The GoFileRoom ScanFlow Add-In allows you to do the following:

• Scan multiple documents to GoFileRoom as a single batch.
• Recognize and process GoFileRoom barcode cover sheets.
• Recognize and process GoFileRoom bookmark separator sheets.
• Delete blank back pages when scanning in duplex mode.

Additional system requirements

  Prior to installing ScanFlow, determine the following.

  • Does your firm already use a shared network instance for the Upload Documents service?
  • Does your firm need to install the Upload Documents service locally, on each workstation where ScanFlow is installed, or does the service need to be installed on a shared server?
