eCopy ShareScan NetDocuments Connector
The NetDocuments connector allows users to scan documents directly into NetDocuments system from an eCopy-enabled device in any supported document format. You need a NetDocuments connector license loaded into ShareScan to access this connector.
To be able to use this connector with the Email and folder watching service, you need to create a profile in such a way that it does not require user interaction (express). To do this, verify that you select connector configuration options marked with 3 dashes (the "Express" icon).
A note on compatibility: in this ShareScan version the NetDocuments connector is integrated into the main product and is installed as part of ShareScan installation. This integrated version of NetDocuments requires Token Vault v3.7 or later. Earlier versions of the NetDocuments connector (installed separately - for ShareScan 5.4 SP2 and ShareScan 6.1 SP1) require Token Vault version 2.x.
Before end-users can use the NetDocuments connector they need to authorize themselves to
- Get an access token
- Associate their NetDocuments and domain accounts, and
- Store the token in Token Vault for later use with the NetDocuments storage.
If this authorization is not performed before using the NetDocuments connector, connector authentication fails and ShareScan sends a notification email to the user with instructions on the necessary actions. This email contains the Token Vault URL, where the authorization steps should be performed by users. As access tokens might expire during extended idle periods for the connector, end-users may need to perform the authorization steps again at a later time.
For the generic connector configuration options, see Configure connector profile.
