 To create a new Watched Folder, open the File menu and click
Create a Watched Folder.
 Click the Browse button to search for the appropriate folder.
Warning: it is mandatory to select a folder on a local hard disk
instead of on a network. Bandwidth and network issues, such as time-
outs, inconsistent time or time zone settings etc., might slow down
IRISDocument Server considerably. Therefore, I.R.I.S. does not
guarantee the proper operation of the Watched Folders module when
monitoring a network folder.
Image folder
IRISDocument Server can either Process the root of a selected
folder or Process the subfolders.
When processing the root of a selected folder, the images are erased
automatically from that folder once they have been processed.
Otherwise, they would be processed over and over again.
When processing the root, of a selected folder, IRISDocument also
processes the images that are located at 1 level below the root.
When processing the subfolders, the root folder is ignored and only
the subfolders are processed. The images and subfolders are deleted
after task creation by default, and stored in the work folder. You can
also choose to keep a copy of the documents in their original folder by
clearing the box Delete document after task creation. These
documents will not be processed over and over since IRISDocument
Server can detect which documents are already being processed by
means of run files.
