Version 10 - December 21 2015
SOHODOX Framework Enhanced
The underlying framework of SOHODOX has been completely overhauled. This has taken us a couple of years to accomplish and we are very proud of what we pulled off. Since the framework is behind the scenes, in this release you may not see too many visible changes. However our work on the framework enables us to add new exciting features faster, fix reported bug fixes faster and release updates faster.
We have a long list of new features and enhancements lined up for the immediate future. If all goes well you will start seeing new SOHODOX releases with new features every few weeks!
Some of the new features in this release are listed below...
Edit a saved query
You can now edit saved queries in SOHODOX
Search & Highlight Text (beta)
You can now see the values you searched for, highlighted within the found documents. This feature only works with PDF files and is currently in beta (we are working on improving the implementation).
Document can now be part of multiple folders (beta)
A document can now be part of multiple folders Simply press the ALT key, while dragging and dropping a document from one folder to another folder . The document will now appear in both folder. Please note two copies of the document are not made. So if you delete the document it will go away from all the folders it was in. This feature is currently in beta and its implementation may change based on user feedback.
New password Policies added to SOHODOX

Sohodox Drive
Sohodox Drive appears like any other drive in Windows Explorer and the File Open box. So whenever you want to access a file from any Windows application, the virtual drive like any other drive, will be available giving you access to all the documents that you are authorized to view. What’s more, you can also attach documents from the repository when you reply to email messages. Sohodox allows you to access folders, tags as well as various document types. And, if you make any changes, you can also check-in the revised document back in the repository. You can also view, search and edit documents using this drive. Click here to learn more about Sohodox Drive.
Capture Folders
Capture folders are special folders which let you quickly add documents to Sohodox without starting the Sohodox Desktop Client.
You can create and configure multiple folders to capture documents and add them to Sohodox directly. Each folder can be associated with a DB and a Destination Profile. The Capture Folders can then be used when adding documents via other modules like Sohodox Drive, Send To and Virtual Printer. Click here, to learn more about Capture Folders
For users upgrading from an older version of Sohodox, Folder Monitor has now been renamed to Local Capture Folder.
Mobile Apps
Sohodox Mobile App is now available for Android and iOS based mobile devices. With a beautiful, simple and responsive user interface, the app makes navigation quick and easy. Folders, Tags and Document Types are all available at your finger tips! The app allows users to access, view, delete and download files. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Click here, to learn more...
Virtual Printer
Sohodox now lets you print any file format using the Sohodox Virtual Printer and save it as a PDF file in Sohodox. Once you print a document to the Sohodox Printer, the capture folder will be displayed. Select the folder you want to add it to. The document will now be added to Sohodox in PDF format. You can also print Web Pages and directly add them in PDF format in Sohodox. Click here, to learn more...
Send To
Using the Send To >> Sohodox option in the contextual menu, you can quickly add files to Sohodox without using Sohodox.. All you need to do is just right click on the file you want to add to Sohodox and select the Send To>> Sohodox option. A list of capture Folders will be displayed. Select the folder you want to add it to. The document will now be added to Sohodox. Click here, to learn more...
Sohodox Server
Sohodox Server is a service which runs in the backgound when Sohodox is installed. By default it runs under port 7733. The Server needs to be running for Sohodox Desktop Client and all other modules including the Sohodox Mobile App to work. Click here, to learn more...
Change in Login dialog
Users upgrading from an older version of Sohodox will now experience a change in the Login dialog. Now the Login dialog is designed in such a way that The Sohodox Desktop Client and all modules like Virtual Printer, Send To and Sohodox drive will use the same login credentials. Only one license will be consumed by all the modules on a single machine. You will not be able to login with multiple users to different modules on a single machine. To know more about the change, click here
Import from Folders in Scan window
Sohodox now lets you add pre-scanned files to the Sohodox Scan window. Once these files are added Sohodox will treat them as normal scanned files and will let you perform additional powerful scanning features already available in the Scan window. To know more, click here.
Sohodox Version 8.3.0.11 - June 17 2013
Minor bug fixes.
