Operator Screens and Tasks

The following is a summary of the Operator screens and their controls. In many cases, this document provides links to additional information.

The navigation available during initial access is as follows:

Administrator Navigation from the Landing Page at Login

Once you navigate into the user interface, you can expand the navigation pane on the far left for access to these same screens. This menu contains the same options as the login screen, and appears as follows:

(expanding navigation pane on left)

Note: These menus contain slightly different names. However, the target screens are the same with both menus.

View Batches (Batch List)

The main purpose of this screen is to show the list of batch instances which are either in READY_FOR_REVIEW and READY_FOR_VALIDATION state.

The Batch List screen is divided into 3 parts:

  1. Batch List Charts
  2. Batch List Option Panel
  3. Batch List Grid

Access — There are two ways to access this screen, as follows:

  • During initial login, navigate to Operator home screen > View My Batches:

Login access for View My Batches

  • Inside Transact (having already logged in), expand the navigation pane on the left, then select Operator > Batch List.

By default, when opening the Batch List screen, the Review tab will be selected.

Upon opening the batch list screen, batches that are in Ready for Review state will be shown. In cases where no batches are present in the Ready for Review state, this is because of filter settings, or because no batch is present in that state.

The following snapshot illustrates the Batch List or View Batches screen:

For additional information about batch instance review and the Batch List, refer to the following article:

Open Next Batch (Review Validate)

The Review and Validation screen define the operations that can be done on a batch in review or validation state, respectively. During either Review or Validation stage, the user can perform various operations on the batch like classifying, splitting, copying, deleting the document, and so on. For either screen, various plugin properties can be set for batches that are in review or validation.

Access — There are two ways to access the Review or Validation screens, as follows:

  • During initial login, navigate to the Operator home screen > Open Next Batch:

Login access for Open Next Batch

  • Inside Transact (having already logged in), expand the navigation pane on the left, then select Operator > Review Validate.

Scan New Documents (Web Scanner)

Ephesoft Transact allows users to directly scan documents using high-speed scanners and process them efficiently. The Web Scanner is fast and easy to use.

However, please note that in older software releases, the Web Scanner mechanism was not supported by all common browsers, and required changes in the methodology.

Effective with Release 4.5.0.0, the Advanced Web Scanner Service provides a more secure and improved process of scanning the images. The user can download the Advanced Web Scanner Service on their client machines and can configure the switch for storing the scanned images on the local system or server (TIFF files will always be stored on the server as they are used for OCR processing). Another switch can be configured for backward compatibility if you wish to use the existing process.

Another major enhancement in the Advanced Web Scanner Service is that the service now supports both the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

Access — There are two ways to access the scan screen, as follows:

  • During initial login, navigate to Operator home screen > Scan New Documents:

Login access for Scan New Documents

  • Inside Transact (having already logged in), expand the navigation pane on the left, then select Operator > Web Scanner.
