Document Tracking report

The Document Tracking Report shows information about documents such as who added them and when, the indexes used and the status (checked out, filed, scanned, and other statuses).
Administrators, Scan Operators, and any users assigned to groups that have permission for full document tracking can view information for all documents, while all other users will only see their own documents that they added to GoFileRoom.
To view the Document Tracking Report:
  1. Select
    Reports
    , then
    Document Tracking

    Drawers
     dropdown menu. Notice that the drawer's indexes appear under the Document Status section.
  3. Select a status or any applicable index fields to retrieve the list of desired documents.

Export Document Tracking results

You can export the Document Tracking results to a comma-delimited file (.csv).
  1. After a search is performed, select the
    Option
     button, then select the
    Export List
    .
  2. A CSV file will be saved in your Downloads folder or select the downloaded file to open it in Excel.

Re-print barcodes

GoFileRoom lets you re-print barcode cover sheets.
  1. Use the Barcoded status to search for and display documents that have had a barcode page printed.
  2. Select one or more checkboxes on the left, then right-click to re-print Barcodes. A preview window will open with all your barcodes and you will be prompted to print the barcodes.
  3. Select
    Print
     to print your barcode cover sheets - each on a separate sheet of paper.
Barcode cover sheets can only be used once with ScanFlow.

Scanned status reset

You can reset Document IDs from the Scanned status back to the Barcoded status and re-print if necessary.
  1. When searching for documents that are in the scanned status, select the checkboxes in the left column and right-click and choose Reset to Barcoded.
  2. Select
    OK
     to continue.
The status for the previously scanned document IDs will now be “Barcoded”. You can now re-print the barcode cover sheets.

Void document IDs

In the event that a barcode cover page hasn’t been used with ScanFlow, it can be voided (barcodes include a document ID and can't be deleted). Once voided, a document ID can never be re-used.
  1. When searching for documents that are still in barcode status, select the checkboxes in the left column to select any rows you want to void, right-click, and select
    Void Document(s)
    .
  2. Select
    OK
    .

View a document

You can open and view a filed document directly from the Document Tracking Report.
  1. When the results are displayed from your search, select the checkboxes in the left column, then choose
    Open Document
    .

View documents that have been published

You can use the Document Tracking Report to show documents that have been published to ClientFlow/NetClient users.
  1. Search for a client (or use * in the name index field).
  2. Set the ClientFlow status to Published.
  3. Select
    Search
    .

Override checked out documents

If you have administrative privileges, you can override the checkout status if necessary.
  1. In the search criteria, specify checked out as the status.
  2. In the results, select the appropriate documents, then right-click and choose
    Override Checkout
    .
The document will be unlocked and available for other users. Any updates that may have been in progress (since the last save to GoFileRoom) by the original user will be permanently lost in the GoFileRoom version of the document.
If the original user tries to check the document in to GoFileRoom after their checkout has been overridden, the user will receive a prompt. As an alternative to ensure that any updates are not lost, the document may be saved into GoFileRoom as a new document.