Sohodox Version 8.3.0.7 - June 03 2013
Merge pages option
You can now merge two or more scanned pages and save them as PDF or TIFF files. For more info see, Merging two or more scanned documents
Sohodox Version 8.2.0.13 - April 18 2013
Watermark
You can now add a Watermark to certain types of documents in Sohodox (e.g. PDF, TIFF, PNG). For example if a document is confidential then putting a watermark with the text "CONFIDENTIAL" on the document makes it easy to identify. You can choose to choose any text with any size and font as a watermark. This helps you make sure that private or confidential documents are not being distributed or misused.
Preview of MS Outlook MSG files has been improved.
Sohodox Version 8.1.0.6 - December 14 2012
Minor bug fixes.
Sohodox Version 8.0.0.46 - October 01 2012
Support for Windows 8
Sohodox now supports both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows.
Dropbox integration for documents that are in Sohodox
We have made it easy for you to access your Sohodox documents from anywhere using devices like smartphones, tablets and even your web browser!
Any document in Sohodox can now be made available in Dropbox.Dropbox is a free service that lets you access your important files anywhere. Any file you save to your Dropbox will automatically save to all your computers, phones and even the Dropbox website.
To learn more about Dropbox integration in Sohodox, see Dropbox integration for documents that are in Sohodox.
For users upgrading from version 7.6 and older: If you had created a tag called Dropbox in Sohodox then upon updating your Sohodox installation, that tag will automatically be converted to the special Dropbox tag. The documents you had added to that tag will stay as they were, but the icon for the Dropbox tag will change to a 'cloud' icon. If you want to remove your existing documents from that tag (or not sync them), you need to create a new tag and move your existing documents to it.
Renaming tags
From this version, Sohodox lets you rename tags too just like you can rename folders. Simply right-click the tag in the Tags node and then click Rename. Type the new name and press Enter to save it. For steps, see Rename a Tag.
Virtual Duplex Scanning mode
Sohodox has always supported duplex scanning i.e. scanning both sides of a page and storing them in the correct order in a PDF or TIFF file. However this required your scanning to have built-in support for duplex scanning. With the new Virtual Duplex scanning mode, Sohodox can now handle duplex scanning even with scanners which do not have built-in support for duplex scanning.
This is how it works...
Put a stack of documents in to your scanner’s ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). Sohodox will scan the front side of each document. Now simply flip the stack of documents and place them in your scanner’s ADF. Sohodox will now scan the reverse side of all the documents in the stack. After this Sohodox will automatically re-arrange the scanned pages so that the reverse side of each scanned page comes immediately after the front side of that page in the PDF or TIFF file.
The virtual duplex mode also works if your scanner does not have an ADF (i.e. you scan using the flatbed of your scanner). However in this case, you have to individually flip each page after its front side is scanned.
Scanning and Scan window simplified...
| 1. | New scan profiles added (these are only visible in new Sohodox installations). |
| 2. | You can now automatically despeckle scanned images. |
| 3. | Virtual Duplex Scanning supported (this option is only displayed when the selected scanner does not have built-in support for duplex scanning) |
| 4. | DPI settings are now adjusted dependent on the scanner. |
| 5. | Quality of Black and White scanned images has been improved. |
| 6. | Separator pages (Blank page or Barcode) are now displayed in the Scan Preview window so you can see if a non-separator page has been wrongly detected as a separator page. |
| 7. | The Scan Preview window now allows you to select a Page view (each scanned page displayed as a single thumbnail) or Document view (each scanned multi-page document displayed as single thumbnail) of the scanned documents. |
| 8. | When documents are duplex scanned, the Scan Preview window makes it easy to differentiate between the front and reverse of the document. |
Batch-updating of multiple documents with common information
Sohodox now lets you update common information for multiple documents together. You can select multiple documents and update the following common information for them:
| 1. | Set a document title (All the selected documents will then have the same title) |
| 2. | Assign a document type (The same document type will be set for all the selected documents) |
| 3. | Enter indexing information for that document type (All the selected documents will have the same indexing information) |
| 4. | Assign the same tags (All selected documents will have the same tags) |
| 5. | Choose a folder (All the selected documents will be assigned to the chosen folder) |
This feature will save your time and effort as you won’t need to update information individually for each document. You will be able to do it in a single batch.
