Faxes may be read and stored in one of more than 30 file formats.
Please see your FlowPort Administrator for details about the format
configured for your site.
Chapter1: FlowPort 2.1.1 SP3 Update3
Updated or New Features in FlowPort
Login Credentials for
Document Repositories
FlowPort 2.1.1 SP3 has a new security feature called “Login
Credentials” that allows you to change a repository username and
password, but still use existing forms that require a login.
For example, to access a Docushare Collection, you must supply
your DocuShare User Name and Password. In FlowPort 2.1.1 SP3,
each user maintains a list of uniquely named login credentials,
where each login credential contains credential information such
as:
•the name of the credential
•the repository user name
•the user’s password for the repository
A DocuShare login credential would appear as the following:
Name: joesmith Purchasing Server
DocuShare User Name: joesmith
DocuShare Password: *******
When you create a PaperWare form that requires repository
information (such as a Document Token), you must specify the
login credential you wish to use. You select a named credential (if
you have created one), or you create a new login credential. In the
example above, Joe Smith created a logon credential named
“joesmith Purchasing Server.”
For any new forms that Joe creates that require access to the
repository on the Purchasing Server, Joe simply needs to specify
that credential by name, and not worry about the user name or
password. In the future, if Joe’s DocuShare password changes, only
the credential must be edited - not any of the forms using that
credential. All existing forms could still be used without
modification.

Updated or New Features in FlowPort
Managing Login Credentials
Login credentials can be created in a user’s profile (either by the
Admin or the FlowPort user). Click “Credentials” under
“Application Options.”

Updated or New Features in FlowPort
You also use the Application Option “Credentials” to edit existing
login credentials.
Name for these login credentials: the name you create should help
you easily identify the DocuShare server and username.
DocuShare User Name: a valid DocuShare user name for the
server.
DocuShare Password: the password for the user name entered
above.
Server Domain: leave this field blank unless instructed otherwise
by your FlowPort administrator.
Online help is available if you require additional assistance.

File Format For
Scanned Documents
(correction)
One of the options you can choose when scanning a document to an
email recipient is to “Send URL if available” (page 5-7 and 5-39).
You must ensure that the recipient has sufficient privileges to
access the URL in order to retrieve the document. This feature is
only available for URLs for DocuShare, Exchange 2000 and
Domino repositories.
When you are requested to enter “other repository information (for
example, see step 16 of the procedure to email a stored document
URL on page 5-8), make sure the username and password you enter
are for the repository, and not FlowPort.
Remote printers on which you will print FlowPort forms must be
lpr enabled. See page 5-12.
When you send a document to a remote printer, you can specify the
fully qualified name of the remote printer, or the printer’s IP
address. See page 5-15, Step 5.
Throughout Section 5 of the User Guide, there are several areas that
describe “File Format for Scanned Documents.” See Step 8 on page
5-4 as an example. The Note under the bullet “Other” is incorrect,
and should read:
Note: OCR is NOT performed if you select “TIFF” or “PDF Image
Only.” OCR is performed if you select “PDF (searchable text)” or
any of the other available file formats.
