To begin the image index configuration, follow the steps below:
1.Select Image > Image Index File Options in the main menu window to access the "Image Index Configuration" window.
The "Image Index File Options" menu.
The following window will open:
The "Image Index Configuration" window.
2.Select the option that applies to you, either ASCII Text File or Database Export.
The two index-type options.
3.Once you have made your changes, click "Save Field Configuration."
The settings required will depend on the type of index to be created. See the details of each specific image index setting below:
The "Create Image Index" checkbox.
Regardless of the type of format to read images, checking this box will create its image index. You can also define which fields to include and configure your database settings.
The "ASCII Text File" option.
Selecting this index type will reveal a single option described below and the fields to be included in the image index file.
Text File with Image Files Paths
The "..." box will allow you to browse for an image index location.
This box specifies the output directory for the image index. To select a destination place, click the "...," which will open a browsing window. Once you find the folder where you want to set the output directory for the image index, click "OK." Alternatively, you may create a new folder where you wish by clicking the "Make New Folder" button.
Note: The image index ASCII file only works when you save individual images for each claim.
The "Database Connection Parameters" box will appear if you choose "Database Import."
Select this option to save the image index through ODBC into any database, independent of the database used for file downloads. The database setup is similar to that of the claim data import.