Auto Save indexing information
In previous versions, Sohodox required you to manually save any changes to a document's indexing information. But from this version, Sohodox gives you the option to automatically save the changes you made to the indexing information of the document. To activate the option, go to Options --> User Options --> Auto Save and check the Automatically save changes to indexing information box.
Copy/Paste text from a scanned document into an indexing field
While entering indexing information for a document, sometime the values you need to enter are already present in the document. So it can save a lot of time and typing mistakes if you can just copy them from the document preview pane and paste them into the field. This new feature allows you to do just that. Simply select the area of the scanned page which has the text you need and copy it. Sohodox will OCR that selection, convert the selection into text and copy it to the clipboard. All you have to do is paste the information into the right indexing field. For steps, see second Note under Enter Indexing Information for a Document.
Preview of MS Outlook email messages now supported
Sohodox now supports previewing of .msg files imported from MS Outlook.
Documents hyperlinked to their Folder
For every document in Sohodox, until now you could see the folder in which it is stored. It could be seen under Information panel --> Information tab --> Other Information --> Related Folder. But you could not quickly jump to that folder. Now Sohodox automatically creates a hyperlink to the folder so that when you click the link, it jumps to that folder, where you can see the other related documents in that folder. This feature also lets you quickly switch from the document to its folder in just one click, thereby saving your time.
Replace Document by Scanning
Now you can replace an existing document in Sohodox with a document you are about to scan. All you need to do is right-click the document and select Replace by Scanning from the menu. This will bring up the scan window. Scan the appropriate document just as you normally would. The scanned document will automatically replace the existing document. The file name will change to the new document’s file name, but the document title will remain unchanged. The older document (the document being replaced) will be removed. For steps, see Replace Document by Scanning.
Indexing field setting remembered
The Information tab in the Preview pane displays the indexing information of the document. You can choose to view the indexing fields in a single column or double column view. In previous versions, if you switched to a different view and then previewed another document, Sohodox would revert to the original column setting. But now Sohodox retains the setting until you change the setting again.
Zoom level of documents remembered
In previous versions, if you changed the zoom level of a document in the Preview pane, Sohodox would return to the default level when you switched to another document. But from this version, Sohodox remembers the zoom level you last selected and retains it across all documents until you change it. In fact, it remembers the same zoom level even if you logout and log back in.
No prompt when assigning/editing/deleting a tag from a document
In previous versions of Sohodox, if you added a tag to a document and hit the Enter key, it would display a confirmation message. This message was not required. So we have done away with it.
Block Indexing
By default, Sohodox automatically begins to index a newly added/modified document in the background. Sometimes the documents can be very large (taking up too much processing time to index) or just unindexable (for e.g. photos which have no text which can be recognized or extracted). Also sometimes Sohodox can have trouble indexing a particular document. With this version, Sohodox lets you block the indexing process for such documents. For steps, see Block Indexing.
Two new Command Line Options added
Two new Command Line Options have been added in this version of Sohodox. They are: Reset Cache DB and Reset User Profile. To learn more about them, see Command Line Options.
Sohodox Version 7.6.0.7 - February 06 2012
Merging one Tag with another
Now you can merge one tag with another tag. This will delete the tag that is merged, remove that tag from all documents that bear it; and automatically add the other tag to these documents. When you click the Tags node in the Navigation pane, you will see these documents added to the other tag. This feature helps you in case you misspelled a tag while adding it to a document. To replace the incorrect tag with the correct one, you need not edit the tag individually in each document separately. You can simply create a new tag and merge the incorrect tag into the correct one. This feature also helps in rectifying situations where multiple users accidentally create similar tags. To learn more, see Merge Tags.
Sorting of Destination Profile list
Until now, if you wanted to view the Destination Profiles you have saved in Sohodox, the Destination Profile drop-down would not display the list in an alphabetical order. But now, Sohodox displays the profile list in the drop-down in an alphabetical order.
Thunderbird 9.x drag & drop mail Support
Now you can drag and drop your emails from Thunderbird version 9.x onwards, into Sohodox. These email messages will be displayed in the Preview pane in Sohodox.
