1-4 Welcome to SMARTsend
SMARTsend Overview
SMARTsend combines and enhances many of the powerful features of two Xerox products—FlowPort™ and CentreWare™ Network Scanning Services—to deliver one integrated software application. Built on the Microsoft .NET platform, SMARTsend software works with new and legacy Xerox advanced multifunction systems, as well as many types of Internet Fax devices from Xerox and other manufacturers.
Using SMARTsend, paper documents can be scanned in full color and converted into a variety of industry standard digital formats, including PDF, JFIF/JPEG, TIFF, and Multi-Page TIFF formats. SMARTsend can also convert scanned documents into editable files such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint or searchable PDF. The resulting files can then be edited, manipulated, saved and shared. SMARTsend also allows the user to add descriptive information (also known as metadata) that will accompany the scanned documents. These versatile features make it simple to categorize, search and retrieve scanned documents.
Web-based application
SMARTsend is a web-based application that requires no additional client software. Users can easily create workflows that define the type of scanned document, the distribution locations and processes, and the methods and devices that can be used to submit SMARTsend scan jobs. The workflow is then published to make it available to users as device scan templates, or as PaperWare cover sheets (Professional Edition). These publications make it simple for anyone to scan a document and distribute the resulting electronic file(s) to a wide variety of destinations, including e-mail addresses, network folders, FTP folders, remote printers, external applications, Web URLs, Domino and Domino.doc repositories, Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server repositories, and Xerox DocuShare respositories. Additional destinations, such as advanced document management repositories, can be added as optional components.
Ease of use
SMARTsend is designed for ease of use, versatility, and security. Wizards assist users with complex tasks, and descriptive instructions, status messages, and help system information accompany all SMARTsend screens. Users can set up e-mail and printed confirmation reports, and administrators can create job logs to track usage and obtain audit trails in support of legal and regulatory requirements. Where security is important, SMARTsend stands above the competition with support for the latest secure protocols and secure web site configuration options. In addition, the open and flexible .NET architecture permits easy integration with other programs and provides the flexibility to expand capabilities and features as Xerox makes future enhancements available.

My Credentials
Scanning credentials are needed for all scanning destinations that require credentials for storing and filing scan documents, e.g., DocuShare, Domino, Microsoft Exchange, FTP, NetWare Folder, Network Folder, or Microsoft SharePoint. The My Credentials region enables you to add or modify credentials (login user name/password) for scanning document destinations.
Add a New Credential
You will be prompted to add credentials for new destinations when you add a new workflow. See Adding a Distribution Workflow on page 3-5. You may also add credentials for new destinations using the Add a New Credential link on the User Home Page. For more information on adding credentials, see Managing Destination Credentials on page 3-13.
Manage My Credentials
When credentials on an existing destination have changed, the new credentials must be reflected on the SMARTsend computer or the workflow scanning job will fail. You can manage credentials for destinations using the Manage My Credentials link. For more information on changing or deleting credentials, see
Managing Destination Credentials on page 3-13.

Manage My Document Attribute Profiles
This link takes you to the Manage Document Profiles page. Document attributes are pieces of additional information which can be added to each scanned document to describe the document—information such as document version, document title, or document description. These document attributes can be created when a workflow is created and will be applied when the workflow is scanned.
The SMARTsend installation comes with pre-packaged sets of document attributes, also called document profiles. All document attribute profiles are publicly accessible by all SMARTsend users. The document profiles displayed during workflow creation are filtered by workflow document destinations. For example, FTP Only is a document profile for an FTP destination and will only be displayed when a workflow has an FTP destination.
The Manage Document Profiles page will display all document profiles in the system. From this page document profiles can be deleted by the workflow owner or by an administrator. Custom document attribute profiles can be created during workflow creation. See Document Attribute Profiles on page 3-35 for details on managing document profiles.
Personalize Your PaperWare Form Scan Settings
Professional Edition Feature
This link allows you to publish templates with customized scan settings for PaperWare cover sheets.
During device configuration, a PaperWare template (named PaperWare) is automatically published for each device configured for the application. This PaperWare template uses a set of default scan settings.
If you often choose alternate settings at the Xerox Multifunction Device when using the PaperWare form, you may publish a new device template with the desired scan settings. When scanning at the device using a PaperWare cover sheet, you then select the new template rather than the default PaperWare template. See Customizing PaperWare Scan Settings on page 5-2 for more information on personalizing PaperWare scan settings.

