Filing mask: PaperOffice Intelligent Filing (PIA)

The PIA module integrated in PaperOffice helps you with the automated processing of your files. As a next step you can define the storage method for your DropMail address:

- Show storage dialog: New documents are analyzed by PIA, automatically tagged and displayed for completion.

- Only if unknown: As "Show storage dialog", but the PIA storage dialog is only displayed if the document could not be recognized.

- Never show: PIA is started in the background, automatically stores all documents in the background and is only displayed in the event of errors. Activate the radio button if you want to use a specific storage mask for your DropMail and select the necessary storage mask from the list as the next step.

- Switched off and optimized for mass imports: PIA is not used and new documents are stored directly in the target folder without analysis. Activate the radio button and, as the next step, select a specific folder for storage by clicking on the "Select from folder list" button.
Now select the folder directly in the folder tree and click on it with the left mouse button.

Assign workflow : In addition to the standard folder from the previous step, you can also assign a workflow. This workflow is activated automatically as soon as the document is stored in the folder. This assignment is optional.

Assign status : Assign status: Activate this option if you want to automatically assign a document type by selecting it from the selection list. The status can only be assigned if you did not select a workflow in the previous step or if the workflow you selected does not contain an automatic action, such as the assignment of a document status. This assignment is optional.

Assign document type : Activate this option if you want to automatically assign a document type by selecting it in the selection list.
