Workflows

A workflow contains a series of processing steps and their settings. It can 
be saved for repeated use whenever you have a task needing the same 
processing. Workflows usually begin with a scanning or loading step, but 
they can also start from the document currently open in OmniPage. After 
that, they do not have to conform to the traditional 1-2-3 processing 
pattern. Usually a workflow will include a recognition step, but this is not 
compulsory. For instance, page images can be saved to image files in a 
different file type or to an OmniPage Document. With or without OCR, 
any number of saving steps are possible, even to different targets, each 
with their own export settings.

Workflows are designed for efficient whole-document processing. They 
cannot handle recognizing or saving single or selected pages from a 
document. You should use manual processing for such cases.

Some workflows run without user interaction. Workflows needing 
interaction are those with a manual image enhancement step, a manual 
zoning step, a proofing/editing step, or when run-time prompting is 
requested for input or output file names and paths.

Batch Manager jobs are closely related to workflows. Jobs are created in 
the Job Wizard which uses the Workflow Assistant in the creation process. 
Jobs run workflows according to the job parameters and it is more typical 
of them to run unattended.

Sample workflows are provided with OmniPage 15 to offer you typical 
work processes. They are available in the Workflow drop-down list. 
Choose one then click the Workflow Assistant button to see its steps and 
settings.
