Add-On Application
Users are required to download the setup application that will act as the bridge between MS Office applications and Docupace. The feature is available on your site at Administration > Utilities > MS Office Add-Ons Note: You must have all Microsoft Office products closed before installing the Docupace Add-in. Failure to do that may cause an error in the install. 1. After selecting the MS Office Add-Ons link, You will be asked to save (and then open) the application to begin the install/setup process. 2. During the setup, you will be asked to provide the URL of your Docupace site AND the local Uploader folder. This folder must be c:\scanning\export. This folder will be automatically created (either from earlier when installing DocuScan or on completion of the Add-Ons setup. Note: Make sure that you do not include the /app at the end of the url. If you do include tha t, you will get an error message on login.

3. Select Next and you will be notified that the configuration is complete.

File Uploader
Reminder: the file uploader must be engaged. If you do not have this turned on to accept images, the created MS Office record image will stay on your local pc until you turn the uploader on. The actual record will be visible in Docupace, but there will not be a record associated. Once the uploader is engaged, the image will match up with the record.

If you do want a copy locally, you will need to save it to your local system. 3. If an email has an attachment, will it remain with the email? Yes. The entire email and its contents are intact. 4. What will happen if I submit the document but exit the system without indexing the document? The document will be submitted as an unindexed document. From there you can index it at a later time. 5. Can I resubmit an updated document (Word/Excel) directly back into the system? Yes. When you open the document inside of Docupace and make changes, once you select the Send to Docupace you will be asked if you want to send the document (it will reference the document id) in. When you send it in, it will come in as a new version.
