Projects

A project defines where documents enter and leave the system and how they are processed. Projects are configuration boundaries, not security tenants.

General settings #

• Name and Description identify the project

• Active controls whether background jobs include the project

• Input Mode selects the source

• Output Mode selects the destination

• Document Separation Mode determines how multipage inputs are split

• Exception Handling Mode determines how documents that cannot follow the normal path are handled

• Processed Source Action determines what happens to the original working file

Separation modes #

File-system folders #

For file-system workflows configure:

Use UNC paths for network resources. Do not use mapped drive letters for a Windows service because drive mappings are user-session-specific. Keep source, destination, exception, processed, object-store, and temporary locations separate to prevent reimport loops.

The hot-folder job waits until a file’s last write time is older than Global.LastWriteOlderThanSeconds before importing it. The default is 15 seconds.

IMAP settings #

The project stores host, port, SSL selection, username, encrypted password, mailbox folder, optional sender and subject filters, delete-after-processing behavior, optional processed mailbox folder, look-back days, and connection timeout. The defaults are port 993, SSL enabled, mailbox INBOX, 7 look-back days, and a 30 second timeout.

If deletion is disabled and a processed mailbox folder is configured, processed messages can be moved there. Otherwise, they are marked read. Use a dedicated mailbox account with the minimum permissions required.

Microsoft 365 settings #

Shared Microsoft 365 settings include tenant ID, client ID, encrypted client secret, optional encrypted certificate thumbprint, Graph scope, SharePoint host and site names, and connection timeout. The default scope is https://graph.microsoft.com/.default.

Email-specific settings include mailbox address and folder, sender and subject filters, delete or move behavior, look-back days, and timeout. SharePoint settings include source, destination, exception, and processed folders.

Use a dedicated Entra ID application with only the Microsoft Graph application permissions required by the selected features. Re-enter encrypted secrets after a cross-machine restore if machine-level data-protection keys can no longer decrypt them.

Barcode settings #

Select only the barcode symbologies actually expected. Enabling unnecessary types can increase processing time and false positives.

Export settings #

Available export formats are:

• Multipage TIF
• Image-only PDF
• Text-on-image searchable PDF

OCR settings #

OCR language files are packaged for the languages displayed by the UI. Select the smallest practical language set for the project.

Regular expression settings #

Only barcode data that matches the specified regex value(s) will be used. This prevents situations where a single page contains multiple barcodes. Regular expressions are evaluated in their configured order and can be activated or deactivated individually.

Existing output files #

When Overwrite existing output files is disabled, the ODDc Server preserves the existing file and adds a dot-separated counter to the new filename. For example:

AR734495.tif
AR734495.1.tif
AR734495.2.tif

When overwrite is enabled, the new export replaces the existing file. The setting also affects movement of original files into the processed folder.
