Introduction
Welcome to the comprehensive guide on effectively utilizing the document management features in SCView. This guide provides detailed instructions on how to search, copy, and paste documents within the system. By mastering these functionalities, users can efficiently handle and manipulate documents to suit their operational needs.
A. Problem statement
Managing digital documents in a large system can often become cumbersome, especially when it involves locating specific files, making duplicates, or relocating content within the organization's database. Users may struggle with time-consuming searches, risk of data inconsistency during copying, and the potential loss of information when handling document operations incorrectly.
B. Solution
SCView addresses these challenges by offering a robust document management system with intuitive search functionalities and flexible copy/paste options. Users can quickly locate documents using tailored search criteria, securely copy and paste documents while retaining data consistency, and choose between duplicating with pre-filled indexes or starting with a blank document. This system ensures that document handling is both efficient and adaptable to various user requirements.
Step 1: Accessing the Search Functionality
Begin by navigating to the Search tab within SCView. This is your starting point for locating any document within the system.
Step 2: Locating the Document
Utilize the search tool to find the specific document you need. Enter relevant search criteria to refine your results and quickly locate the desired file.
Step 3: Copying the Document
Once you have located the document, right-click on the page you wish to copy and select Copy from the context menu. This action prepares the document for duplication.
Note: Cutting the document works the same as copying; HOWEVER, it will remove the document from its original location.
Step 4: Pasting the Document
Right-click again in the area where you intend to place the copy. Select Paste Page and choose from the following options:
- Paste to New Document: This option will create a new document and autofill the fields based on the edit order set in the Document Type Indexes. It's useful for maintaining data consistency across similar documents.
- Paste to New Document without Indexes: Choose this option to start with a blank version of the form. This is ideal for custom entries or when starting fresh data input is needed.
C. Best Practices
- Utilize Advanced Search Options: Leverage filters and advanced search criteria to narrow down search results, making document retrieval faster and more accurate.
- Verify Before Cutting: Always double-check the documents and their locations before using the Cut feature to prevent unintentional removal and data loss.
D. Troubleshooting
- Document Not Found: Ensure the search terms are correctly spelled and align with the document’s metadata. Try broadening your search criteria if initial attempts fail.
