,
the administrator is required to submit migration jobs for processing.
Note: Only an administrator can complete the final process of a migration job.
Once migration jobs have been processed, a notification will appear in the System Settings >
Notifications screen. The migration job page contains a list of migration jobs as well as Submit, Delete
and Refresh commands.
The column headers indicate the following information:

•
Submit Time: Displays the time when job was submitted for processing; displays as Not Submitted if
job not yet submitted for processing
•
Finish Time: Displays the time when job was processed; migration job status is Not Yet Run if an
administrator has not yet run it
Understanding Migration Jobs (Documents Tagged for Migration
The PaperVision Enterprise migration feature enables your organization to collect documents from
various data groups in your repository and save them and any existing or modified document index fields
into a new data group. An administrator can then save this new data group to any location, including
external media.
For example, your group might need to supply an attorney with documents that apply to a specific case.
Your team can migrate only the applicable documents and burn them onto a CD or DVD so that the
attorney can access the information. The original documents are not altered, nor are they removed from
the PaperVision Enterprise.
When documents are migrated, the following conditions are applied:
•
Users must have appropriate permissions to tag documents for migration.
•
Migration jobs do not export document annotations.
•
Migration databases do not support the Text(900) index field type; these databases truncate index
fields at 255 characters.
PaperVision® Enterprise User Guide
159
Chapter 8 - System Settings
•
The original documents are not altered, nor are they removed from the PaperVision Enterprise.
•
COLD/PaperVision Enterprise Report Management documents and CAR references are not supported
for migration.
•
The administrator or user who submitted the migration jobs must manually delete migration jobs after
they are completed and no longer needed.
•
Any errors that occur during the migration process are written to a Migration Errors X.txt file in the
data group’s directory.
When migrating information, three basic steps are followed:
1.
Documents are tagged for migration in the Search Results page.
2.
Tagged documents are submitted as migration jobs.
3.
An administrator runs the migration process to locate the tagged documents in their original data
groups.
•
•
The documents are then copied to a separate location, where they are formatted into a standard
PaperFlow data group. This data group can then be saved to any supported media type.
The system displays the notification in the System Settings > Notifications screen or sends an email message to alert when the migration job has been processed.
Viewing Migration Jobs
All migration jobs are listed in this screen. If no documents are tagged for migration, a notification
displays a message that no migration jobs have been created.
Submitting Migration Jobs
To submit migration jobs:
1.
Highlight the appropriate migration jobs.
2.
Or, click Select All.
3.
Click Submit in the Migration Jobs dialog.
Note: If you do not select a migration job, the system displays an alert. Click OK to close the alert.
4.
Click OK to confirm, and the jobs will be added to the Submit queue for processing.
Deleting Migration Jobs
PaperVision Enterprise does not automatically delete migration jobs after an administrator processes the
migration. An administrator or the user who submitted the job for migration must manually delete the
migration job.
To delete a migration job:
1.
From the System Settings > Migration Jobs screen, select the appropriate migration jobs.
2.
Or, click Select All, and then click Delete.
Note: If you do not select a migration job, the system displays an alert. Click OK to close the alert.

Change Password
Depending on how the administrator set up the entity, users' passwords may expire periodically or
require a minimum number of characters. Depending on each user's permissions granted by the
administrator, the Change Password feature may be disabled. If you enter an incorrect password a
predefined number of times, you might be locked out of your entity. It is recommended to refer to your
company's administrator if you have questions about your password.
You must enter your current password before entering a new password in the Change Password screen.
After entering the new password, it must be confirmed then saved. A blank password is not
recommended because it can compromise your security. After changing the password, the change is
updated immediately in the system. This page contains the Current Password, New Password and
Confirm New Password fields. To open this screen, open System Settings > Change Password.
Note: Passwords are case-sensitive.
To change your password:

Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: To better understand the Maximum Results per Query
and Document
A: PaperVision Enterprise searches for documents (excluding full-text search criteria) by following the
steps below:
1.
PaperVision Enterprise executes the submitted index value query against the SQL database, limiting
the results to the value specified by Maximum Results per Query and sorting by the Document ID
value.
2.
For each document returned from that database query, PaperVision checks to ensure the requesting
user has document level access to it.
3.
If, after stripping out documents, there are fewer than Maximum Results per Query, PaperVision
Enterprise will repeat steps 1 and 2 for the next group of documents. When the correct number of
documents are found (or no more meet the criteria), PaperVision Enterprise will continue to step 4.
4.
PaperVision Enterprise sorts the final set of documents based on the user’s requested sort order and
field.
5.
PaperVision Enterprise cycles through the documents, queuing them up to be returned to the client. As
it does this, if the user has document grouping enabled, PaperVision Enterprise will compare document
index values to see if any document groups should be created.
PaperVision Enterprise searches for documents (including full-text search criteria) by following the steps
below:
1.
PaperVision Enterprise submits the full-text search criteria to the full-text database engine, instructing it
to return, at most, the number of documents specified by Maximum Full-Text Items configured by the
system administrator. The engine returns the Document ID values (and additional information) of any
documents that the full-text engine finds.
2.
PaperVision Enterprise appends the submitted index value query (if any) to also require the resulting
documents to have Document ID values that are in the list of those found by the full-text engine.
3.
PaperVision Enterprise executes the submitted index value query against the SQL database, limiting
the results to the value specified by Maximum Results per Query and sorting by the Document ID
value.
4.
For each document returned from that database query, PaperVision Enterprise checks to ensure the
requesting user has document level access to it.
5.
If, after stripping out documents, there are fewer than the specified Maximum Results per Query,
PaperVision Enterprise will repeat steps 3 and 4 for the next group of documents. When the correct
number of documents are found (or no more meet the criteria), PaperVision Enterprise will continue to
step 6.
6.
PaperVision Enterprise sorts the final set of documents based on the user’s requested sort order and
field.
7.
PaperVision Enterprise cycles through the documents, queuing them up to be returned to the client.
Since a full-text search was issued, no document grouping is used.

Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does PaperVision Enterprise’s file caching scheme work?
A: PaperVision Enterprise implements advanced caching processes to minimize the chance of a
document being accessed by an unauthorized party. When using an application server or
PaperVision.net Enterprise in your PaperVision Enterprise installation, the document store is never
exposed to outside users, nor is it exposed to the PaperVision Enterprise users.
When a user retrieves a document
1.
The PaperVision Enterprise server caches the first page of that document to a temporary location and
then passes that information to the PaperVision document viewer.
2.
The PaperVision Enterprise document viewer retrieves the file from the temporary location on the
server and stores it in a temporary location on the client machine.
3.
The PaperVision Enterprise document viewer notifies the PaperVision Enterprise server that the
cached file can be removed.
4.
The PaperVision Enterprise server removes the cached file.
5.
Steps 1 through 4 are repeated for any additional documents or pages.
6.
When the PaperVision Enterprise document viewer is closed, it clears out the cached files on the local
machine

Appendix B: PVESearchURL Feature
The PVESearchURL feature is use to locate documents in your database.
To locate documents using the PVESearchURL feature, you must include the following parameters in
your URL:
•
UserName = (A valid user name.)
•
Password = (A valid password.)
•
EntID = (The ID of the entity to search.)
•
ProjID = (The ID of the project to search.)
•
IndexFields = (A pipe-delimited list of the index fields to search.) *
•
ResultsType = (Options are 'List' to display a list of search results or 'Docs' to display specific

The following elements are optional if you use the default value or the value is blank:
•
Password = (If the password is blank.)
•
IndexValues = (A pipe-delimited list of Index Values for which you want to search.) *
•
IndexValuesTo = (A pipe-delimited list of the 'To' index values in a date range. The default is blank or
no range searching. If you use the default and enter a date in the 'IndexFields' or 'IndexValuesTo'
fields, the system searches for that specific date.)*
•
SortBy = (The name of the index field to sort the results by. The default is the first index field in
ascending order. To sort in descending order, add ' [-]' to the end of the index field.)
•
FTQuery = (The full text string you are searching for.)
•
FTOptions = (Tab Delimited(“\t”) list of full-text search options which can use the following
• BOOLEAN or NATURAL: specifies to use either a Boolean or Natural Language search.
• STEMMING: specifies that stemming is to be used on all words.
• PHONIC: specifies that a phonic search is to be performed on all words.
• FUZZY=x: specifies that a fuzzy logic search is to be performed on all words with a fuzziness setting
of “x” (where x is between 1 and 10).
• SYNONYM: specifies that a synonym search is to be performed on all words.
• WNSYNONYM: specifies that any synonym searching should use the WordNet thesaurus of
synonyms.
• WNRELATED: specifies that any synonym searching should use the WordNet related words list.
• USERSYNONYM: specifies that any synonym searching should use the user-defined thesaurus.
•
SearchTyp e= (The type of search; enter 'And' or 'Or'. The default is 'Or'.)
•
ShowHomeLink = (Options are 'true' or 'false'. If this value is 'true', the resulting page displays a link to
the main project page.)
•
Locale = (Used when executing on a translated web site. The Locale parameter must use the same
country code as the translated strings). The default is EN-US.

Appendix B: PVESearchURL Feature
Note: IndexFields' values and 'IndexValues'/'IndexValuesTo' values are range values and are directly
related to each other. When you design your PVESearchURL string, enter your values in the same order
as your index fields.
For example, if your 'From' value is the first index field value, that value needs to come first in your
PVESearchURL string.
Here are some examples of what the URL might look like:
•
/PVESearchURL.aspx?UserName=User1&Password=pAsswOrd1&EntID=4&ProjID=1&IndexFields=N
ame|Date|Amount&IndexValues=John Doe|10-052004|100&SortBy=Date&SearchType=And&ResultsType=Docs
You can use a valid a session ID ('SessionID') value instead of a 'UserName'/'Password' pair to search
for documents.
•
/PVESearchURL.aspx?SessionID=14133234434539852398247329843294972983792834&EntID=4&P
rojID=1&IndexFields=Name&IndexValues=John Doe&ResultsType=List
•
/PVESearchURL.aspx?UserName=Public&EntID=4&ProjID=1&IndexFields=Name&IndexValues=John
Doe&ResultsType=List
•
/PVESearchURL.aspx?UserName=Test&EntID=4&ProjID=1&IndexFields=Date&IndexValues=10-052004&IndexValuesTo=10-06-2004&ResultsType=List
•
/PVESearchURL.aspx?UserName=Public&EntID=4&ProjID=1&IndexFields=Name&ResultsType=List&
FTQuery=John Doe&FTOptions=NATURAL\tPHONIC\tFUZZY=0
Note: These elements can optionally be passed as form fields instead of URL values.
