Edit system settings

Configure all general settings for all ELO Dropzone tiles here. In the tile configuration, you can make changes to individual tiles at a later point in time.

Use the radio buttons to select whether you want to make personal or system-wide (global) settings.

PDF printer directory: Select the file path for monitoring the PDF printer directory in the PDF printer directory text field. If there are PDF documents in this directory, they are filed based on the specifications of the tiles created in ELO Dropzone. Define the specifications for the individual tiles in the tile configuration.

Move error to: With the Move error to field, you can configure the file path where unrecognized PDF documents in the PDF printer directory are moved to.

Number of pages for full text analysis: Use the value in the Number of pages for full text analysis field to determine the maximum number of pages per document to be analyzed during OCR preprocessing. Analyzes documents in PDF and TIFF format.

Number of tile columns: Set how many tile columns should be displayed. Choose to show the tiles in one, two, or three columns.

Display on monitor: When you have multiple monitors, you can display ELO Dropzone on a monitor other than the primary monitor. If ELO Dropzone is configured on an invalid monitor, it automatically switches back to the primary monitor.

Start minimized: When you enable the Start minimized check box, ELO Dropzone always starts docked onto the taskbar.

Animation while expanding/collapsing: Select the Animation while expanding/collapsing check box to enable an animation when expanding and collapsing ELO Dropzone. If this check box is not enabled, the size changes immediately.

Enable report: When you select the Enable report check box, a report file called ELOdropzone(x).txt is created in the user's temp directory. The directory is located here: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Temp.

OCR analysis for TIFF documents: Enable the OCR analysis for TIFF documents option to switch on OCR. Uncheck the box if you do not require OCR and do not want it to affect your system's performance.

Window always on top: Enable the Window always on top check box to keep ELO Dropzone in the foreground. The change will take effect once you restart ELO Dropzone.

Information: Refer to the Administration chapter for information on how you make changes to the configuration via the extra text of the keywording form.
