General Tab
The General tab, in the Laserfiche Snapshot Configuration dialog box, allows you to set default properties for the document, provides access to default printer settings, and allows you to change the default Laserfiche repository where documents created by Laserfiche Snapshot will be stored.
- After a document has been printed: How Snapshot will assign Laserfiche properties to a document.
- Assign it the configured properties without prompting: Ensures that default document properties set in this dialog box will be assigned to each document printed by Laserfiche Snapshot and the Laserfiche Snapshot dialog box will not be displayed after a document is printed. However, if an error occurs on the import, the Laserfiche Snapshot dialog box will be displayed on local and terminal print jobs. It will not be displayed on network print jobs; instead, the error will be logged for an administrator to review.
- Prompt to configure properties: Ensures you are prompted to set or verify document settings in the Laserfiche Snapshot dialog box after printing a file with Snapshot.
- Default document properties
- Name: The default name for Laserfiche imaged documents that will be created
by Snapshot. Click the Token button
to use tokens. Selecting a token from the menu inserts
it into the Document name option. - Folder: The default path to the folder where Laserfiche imaged documents
created by Snapshot will be stored by default. You can type the path or use the Browse
button
to find and select it. This option also supports the use of tokens to
assign information specific to that particular print job to the default
path. Click the Token button 
to use tokens.
Selecting a token from the menu inserts it into the Folder option.Or, click Browse to browse through a Laserfiche repository to find
the desired Laserfiche folder. - Volume: The volume that will be assigned to the Laserfiche imaged document
being created. In addition to providing a list of volumes, this list contains
<Use client's default volume> and <Use parent folder's default volume>. The <Use client's default volume> assigns the default volume, as specified under the General section of the New
Documents node in the Options dialog box from the Laserfiche Windows client, to the
current document. The <Use parent folder's default volume> assigns the document to the default volume configured for the destination folder specified in the Folder Properties dialog box in the Laserfiche Windows client. (Note that, if you select this option and import to a folder that has no default volume set, the print job will not be able to complete until the user chooses a volume.)
- Export to directory: Select this option if you do not want Snapshot to automatically save the document in your Laserfiche repository. Snapshot will save generated files to a location on disk, allowing you to import the files into Laserfiche at a later time. You can type the desired path or use the browse button to find and select a folder.
- Name: The default name for Laserfiche imaged documents that will be created
by Snapshot. Click the Token button
- Connection Information: Displays the connection information for the repository in which documents will be stored.
- Repository: The default Laserfiche repository in which Laserfiche Snapshot will store documents.
- Authentication: The user that will be used to authenticate to the specified repository.
- Change: Opens the Repository Login dialog box box, allowing you to select the default Laserfiche repository.
- Preferences: Opens the Laserfiche Snapshot Printing Preferences dialog box, which allows users to configure the default manner in which images and text are generated (e.g., color depth, image format, page orientation, paper size, and photo quality).
- Current value for Count token: Sets the initial number for the Count token. This number will automatically be incremented as documents that use the Count token are processed.
Note: Prepending one or more zeros to the value assigned to the Set Count to setting (by typing them into the field) will add leading zeros when the Count token is used to name a document. When the Count token is replaced by a value, the value will contain zeros for each unused digit (e.g., "0000" in the field would produce the following numbered files: 0001, 0002, … 0009, 0010).
