Introduction

This document describes the ScannerVision Cloud Information Manager Connector (Connector) requirements and provides instructions on configuring the Connector.
The focus of this document is on Connector configuration, so the document does not cover basic ScannerVision features such as installation, user, network server, OCR settings, Zone Recognition Settings, and Expression editor.
This Connector can be used for both Kyocera Cloud Information Manager and Cloud Information Manager.

About the ScannerVision Cloud Information Manager Connector

Once installed and properly configured, the ScannerVision Cloud Information Manager Connector (Connector) uploads a single document with metadata to Cloud Information Manager as Indexed, based on the connector settings.

The Connector checks to see if the user has accepted the CIM EULA / Privacy legal agreement. The uploading process fails if the user has not accepted the EULA / Privacy legal agreement by logging in to CIM on a web browser before scanning.
Note the following information, which differs if your organization is using a license or subscription model.

There are two billing modes in CIM, which are License mode and Subscription mode.

  • The Connector checks the billing mode used for a tenant.
    • If billing mode is license, the Connector validates the contract information. If any of following conditions are met, the uploading process fails:
    • The CIM contract is expired
    • The CIM document count is exceeded
    • The CIM data usage is exceeded
    • The OCR usage is exceeded
    • If the billing mode is subscription, the Connector validates the subscription status. The uploading process fails if the subscription status is invalid.
  • CIM has a 30 MB limit to upload a document using a web browser, the HyPAS application, and the mobile application. The Connector does not have this limit. Uploading document more than 30 MB should be OCRed by ScannerVision to avoid a performance issue since it takes a while for CIM to OCR a large document.
  • Usage count:
    • License model:
    • If a document is already OCRed by ScannerVision, the OCR counter on CIM is not incremented.
    • Data storage on CIM is counted, based on file size.
    • Number of documents are counted based on the number of uploaded documents.
    • Subscription model:
    • Data storage on CIM is counted based on file size.

As you type the Password, dots replace the characters you entered. Domain is not used, so you can leave it empty.

If you reopen this window, the password field appears blank. The password is saved correctly and does not need to be re-entered.

    • You can type a document title manually (2) or use the Expression editor (3). The example image above used the Expression editor to insert a tag.
      The document title will be the original file name.

    • Both “with file extension” and “without file extension” are supported.
      For example, when typing a title manually, you can enter either of the following filenames since they are both supported: sample-document.pdf or sample-document. When using Expression editor,
      you can use either of the following tags since they are both supported:
      [ORIGINALFILENAME] or [ORIGINALFILENAMEWITHOUTEXTENSION]kyocera-cloud-
information-manager-FIG- \(9\)

  2. From the Document class menu (4), select the document class you want to configure.
    The image below is provided as an example. The Document class, target folders, and attributes will be different for your organization.

  3. In the Choose target folder area, select the destination folder (5) where you want to upload documents for this Document class.
    Expand My folders to see the Cloud Information Manager subfolders.
    The target folders displayed are the folders currently in Cloud Information Manager.
    The target folder you chose is displayed under Store to (6).
    If you do not select a destination folder, My folders is used as the default destination folder for the document class.

    The ScannerVision Expression Editor opens.

  5. From the “Available Tags” column, select the ScannerVision tag that will extract the information for the attribute you selected, and then select Save.
    You can also type a value directly into the Attributes table without using the ScannerVision Expression Editor if the value is not a variable.
    The Connector Setup window displays, and the tag you selected displays in the Value column.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the Attributes have a value associated with them.

  7. Select Save.

  8. Check the configured settings by selecting Settings. An example of the settings is shown below.kyocera-cloud-information-manager-FIG- \(10\)

  9. Make sure you select Apply settings after all configuration settings are finished.
    If you do not select Apply settings and exit the window, all your configuration settings are lost.

This completes the installation and configuration of the Connector. Test the connector to make sure that it delivers documents to Cloud Information
Manager as expected.
