PaperTrack comes in 3 versions. You may purchase any version, and if you
upgrade into a larger version (and have kept your PMA up to date) we will
give you a 100% software credit on your upgrade purchase, based on your
original purchase price.
Small Business Edition
The smallest version is the Small Business Edition (SBE), which uses a
relational database known as MSDE. A sort of "mini" SQL . It's not as
powerful as a full blown SQL database, but then, you don't need
the expense or the maintenance costs of a full blown SQL database either.
The features include:
Scanning - Interface for most Twain compliant scanners for each
seat purchased.
Indexing- Each document is identified and indexed via keywords.
Searching- Each seat allows for search and retrieval via a
Windows network.
Retrieval- Each search is returned on a list that is further
sortable via its return values in ascending or descending order.
Display - Retrieved documents can be viewed, printed, checked
out, marked up with text comments, stamps, highlights, redactions, etc.
Import/Export- One or many documents can be imported. Each
imported document
is indexed into the system via the index area.
Storage- Storage Platters are set up by physical size and
location. Sizes are predetermined by you. When a platter volume reaches the
limit, a new platter volume is created. The previous platter volume can be
burned to CD, DVD etc.
Auto Populate Tables- Use a unique value to define a table of
related field values, so when your indexing, you could enter a unique
value such as a social security number, and that person's name and address
information would be automatically entered into the index fields for you.
Fast, efficient indexing.
Options
The optional functions that can be purchased to work with the Small
Business Edition include:
Seat Licenses- The SBE uses MSDE. a "mini-SQL" database.
Therefore, the limits on this type of database require us to limit the
number of user licenses to a maximum of 10, or a maximum record count of 1
million.
OCR- This option will allow end users to create a
text file of the scanned image. Optical Character Recognition is used to
create the text file. OCR can be used on a batch of scanned documents, or an
individual image. Also, with the OCR function, the end user will be
able to draw a box or "zone" around a line of text on the screen. The line
becomes digitized into text characters. If a person was indexing
documents, the person would not have to type any characters, just draw a
Zonal OCR box around any characters on the scanned image that you need to
enter for that index field, PaperTrack does the rest.
PT-Capture- This function will install "like a printer". The
design is for a user to "print" electronically to a file, instead of output
to a printer on hard copy paper. For example if you were working in a text
file, and you wanted to place an "un-editable" copy of the file into
PaperTrack, you could use the PT-Capture function. This would generate an
electronic file (a raster or tiff file) that would be the same as if you had printed
the file and then scanned the file back into PaperTrack. PT-Capture saves
you a lot of time and steps.
PT-AppLink- This functionality allows the end user to
have a direct
interface with another Windows application and the PaperTrack system. The
purpose of this would be to "search" PaperTrack while operating inside
another application. For example, if you were in an accounting application,
and you wanted to see the scanned image of the check number you see in your
accounting screen, you could use PT-AppLink to use that check number to
automatically launch PaperTrack and search, then display that check image,
from the check number displayed in your accounting program. Once installed
and configured, a simple press of a function key (F5) would instantly
perform this valuable function.
