Question about the possibilities of OpenKM

[Freedom555]

Good day,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but anyway.
Can OpenKM be configured/used in the following way:
1) You scan in 10 pages and receive them as one file. Ability to quickly look over each page and sort them. For example the page 1 is category A and page 2 is category B and page 3 is unusuable and can be discarded. So you would have 2 or more files as PDF/TIFF like CategoryA.pdf and CategoryB.pdf etc. So you can send the following files to different places to be sorted/archived.

Thanks a lot!

Well it's really a scanning problem, you're planning to scan each page in separe document.pdf and after it catalog.

It can be make but not directly with scanning tool integrated in OpenKM UI. It must be done by thirdparty scanning software and then uploading files to OpenKM. This thirdparty scanning software can be integrated with OpenKM.

Hello everyone,
Are posibilities of OpenKM such as:
- upload directory of documents;
- update user UI when new documents are added to repository;

Thanks in advance.

About uploading directory you've got several option:
1- upload a zip and explode all content ( that's from openkm version 2.x )
2- upload folder using drag and drop with your desktop ( only available at 5.0 -> actual online demo, last right button in toolbar )

About update UI when documents are added to repository:
OpenKM UI has no live connections to server, in order to make minimal stress as possible ... that's the ajax idea ... here are several possibilities depending which is your problem ... if you're in folder and what to be notified by server in order to refreshing your view ... that can be done as a OpenKM extension in simply way ( a background process that periodically - configurable time - demands it information to server ( are new files in path since time XXX, it's and easy query ) and if the result is afirmative then refreshing UI ), really simply.

In other hand each time you make some click ... hope you observate ... we try refreshing major information ( files ... tree subfodlers etc.... ) the idea is refreshing your snapshot view ... that produces lower server stress and really it's what major people needs.

I think your scenario is some user that's so much time in same folder view, and want to be communite by system that there's something new, no ? but consider any operation is made by this user ... edit document, uploading etc... will refreshing all information is viewing.