Sohodox Version 7.6.0.0 - January 13 2012
Language Support
From version 7.6, the Sohodox setup will be separately available with user interfaces in English, Spanish, French and Slovak. Although the user interface (menus, messages etc.) is now available in the above mentioned languages in addition to English, you can store documents and data in any language in Sohodox.
Display of EML file in Preview Pane
Prior to version 7.6, viewing an email message stored in EML format required you to have MS Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail installed on your machine. But now Sohodox natively supports viewing EML files in the Preview Pane. So email messages including those downloaded by the Email Capture module can be viewed without needing MS Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail installed on your machine.
Sohodox Version 7.3.1.7 - September 22 2011
Import and store Email Attachments as separate documents in Sohodox
Email Capture can now handle in a better way, email messages which have attachments. You can configure Sohodox Email Capture such that, whenever an email message with attachments is detected, the attachments will be stored as separate documents. They will automatically be linked to their corresponding email message. So for example if an email message with a single attachment is captured, Sohodox will create two documents, the email message itself and the attached file. Both the documents will be linked to each other. For more information, see Import email attachments as separate documents.
Support for password protected files
Inbuilt viewer for MS Word and MS Excel now supports viewing password protected .docx and .xlsx files.
Sohodox Version 7.2.0.10 - July 14 2011
Bug Fixes
Minor bugs have been fixed in this version of Sohodox.
Sohodox Version 7.1.1.5 - April 29 2011
Use Document Title as File name
Document Title specified by the user is now also used as the file name for scanned documents.
Sohodox Version 7.0.0.9 - March 04 2011
Minor bug fixes
Sohodox Version 7.0.0.8 - February 28 2011
Built-in Word and Excel Viewer
The new built-in Word and Excel Viewer allows you to view .doc, .docx, .xls and .xlsx files even if you do not have MS Office installed on your computer. What's more you can even annotate and stamp MS Word and MS Excel files the same way as you could with files such as TIFF and PDF files (annotations cannot be burned on MS Word or MS Excel files).
So how does this help?
Let us say you use Open Office Writer from Sun Microsystems, and your colleague uses MS Word. You have just received a Word document in Sohodox that has been created by them. If you didn't have version 7 of Sohodox, you would click the button at the top right of the preview pane ("Open this document for viewing in its associated application"). This would open the document in MS Word if you had it installed on your machine. But if you did not have MS Word installed, it would have given you an error message. But now that you have version 7, even if you do not have MS Word installed on your machine, you can still view the document with the built-in MS Word viewer.
Choose between built-in and third-party viewer for MS Word, MS Excel and PDF Files
Using the options dialog, you can now specifically configure what viewer you wish to use for MS Word, MS Excel AND PDF File. Learn more...
Lock Viewer settings for all users
Using the options dialog, you can now lock the file type viewer settings so that only the superadmin can change them. Learn more...
Background Text Extraction
In the earlier versions of Sohodox, whenever a document was added to Sohodox, the OCR/Text Extraction for the document was performed at the time of adding the document. But now this process will be performed in the background. This means adding multiple files (even hundreds of them at a time) to Sohodox will be much faster than before, as you will not need to wait to add the next file until the OCR/Text Extraction has been completed for the current file.
The text extraction only happens on the machine on which Sohodox is installed in server mode (a single user installation of Sohodox is always installed in server mode).
Since text extraction now happens in the background, the process continues even when you close Sohodox.
The background text extraction service can be viewed by exploring Control Panel>Administrative Tools >Services>ITAZ Sohodox Indexing Services under the Name column. A user can stop or restart this service by right clicking and selecting the Stop or Restart options.
Built-In Text Extractors
Sohodox now features built-in text extractors for popular file formats such as MS Word (.doc, .docx), MS Excel (.xls, .xlsx) and PDF files. This means you no more need to have iFilters installed on your machines for these file formats, as Sohodox can handle them on it's own.
Backup and Restore Utility
Sohodox now ships with a backup and restore utility which makes it very easy backup and restore your Sohodox DB. The utility support encrypted and multi-volume backups. Learn more...
