Retrieving a Backup Batch

If a batch is scanned but not uploaded, ScanFlow places it in a backup directory where it is retained for seven days. This period can be modified by administrators for any local GoFileRoom user who scans documents with ScanFlow

Note: You can contact GoFileRoom Support to change the retention setting for the backup directory.

You can retrieve temporary backups of scanned documents in C:\Users\<user profile>\AppData\Roaming\GoFileRoom\GFRScanflow\Backup. Double-click a file to view it in Acrobat.

Troubleshooting scanning errors

When an error occurs during the scanning process, ScanFlow displays a Scanning Error dialog that includes information and provides options for how to proceed.

Scan Error dialog

Note that in this case the error states that the document has been filed. The document ID already has a document associated with it; therefore, it can not be used. An error that states that the document has already been scanned indicates a Scanned status for the document ID.

You can click the Use Document Tracking link to access to the Document Tracking report to research the Document ID. You can use the report to identify or reset a document ID status from Scanned to Barcoded. Based on your research, you can delete the document from the batch, try again, or re-enter the document ID manually.

Choose an option in the Scanning Error dialog and click OK.
