Global Settings for an Image Database
Global settings designate the directory and path
where the scanned images and index records are stored. It also
holds dialog boxes used to "fine tune" the technical aspects of the
scan process. These features are set up when the image database is
being established and can be readjusted as needed.
NOTE: Changing the long
database name does not alter the file names of the database
components on the file server.