Remember Layout
Now Sohodox will remember the width of the various panes that you set within the main window and within the document windows too. It will also remember the document window size you had set last time. So the next time you open the application or the resized document, it will open Sohodox with the pane and window sizes you had the last time when you closed the document or the main Sohodox window.
Sohodox Version 6.1.0.5 - February 09 2010
Error ignored when adding multiple files to Sohodox
While adding large number of files to Sohodox, if an error occurs for a file, that file will be skipped and Sohodox will continue adding the remaining files. After the addition is complete it will display the list of skipped files.
Confirmation sound when Ctrl + F7 is pressed
You will now hear a confirmation sound instead of the confirmation dialog being displayed, when you press the CTRL + F7 keys on the keyboard, to copy the full path of the document to the clipboard.
Sohodox Version 6.1.0.2 - December 31 2009
Copy the full path of the document to the clipboard
Press the CTRL + F7 keys on the keyboard, to copy the full path of the document to the clipboard. You can now paste the document's location to a data field or any application you want.

Sohodox Version 6.0.0.0 - October 16 2009
Email Capture
The Email Capture feature in Sohodox, downloads email messages from any POP3 mail server and adds them to Sohodox. Sohodox will automatically extract fields (To, From, Subject etc.) from each email and enter them as indexing information for that email in Sohodox. This makes all email messages immediately searchable. For More info, see Manage Emails in Sohodox
Folder Monitor
The Folder Monitor watches one or more specified folders on your disk and adds any files added to those folders to Sohodox. You can use this feature to directly add files to Sohodox even when Sohodox is not running. All you need to do is, add the files to the monitored folder and Folder Monitor will automatically add these files to Sohodox. This is also handy when working with Network Scanners which put the scanned documents in a folder. For more info, see Folder Monitor

The multi-user.gdx file is now saved at a new location
The multi-user.gdx file is now stored in the ITAZ\Sohodox folder created under the folder designated as the Common Application Data folder in your Windows installation. For Windows Vista/Windows 2008/Windows 7, this will be the C:\ProgramData\ITAZ\Sohodox folder. For Windows 2000/XP/2003 this will be C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ITAZ\Sohodox
Apart from multi-user.gdx file, the config.ini file is also stored in this folder.
Use document title as File name
You can now use the Document Title as the File name when exporting documents to a Windows folder, by using the Export wizard. For more info see, Export data to a CSV file
Sohodox Version 5.6.0.6 - October 07 2009
Add pages to existing Tiff and PDF documents, from the Pages panel.
You can now add pages to an existing multi-paged PDF and tiff files directly from the Pages panel. This reduces the number of clicks required to perform this task.
For more info see, Insert a page to a multi-paged document
Sohodox Version 5.6.0.1 - September 07 2009
Sohodox now loads much faster than before.
Sohodox Version 5.5.0.4 - August 07 2009
Print Advanced search conditions along with the search results
When you print search results that are displayed in the List View pane, you can now choose to print the conditions used in that search at the top of the search results. This feature helps in quickly identifying the conditions used to generate the search results. For more info see, Print the Search Results along with the Query Conditions
Sohodox Version 5.3.0.0 - July 06 2009
Delete button now deletes documents from a Folder, Document Type, Tag or from a Stack
Hitting the Delete button from anywhere in Sohodox will delete the selected document permanently. For more info see, Delete a Document
OCR document containing text in a different language
You can now OCR a document that contains text in language other than English. For e.g. if you have a document that contains text in the Danish language then you can configure the OCR engine to recognize the Danish language text. This option will only works if you are using the Microsoft Office OCR engine and only recognizes languages supported by the MS Office OCR engine. For more info see, OCR document that contains text in a different language
Separate option for OCR in the Options dialog
A separate option is now added to OCR documents on check-in. Earlier versions of Sohodox had just one option i.e. Automatically extract text on check-in option which would extract text as well as OCR documents. From this version onwards we have separated them, so if you want to only OCR image documents on adding, then check the Automatically OCR documents on check-in option and if you want to only extract text from text documents on adding then check the Automatically extract text on check-in option.