Workflow Overview
SMARTsend uses the concept of workflows to manage how scanned documents are converted to a digital format and then routed to various destinations. For example, a workflow can be created that will convert paper documents to PDF files and then route the PDF files to a document repository such as a DocuShare repository. The workflow can also specify multiple destinations, such as e-mail accounts, network folders, or any combination of document repositories.
Workflows offer:
Automation of frequently used tasks and settings
Versatile security options
Simple use and maintenance
Workflows are a convenient method of combining scan job settings such as destinations, document name and type, document attributes, and imaging settings into a single entity that can be used and reused whenever appropriate. The Document Name and Type are properties that define and describe a scanned document. Defining the basic attributes for the scanned document, such as the file name and the type of digital format (for example, PDF, JFIF, Single-Page TIFF, Multi-Page TIFF, etc.), are essential to creating a usable workflow. SMARTsend also provides a way to add optional document attributes, commonly referred to as metadata, to scanned documents. These attributes are stored with the digital document and can be used to automate document storage, retrieval, and management tasks.
Workflows can be designated as either public or private. Public workflows are available for use by all SMARTsend users to view, use, and edit. Private workflows can be viewed, used, and edited only by the workflow owner (workflow creator). SMARTsend administrators can list and delete private workflows, but cannot view or edit them.
Workflows must be published to make them available for use when scanning documents. For information on publishing workflows, see Chapter 5, Publishing Workflows.
NOTE: Search workflows can also be created if the optional TrueMatch component is installed with SMARTsend Professional Edition. See Chapter 4, Search Workflows for more information.

3-4 Distribution Workflows
Adding a Distribution Workflow
There are two ways to create a workflow. A new workflow can be created by using a wizard which steps the user through the process of defining the workflow. Alternatively, a new workflow can be created by basing the new workflow on an existing workflow.
Creating a New Distribution Workflow
Any user can create a new workflow. A wizard leads the user through the steps necessary to define the workflow, including defining the document destinations, defining the filename and formats, specifying the document attributes, and determining the workflow settings.
To create a new distribution workflow:
1Navigate to the User Home Page and click Add New Distribution Workflow under the Workflows heading.
2Select the desired destinations for the scanned output files. For destinations that have already been configured, checkboxes will be displayed. Select a configured destination by selecting the checkbox for the destination. If a desired destination is not listed, go to the destination type and click add locations. See Document Destinations on page 3-10 for detailed information on adding destinations.
3Click Next >>.
4Specify the document name and type. See Document Name and Type on page 3-25 for detailed information.
5Click Next >>.
6Specify the document attributes. See Document Attributes on page 3-35 for detailed information.
7Click Next >>.
8Specify the workflow settings. See Save Workflow on page 3-41 for detailed information on specifying workflow settings.
9Click Next >>.
10At the Save Workflow page review the workflow details specified in the previous steps. If something needs to be changed, click the Change buttons on the page to return to the previous screens. Otherwise, click Finish to create the workflow.
If you specify that the workflow is to be published later, you will be returned to the User Home Page. Otherwise, the appropriate Publish Workflow page will be displayed. See Chapter 5, Publishing Workflows for information on publishing workflows.
Adding a Distribution Workflow |
3-5 |
Creating a Workflow from an Existing Workflow
Sometimes a new workflow may be needed that is similar to an existing workflow, except that a different document destination or some other property of the workflow needs to be altered. Rather than creating a new workflow, you can make the needed changes to the existing workflow and save it under a different name.
NOTE: In order to create a new workflow from an existing one, you must edit the existing workflow. See Editing a Workflow on page 3-7 for information on editing a workflow.
To create a new workflow from one that already exists:
1Navigate to the User Home Page and click View All Workflows.
2From the list of workflows in the Workflow Explorer select the workflow that you want to use as the basis of the new workflow.
3Click Edit this workflow from the Workflow Tasks list on the left side. The Save Workflow page will be displayed.
4Before making any other changes, you should rename the workflow. Change the workflow name and click Save As. The Workflow Explorer window will be displayed, and the new workflow will now be in the list of workflows. This workflow is identical to the workflow on which it was based, except that it now has a different name.
5To make additional changes, follow the steps in Editing a Workflow on page 3-7.
NOTE: If you are saving the workflow of another user, you will need to add credentials for the destinations. The workflow always uses the credentials of the owner. If you do not add new credentials at the time you create the workflow, you will be prompted to add them when the workflow is published. See Add a New Credential on page 2-6 for information on adding credentials.
3-6 Distribution Workflows
Editing a Workflow
Any user can edit a public workflow. Only the workflow owner (i.e., creator) can edit a private workflow. Workflows are edited with the Workflow Editor.
NOTE: You can only save changes to a workflow if it has not been published. If the workflow has already been published, you must save the changes as a new workflow by clicking Save As. If you want to edit a published workflow, you can delete all publications using the Delete this workflow’s publications task and then edit and save the edited workflow.
To access the Workflow Editor:
1Navigate to the User Home Page and click View All Workflows. If you are editing your own workflow, you can also click Manage My Workflows.
2From the list of workflows in the Workflow Explorer select the workflow you want to edit.
3Click Edit this workflow from the Workflow Tasks list on the left side. The Save Workflow page will be displayed.
NOTE: If you are editing the workflow of another user, you will need to add credentials for the destinations. The workflow always uses the credentials of the owner at scan time. If you do not add new credentials at the time you edit the workflow, you will be prompted to add them when the workflow is published. See Add a New Credential on page 2-6 for information on adding credentials.
4From the Save Workflow page you can modify the Workflow Name and Description, as well as the Publication Options. You can also modify any of the editable workflow properties using the Change buttons. There are Change buttons for each of the main workflow components.
a)Workflow Settings—click the Change Settings button to modify the settings on the Workflow Settings page. See Save Workflow on page 3-41 for additional information.
