Automatic uploading

If you selected Upload documents automatically when configuring ReadSoft Online Connect for uploading documents, no interaction is required. When files are moved to the subfolder(s) of the location you specified in the configuration, they are automatically uploaded.

ReadSoft Online Connect runs continuously in the background as a Windows service and periodically checks (every 15 minutes by default) for new files to upload. When new files are found, they are uploaded automatically. Even if you restart the computer, ReadSoft Online Connect runs automatically in the background with no need for interaction. If a problem occurs during the upload, the upload operation will timeout after 10 minutes.

Most users use automatic uploading, and set up their scanners to save files directly in the appropriate subfolders that are created during the configuration.

Note If you have more than one document type, but you place files in the parent folder of the document type folders, the files are uploaded and processed using the Default document type specified in the Extraction service settings.

Manual uploading

If you did not select Upload documents automatically when configuring ReadSoft Online Connect, you can upload files manually at your convenience:

  1. Start ReadSoft Online Connect from the Windows Start menu.
