Automating document workflows using Tungsten OmniPage allows you to convert physical scans, PDFs, and images into editable, searchable digital files completely unattended. By utilizing built-in scheduling, folder watching, and customized processing steps, teams can eliminate manual data entry and streamline routing. Core Automation Features in OmniPage
OmniPage relies on three key tools to run background, touch-free processes:
Workflow Assistant: The core tool used to build step-by-step instructions (Load →right arrow →right arrow Save) without manual intervention.
DocuDirect: A scheduling application within OmniPage Ultimate that runs background OCR jobs at specific intervals or times.
Watched Folders & Mailboxes: Automated triggers that look for incoming files in network folders or Outlook/Lotus Notes email attachments. Step-by-Step: Setting Up a Automated Workflow
To build a fully automated document pipeline, follow this standard structure:
[Trigger: File Dropped in Folder] ➔ [OmniPage OCR & Auto-Zoning] ➔ [Export: PDF/Word Saved to Cloud] 1. Define the Triggers (Get Page)
Folder Watching: Select Folder watching job in the DocuDirect Job Wizard to prompt OmniPage to monitor a network drive or scanner output folder.
Mailbox Watching: Set up your job to automatically pull scanned papers or PDFs directly from a designated Microsoft Outlook inbox. 2. Configure Recognition & Extraction (Process) OCR Software Solutions – OmniPage – Tungsten Automation
