| Looking for a low, cost, easily customized,
quickly deployed archive of scanned documents?
Don't spend a fortune, just customize the Contact Form
in an Exchange Public Folder.
- Scan documents into NT file Folders with a IIS
Virtual Directory
- Create a Public Folder to hold Contact Items
- Customize the contact form to store your meta data
- Use built-in fields like Name, Organizational ID
Number, Location, etc.
- Use the built-in Web Page field to hold hyperlinks
to your images (i.e. file:\\myserver\myfile.tif )
- Customize the Public Folder views to display the meta
data fields you have chosen
- Right click the folder to set its user access
permissions
- Email a shortcut to the Public Folder to all of your
users
This solution works best for small workgroup repositories.
I find performance on our systems begins to degrade with over 100,000
index records in a single Public Folder. Exchange 5.5 doesn't offer
querying across multiple public folders, but you can use use Site Server
to provide a multi-folder search function later on, if needed. |
