General

The Intray is the central work area for incoming documents. You can drag any document onto the Intray work area. Documents are usually filed to the ELO repository via the Intray work area. Other documents are dragged and dropped directly to ELO.

Before you file documents to ELO from the Intray work area, you need to enter metadata for the documents. You can also apply metadata automatically. Alternatively, you can specify the filing location in a dialog box every time you file a document.

You will find the scan functions in the Intray work area. Scanning is an important medium for filing documents to ELO.

When you open the Intray, the File tab appears on the ribbon. The File tab contains functions for scanning, inserting, organizing, filing, and applying metadata to entries.

Please note: Documents in the Intray work area are not yet stored in ELO. The documents are located in a special directory on your local computer. If you use ELO on different computers, the content of the Intray work area differs from computer to computer. You cannot access documents in the Intray work area of another computer.
