keeping the filename when importing

We have some historical photos that need to be imported into OnBase, and there was a question about any option to keep the original filename (or at least be able to search by it).  These files are organized by project/folder, with names similar to "Project X - 0001.jpg", "Project X - 0002.jpg", "Project X - 0003.jpg"

 

With Unity, I know that I can highlight a bunch of images at once, drag them into the client, type in a Description of "Project X", and choose the option to create a single OnBase document, with all of these images within.   I also know that I can configure a scan queue and associated batching scanning/processing, which will accomplish the same thing.

 

While either of those options *might* be sufficient, is there any way to use/capture the original image filename, in order to be able to search for a specific image (versus scrolling through 15-20 smallish thumbnails to find the right one)?

 

Thanks for any input/ideas.

Hi Christopher.  If you add a Keyword to the Document Type, which has a Keyword Type Setting of Processing File Name Keyword.  The Sweep option will fill the file name into this Keyword Type on the document.

To add a clarification: this type of keyword will also work for other import processors too, like COLD, DIP, file import dialog, etc.. 

 

Thanks!
