Retrieval Limits

The Retrieval Limits section in the Laserfiche Capture Engine dialog box allows you to define any limits you want to place on entries retrieved.

Limit the number of documents retrieved from each folder:

• Select this option to limit the maximum number of documents you want retrieved from each folder. Type a number in the number box or use the up and down arrows to navigate to the limit you want. This option can help with load balancing.

  Example: The Education and Marketing departments are both scanning documents into the same repository folder for Laserfiche Capture Engine to pick up and process in Quick Fields. The Marketing department scans 1,000 documents into the shared folder while the Education department only scans 50. If the number of documents retrieved per folder is not limited, the Education department will have to wait until all 1,000 Marketing documents are processed before the Education department's documents can even begin to be processed.

Limit the number of pages retrieved from each document:

• Select this option to limit the number of pages you want retrieved from each document. Type a number in the number box or use the up and down arrows to navigate to the limit you want.

  Example: The Marketing department has 20 page documents in their repository. They only need the first two pages of each document processed, so they limit the number of pages retrieved to two.

Limit the number of entries waiting to be processed:

• Select this option to limit the number of documents processed at one time. Type a number in the number box or use the up and down arrows to navigate to the limit you want.

  Example: If you have a scheduled Laserfiche Capture Engine session that is supposed to OCR documents in a folder in your repository, you can configure Quick Fields to limit the processing queue to 100 and Quick Fields will OCR 100 documents at a time to help save disk space.

  Note: The Limit the number of entires waiting to be processed option is not available in Quick Fields Scanning.

  Note: This option was in the Options dialog box in version 8.3 of Quick Fields. If you are migrating to 10 from 8.3, you will need to reconfigure this option as it is not automatically migrated for you.