Customize Quick Search
You can now select the fields that you want to search in, using the Quick Search. For, e.g. in the earlier versions of Sohodox, the Quick Search would only search in the Document Title, File Name and the Document Text. Now, you can select any field (displayed in the List View) that you want to search in, by using the Customize Quick Search dialog.
The Customize Quick Search box can be accessed by clicking the Quick Search drop-down and selecting the Choose columns for Quick Search option. For more info see Select fields to include in Quick Search
Reactivate a deactivated user
You can now reactivate a deactivated Sohodox user. So if you have accidentally deactivated a user you can now activate it. For more info seeActivate a User Account
Document Type with an auto-generate field now shows up in the Scan window
Document Type that has an auto-generate field will now show up in the Scan window. You can now directly set the document type (that has an auto-generate field) of a scanned document.
In the previous version, Auto-generate fields were not displayed in the Document Type drop-down of the Scan window as they are required field. By default document types that have required fields are not shown in the Scan window, as it is not possible to add the required field value when scanning and adding multiple documents. As auto-generate field values are generated by the system, Sohodox can add the value for the auto-generate field when scanning and adding multiple documents.
Create sibling folder
You can create a sibling folder by right clicking a folder. If you use folders to manage your documents then you must have noticed that when you have a long list of folders then it becomes unmanageable to scroll every now and then to click the Create new button, to create a new folder. The same problem is also noticed when you have a long list of sub folders, you have scroll above to select the parent folder and then right click it to create a sub-folder.
Now, we have added the New Folder option on the Folder right click menu. Now, just select a folder right click it and select the New Folder option to create a sibling folder.
Export Folder Structure
You can now export Sohodox folders along with all the sub folders and documents to a destination on your local disk (retaining the folder hierarchy).
For more info see, Export Folder Structure
Inactivity time out option
You can now auto-logout an inactive user from Sohodox by using the Inactivity time out option. This option is available in System Options pane of the Options dialog. For more info see Inactivity Timeout
Specify document name while scanning a document
You can specify the Document title of the scanned document from the Scan window. The Document Title box is available in the Destination pane of the Scan Window.
For more info see, Specify Document Title of the scanned document
Sohodox Version 5.2.1.1 - June 16 2009

Sohodox Version 5.2.0.7 - May 27 2009
Auto-fill feature for PickList and Lookup field.
You can now just type in the value (at least 3 to 4 characters) you want to select in a PickList and Lookup field and Sohodox will automatically find remaining portion of the value and fill it in for you.
Sohodox Version 5.2.0.6 - May 27 2009

Initial Loading performance improved
Sohodox now loads much faster than before. The splash now displays the current status and progress.
Clone Folders
You can now create the same folder structure that you frequently use in Sohodox by using the Clone feature. For e.g. Let say to you create a same set folders for each customer. It will be tedious to create these folders if you have a hundred's of customers. By using the Clone feature you will have to create the folder structure just once and then clone/copy this structure whenever you want.
Command Line Options
You can now run Sohodox in maintenance mode by using the Command Line options.
Sohodox Version 5.1.1.4 - April 21 2009
Display of PDF files using Foxit software

Maximum size of documents to extract text from
You can now specify the size of the file that should be indexed by Sohodox. For e.g. you can choose to extract and index files that are less than 4 mb in size by using this option. Please note that this option is only available for MS Access DB.
By default the limit of the file size is set to 1 mb. This means that files larger then 1 mb will not be indexed. For slower machines it is recommended to choose a lower value. A larger value will affect the performance of MS Access DB . This option is useful in a multi-user scenario where you can disable extracting and indexing of text on slow machines for large files without disabling full text search.

Search centric design
Search is much faster than before.
Folders
Folders behave very similar to Windows Explorer folders. Create Folders and Sub-Folders to quickly categorize your documents.
Import entire folder structure
If you already have a well defined folder hierarchy in which you arrange your documents, you can easily import your documents along with your existing folder hierarchy in to Sohodox. The exact same folder hierarchy will be recreated in Sohodox.

Document Types
Separate documents into various types (e.g. bills, checks, letters) and store type specific information along with each document. For e.g. you can store Date and Amount with each bill and then easily find all bills greater than US $100 from January 2008. Similarly you may want to store Sender Name and Date along with each letter.
