ccScan Advanced for SharePoint is best explained with some examples: run unattended jobs to import electronic faxes, upload them to automatically selected folders of a SharePoint Document Library or List, and automatically name the document, all based on information extracted from barcodes and text pattern searches in text obtained through OCR. Or scan documents and automatically populate custom Columns in a SharePoint Document Library or List. Since ccScan is highly configurable it can be applied to many scenarios where opportunities for automation and large time savings are present.
ccScan Advanced features are based upon sophisticated technologies such as barcode detection, OCR, and Text Pattern search with Regular Expressions. These capabilities are applied to both the scanning of paper documents in the paper-based office and the processing of electronic documents in the paperless office.
ccScan Standard for SharePoint is similar to ccScan Advanced without the automation capabilities. ccScan Standard is typically used in a paper-based office to efficiently scan paper documents to SharePoint. Because ccScan Standard scans directly to SharePoint you can eliminate manual steps like scanning locally, naming the document, creating a folder in a SharePoint Document Library or List, uploading the document to SharePoint, and finally entering values in the input fields (“Columns”) defined for the Document Library or List. Instead, ccScan Standard does all of this in a pre-configured and efficient single-step operation.

What are SharePoint and ccScan?
• What is SharePoint?
• Microsoft SharePoint is a highly popular business collaboration platform for the
enterprise. Typically it is the single point for all information aggregation, search and
collaboration in an organization.
• Since SharePoint is multi-functional it can be used to build and manage internal and
external websites, to build communities for internal networking and social
collaboration, to search for organization-wide information, to explore the
organization’s business intelligence, etc.
• What is ccScan?
• A production-quality capture application used to scan and import documents directly
to SharePoint in an automated, time-saving manner.
• Supports SharePoint Online Office 365 and SharePoint 2013, 2010, 2007

3. SCAN, IMPORT, AND AUTOMATICALLY FILE DOCUMENTS TO SHAREPOINT ®
Typical Scenario
• Typically people that scan documents to SharePoint
• First scan to their PC, use the browser to create a folder in a SharePoint document
library and finally upload their scanned document(s) to this folder
• Afterwards they use the browser to enter values in the columns of the SharePoint
document library to set the document properties
• Obviously this approach takes a lot more time than necessary
• The next slide shows how ccScan can eliminate this wasted time

SharePoint Custom Column Values
• Enter values into columns of a SharePoint Document Library or List immediately at
scanning time instead of updating those later
• In other words, “index” your documents directly
• ccScan enumerates all columns in a Document Library or List and makes them
available
• Select which columns the operator must enter and enter default values for the
remaining columns
• Alternatively select a SharePoint “View” for the Document Library which limits the
number of columns made available
• For each column ccScan obtains the properties from SharePoint (data type, required
column, etc) and applies those properties during data entry

Automate with ccScan Advanced
• Separate a stack of multi-page documents automatically with barcodes
• Automatically name documents, automatically select/create folders, and automatically
enter data in custom columns with values
• Extracted from one or more barcodes
• Obtained with text pattern searches in text retrieved with OCR
• Computed from running counters
• Barcode values, text search results, and counters are made available in “macros” which
can be combined with static text to form complex expressions
• Use multiple barcodes and text pattern searches in combination with “conditional macros”
to test for different document types and apply rule-based processing
• Automation works equally well with scanned paper documents and imported PDFs
