If your agency utilizes the back-end scanning workflow, then the Doc360 Match Pending Attachments form plays the essential role of attaching scanned files to their proper placeholders in the system.
As agency personnel process hard copy documents throughout the day, they enter these placeholders in the system by attaching them to either an Activity, Note, or Vendor Invoice. Later, when the agency's scanning technician scans in the hard copy documents, he or she uses Doc360 Match Pending Attachments to fill each placeholder with the proper electronic document file.
For more information about the back-end scanning workflow, see the topic Workflow: Use Doc360 - Back-end Scanning.
To create placeholders or to use Doc360 Match Pending Attachments, you must first enable the system's Backend Scanning Options in Doc360 Setup.
Accessing Doc 360 Match Pending Attachments
Use either of these methods to access the Doc360 Match Pending Attachments form:
From the menu in any Center, first click Doc 360 on the menu bar, and then select Match Pending Attachments from the list.
From the Policy menu bar or from the Submission menu bar, select Operation > DocManagement > Match Pending Attachments.
From the Policy tool bar or from the Submission tool bar, select DocManagement > Match Pending Attachments.
If your Doc360 center banner has been enabled in Doc360 Setup as a "hotspot," then you can click it to launch the form. Alternately, you can drag and hover a document file over the banner: this launches the form with the file already attached.
The Doc360 banner is located above the center menu bar in every center.
When enabled for a specific employee in Doc360 Setup, the Doc360 banner automatically launches the Doc360 Match Pending Attachments form when the logged-in employee drags and hovers a document over the banner.
This Doc360 Hotspot is a timesaving feature for those employees with back-end scanning responsibilities because the Match Pending Attachments form is an essential part of their workflow.
You must have security access to Doc360 Setup in order to enable the banner hotspot.
Follow these steps to set up the Doc360 banner as a hotspot for your scanning technicians:
Open the Doc360 Setup form.
Expand the Employee Assignments section to view the grid. Highlight the employee name for whom you would like to assign a Doc360 Hotspot.
Click Edit to open the data entry fields.
In the Default Hotspot Definition section, select the option "Enable Doc360 Center Hotspot for Backend Scanning (Match Pending Attachment Form)".
Click Update to add the data to the grid.
Repeat steps 2 - 5 until you have enabled the Doc360 Hotspot for each employee with scanning responsibilities.
Click Save & Close.
When the designated employee(s) next log onto the system and access the User Center, the Doc360 Hotspot launches the proper form.
Using Doc360 Match Pending Attachments
The scanning technician gathers all the agency's documents at once, scans them, and then enters each file and its corresponding reference number in the Doc360 Match Pending Attachments form. This workflow requires no knowledge on the part of the scanning technician with regard to a specific document's routing, nor to the business transactions relevant to a document.
Doc360 Match Pending Attachments matches the document reference number to an Attachments placeholder, which was entered in the system previously, along with additional data about the document. Once it finds a match, the system applies the electronic file to its correct attachment placeholder.
Doc360 Match Pending Attachments provides three means to import a file into the system:
Paste Clipboard button
Browse link
Drag-and-drop feature
For a list of file extensions that cannot be imported into Doc360, see the topic Doc360 - An Overview. Some file extensions (for example, .gif) do not include a registered default application. When you try to enter such a file in the grid, you receive a system warning that asks whether you would like to proceed. If your agency has licensed software that can open and edit a file of this type (for example, you can open and edit a .gif using Microsoft Paint® ), click Yes to attach the file to the Documents grid. If not, consider saving a new file for your document, with a different extension.