Annotation
With the annotation feature you can draw, highlight, stamp, write comments, etc. directly over any scanned document. You can choose to burn the annotations on the image, so they become permanent part of the image.
Electronic Signature
A scanned image of a user's signature can be stored and used as the user's electronic signature. It can be applied on any part of a scanned document.

1. PDF files created using Sohodox
Choose this option if you only want the PDF documents created using Sohodox (i.e. by saving a scanned document as PDF) to be displayed in the built in PDF viewer. In this case the PDF documents that are not created using Sohodox will be displayed using Adobe Reader.
2. All PDF files
Choose this option if you want all PDF documents (created using Sohodox or not) to be displayed in the built in PDF viewer.
New Comparison Operators
Two new comparison operators have been included in the Advanced search

Version 4.6.6 (August 13 2007)
Barcode Detection
doQuments now supports Code 128 barcodes. More barcode formats will be supported in the future.
Blank Page Detection Threshold
Default blank page threshold is now set to a lower value for more stricter detection of blank page.
A wrong detection at any stage of the batch scan means that all subsequent pages will be saved incorrectly. We recommend that you do a test run to find out the best value for your scanner. You must choose the lowest value which works correctly for you. (Click here for more details)
Minor bug fixes.
Version 4.6 (June 05 2007)
Barcode Detection
Using this feature doQuments can detect barcodes on any document being scanned (or even any supported image document added via drag & drop). The information contained in the detected barcodes can be automatically stored in data fields. You can select the data fields in which information from the barcodes must be stored. Please note you can only select Small text or Large text data fields to store the barcode information. You cannot use multi select data fields, list data fields or auto-generate data fields to store the barcode information.
doQuments supports Code 39 barcodes. More barcode formats will be supported in the future.
Options to perform barcode detection are available in the Batch Scan Wizard, Scan Panel and Scan Window. Bar codes on existing image documents can also be detected using the Detect Barcodes option on the Document menu.
Do not show records
Use this option if you do not want to show any records to be displayed when a DB is opened. Please note users will need to query the DB to view the records if this option is selected.
Note: Any records added by the user in the current session (that is after the user's latest login) will remain accessible to the user. To view these records, the user must use the "Show All Records" option on the Search menu. This option is normally used to remove any applied query and show all the records.
Version 4.5
doQuments is now integrated with Workflow.
Version 4.4 (May 04 2007)
doQuments uses a new and improved mechanism to extract and index text from documents. Text extraction is now done using IFilters installed on the user's machine. IFilters act as plug-ins and are a part of Microsoft Indexing Service (they are also used by Windows Desktop Search). Using the IFilter mechanism improves the accuracy and performance of text extraction in doQuments.
For doQuments to be able to extract text from a file of a particular format, an IFilter for that file format must be installed on the user's machine.
IFilters for the following file formats are installed by default on Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista machines...
| • | PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint presentation) |
| • | DOC (Microsoft Word document) |
| • | XLS (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) |
| • | HTML documents |
| • | TXT documents |
For PDF files, existing users will need to download the freely available PDF IFilter from...
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2611
You can also install third party filters to enable doQuments to extract text from other file types, e.g.:
More information and downloads links for various IFilters (both free and commercial) are available at...
Version 4.3.3 (January 04 2007)
Minor bug fixes.
Version 4.3.1 (December 15 2006)
Portable doQuments DB
Using this new feature you can mark any MS Access based doQuments DB as a Portable doQuments DB. This DB along with it's System Folder and all it's Storage Folders can then be copied/moved to any removable media (e.g.: USB Drive, Removable Hard Disc, CD, DVD etc.). You can then attach this removable media to any machine running doQuments and open the doQuments DB located on the removable media.
You can use this feature to carry your doQuments DBs anywhere with you, distribute your doQuments DB to multiple users or to archive your doQuments DBs.
Only doQuments DBs which meet the following criteria can be marked as "Portable"…
| • | The doQuments DB should be MS Access based |
| • | The doQuments DB's System Folder and all it's Storage Folders must be under one common folder (this is the default for newly created doQuments DBs). |
doQuments DB list displayed when choosing target doQuments DB for export
When exporting to a doQuments DB, the doQuments DB List is now displayed for choosing the target doQuments DB (instead of the doQuments DB Details Dialog being displayed).

