Selecting Filing Databases

When the Print to Image-Master filing screen is first invoked, the Image-Master default database will be selected. If no default database has been configured for the workstation, Print to Image-Master will prompt for a database:

Click [Yes] to invoke the Select Image-Master Database dialog.

Click [No] to abandon the document filing task and exit the Print to Image-Master system.

When the Print to Image-Master filing screen is active, the database to which the document will be saved can be changed by clicking on the [Change Database] button. Once a new database is chosen using the Select Image-Master Database dialog box, the database will be used for subsequent Print to Image-Master requests until:

a. a different database is chosen.

b. the Print to Image-Master processing engine screen is exited.

c. the user is logged off of Windows.

d Windows is shut down or restarted.

NOTE: After events b, c, and d, the Image-Master default database will be selected the next time a Print to Image-Master job is created.

Select Image-Master Database Dialog Box

[Change Drive/Dir] - Allows selection of a different drive, network path, UNC, or base directory to be chosen. This function updates the available database list with databases from the chosen base path.

[Set as Default] - (Unavailable in Print To Image-Master) Sets the selected data base in the available database list as the default database when Image-Master, Print to Image-Master, or File to Image-Master is first started.

[Select] - If the highlight bar in the available database list is on a database, this function chooses the database currently highlighted in the available database list and closes the dialog box. If the highlight bar in the available database list is on a directory (names enclosed in square brackets [ ]), this function navigates into the directory, updates the base path and updates the available database list with databases from the chosen base path.

[Cancel] - Closes the Select Image-Master Database dialog box without specifying or changing the database currently in-use.
