Standard Tokens

A token is a placeholder value that is automatically replaced with actual values when a document is scanned or stored in a Laserfiche repository. You can use tokens to name documents, populate field data, or define a document's location. Standard tokens are those that Quick Fields can determine from the computer or session settings. These include such information as the date and time according to the computer settings, the count number of the document among all documents scanned by that session, or the source path of the document if you are processing documents that have already been stored on a network drive or in Laserfiche. The tokens automatically available to you will vary depending on the scan source you are using.

Example: Joe has ten documents to scan. He wants each document to be automatically named in the following format: Scan Date - Name of the User that Scanned the Document. To apply this naming convention, Joe configures his scanning session to use a default document name. The default name he defines uses the Date and Username tokens via the following syntax: %(Date) - %(Username). After Joe scans and stores his ten documents, they will each be automatically named similar to the following: 04/08/2010 - Joe.

The following list details the standard tokens available in Quick Fields.