Version 4.2.16 (August 30 2006)
Minor bug fixes.
Version 4.2.4 (July 27 2006)
Record Templates
With the new record templates feature, when creating a new record, doQuments will automatically fill up the data fields that were specified in the record template. This feature benefits users who have same indexing information repeating on many records. It saves on time and data entry costs.
For example: If you have 40 invoices from the same company and you have a data field for 'Company Name', you will not need to enter the name of the company 40 times. You just have to create a record template with this information. Now every time you create a new record using this record template, the company name information will already be filled up.
This feature is only available in the Enterprise Edition of doQuments 4.2 and higher.
Enhanced Backup and Restore
New improved Backup makes it easy to span your large database backup across multiple storage media. You can now split your doQuments Archive file (.DQA) into fixed sized chunks to fit on the required medium (e.g. CD, DVD, USB Drives, etc.). It creates a series of folders with the specified sized files on your hard drive which can be burned onto CDs or DVDs.
Template Manager
You can use Template Manager under the 'File' menu to manage record templates as well as document templates.
Reorder saved queries
You can use the Reorder saved queries feature to choose the order in which your saved queries should appear in the menu. The new 'Reorder' option is located in the Query Wizard.
Modified Folder Structure
When you create a new doQuments DB, doQuments creates a new folder for that DB with the same name as the DB, inside the doQuments Databases folder. This new folder usually contains the Storage folder, the Messaging folder and the Temp Folder.
With the doQuments 4.2, the new DB folder will contain two folders i.e. the Storage folder and the new System folder. The System folder from now on will contain all the folders that are required to run doQuments. This will ease the process of sharing and applying permissions. (Click here for details)

This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
This feature is only available in the Enterprise Edition of doQuments 3.0 and higher.
Document Encryption
This feature allows you to store documents in an encrypted form. This eliminates the possibility of someone accessing the documents directly using Windows Explorer (bypassing doQuments). Encrypted documents can only be accessed using doQuments. Various popular and powerful encryption methods such as AES, TripleDES and Blowfish are supported with key lengths ranging from 128 bits to 256 bits.
This feature can be separately enabled/disabled for each database.
This feature is only available in the Enterprise Edition of doQuments 3.0 and higher.
Event Logging/Auditing
This feature allows you to log details about user actions. For example you can configure this feature so that whenever a document is deleted, details about the action are logged.

Variable Height Input Boxes for Large Text Data Fields
You can now set the height of the Input Box for each Large Text data field, using the new option available on the first page of the Data Fields Wizard. You can now set the Input Box to display anywhere between 3 and 20 lines of text.
Indexing Assistant
The Indexing Assistant is a tool to assist you in indexing documents which are not displayed by the doQuments internal viewer (for e.g. MS Word .doc files). The Indexing Assistant is a floating window which enables you to view the underlying document while entering indexing data. This eliminates the need (while indexing) to switch back and forth between doQuments and the application in which the document in opened.
Specify Scan Area
Instead of doing a preview scan and then selecting an area on the preview image for the final scan, you can now directly specify the size of the page being scanned. You can choose from a list of common page sizes such as A4, A3 etc...
Minor Enhancements
You will find hundreds of other small improvements everywhere in doQuments 3.0.

This feature is only available in the Enterprise Edition of doQuments 2.0 and higher.
doQuments DB List
The doQuments DB List is a central list of all the doQuments DBs that you work with. doQuments DBs you create can be added to the doQuments DB List. If you use the doQuments DB List you can avoid using the Windows File Open to locate and open a doQuments DB. You can simply choose the doQuments DB you want to open from the doQuments DB List.
Pages
If your doQuments DB contains a large number of fields it can be cumbersome to scroll the data panel to view/edit all your data. Pages help you solve this problem, by letting you create multiple pages and assigning groups of fields to each page. To view a particular set of fields you simply choose a page from the new Active Page drop down list. Moreover a field can be assigned to more than one page.
Export doQuments DB
