About

ILINX Flex, a key component of ILINX Web Platform, enables you to easily capture accurate information from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone from a refined user interface that does not need XBAP to function, unlike ILINX Capture & Content Store.

This guide contains information on how to configure the ILINX Flex, Administrator tools, and options.

Note: This guide assumes that installation of the ILINX Capture Platform and the ILINX Web Platform products have taken place. For complete installation documentation, please see the ILINX Web Platforms Installation Guide

---

Configuring

See the ILINX Web Platforms Installation Guide for installation information and configurations. ILINX Flex utilizes configurations from ILINX Content Store, ILINX Capture, ILINX eForms, and ILINX Analytics. Each of these products may be configured to be used in ILINX Flex according to the license assigned.

---

Accessing

In addition to the primary ILINX Content Store client application, you can also access the product’s end-user capabilities from the ILINX Flex client application. The simplicity of this client application makes it perfectly suited for ad-hoc or casual users.

The ILINX Flex client application delivers many of the same capabilities as the primary client including:

• Global and advanced searching
• Full document management operations
• Document operations such as viewing, emailing, and downloading.

To access the ILINX Flex client application, perform the following steps:

Note: This client application supports a wide variety of web browsers running on either Windows or Mac, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge

Step 1: From an Internet browser window, enter the ILINX Flex client URL. ILINX Flex does not support IE Mode in Microsoft Edge.

• • https://[ServerName]/ILINXFlex. The URL is not case-sensitive

Step 2: Enter a valid username and password.

Step 3: Enter a valid username and password.

The Username is not case-sensitive

The Password is case-sensitive

Step 4: Click on the Sign-in button.

Once logged in, you will see a navigation panel on the left. The items listed in the navigation panel are dependent on the licensing, configurations, and permissions the user has.

Note: Selecting the Refresh button in browsers will return the user to this login screen. To avoid this, use the <F5> key. This applies to browsers Chrome, Firefox, and Edge

Document Viewer

The ILINX Flex Document Viewer allows users to capture documents for either ILINX Content Store applications or ILINX Capture batch profile workflows. The Flex viewer also allows users to view thumbnails, index items, and create and view comments. The Document Viewer is compatible with PDF documents, raster images, and MS Office documents including docx, xlsx, and pptx. The following table contains a list of supported file types in ILINX Flex:

Note: SSL offloading is not supported in ILINX Flex

Users can drag and drop files into the thumbnail tab. If no documents are created, then dropped files will be added to the batch as a loose page. Once a document is created, dragging files into the document tab will add the dropped files to the document. You can also select multiple files to drag and drop into the Flex Viewer.

Similar to ILINX Capture, if there are multiple files in the document viewer, you can drag and drop a drop file over another file to rearrange their order in the document or batch.

Note: in ILINX Flex Mobile – Android devices do not support the use of dragging and dropping pages

ILINX Desktop Scanning Service Installation

When scanning documents in Flex, the scanner settings configured in ILINX Content Store will be utilized in Flex. When scanning for the first time in Flex, you will receive a download for the ILINX Desktop Scanning Service, which contains TWAINService properties that are required to use scanners in a Flex environment. Flex now also includes client-side barcode extraction and separator capabilities similar to the Barcode IXM in ILINX Capture. For more information on this feature, refer to the ILINX Capture 9.6 – Technical Guide: Barcode Section.

Note: The Scan feature within the document viewer is only available on Windows devices, and can only be installed by users with local admin privileges 

Note: Databar barcodes will not be able to be recognized for extraction and separation

AI Assistant

The AI Assistant can be used to help ILINX Flex users find information in documents that are cluttered, contain a large amount of data, or have many pages. Keep in mind that this feature only works when opening a document from an Application or Content view.

When you click on AI Assistant in the top right of the screen, it will generate a summary of the document in the “Summary of this doc” box and auto generate more specific questions about the current document. If the generated questions do not suffice, then you can ask the assistant you own questions using the “Other question:” box.

Interacting with Documents

ILINX Flex gives the user several document management options. You can access these options by right-clicking on a document in the results list.

• Open – Allows you to open the document to view. This option does not check out or permanently edit the content but allows the document to be opened. If the ILINX Content Store system has been configured with the optional document rendering module, the selected document will be presented in a new browser tab. If the system is not configured with the document rendering module, the user will be prompted to launch or download the selected document.
• Open in new tab – Allows you to open the document to view in a new browser tab. This allows you to update index fields, annotations, etc. from a new tab and then submit the document if desired.
• Search associated applications –  Allows you to search so associated applications that are associated with the selected application. For more information refer to the ILINX Content Store 9.6 – Administrator Guide.

Note: Enabling or disabling an “associated search” for an Application with any existing Views, will not update the “Search Associated Application” Flex Content View UI Option. To update Existing views running the below query or open the view and save it again:

Enable Existing View: 

UPDATE [ICS_Views]
SET HasAssociatedSearch = 1
WHERE SearchQueryRepositoryIDs IN (SELECT CAST([SourceRepositoryID] AS nvarchar(255)) FROM [ICS_RepositoryAssociations]

Disable Existing View: 

UPDATE [ICS_Views]
SET HasAssociatedSearch = 0
WHERE Not SearchQueryRepositoryIDs

• Download – Allows you to download a document to the desired location. This can be useful for traveling needs where you do not have access to either the ILINX Content Store server or the internet.

Note: XPS files are no longer supported in Flex 

• Copy links – Using this option will copy an encrypted link to the document or form that can be shared with others.
• Update Index Field(s) – This feature allows you to modify the index field values for one or more documents.
• Delete – This option permanently deletes the document from the Application.
• Check out – Using the same checkout functionality used in ILINX Content Store, checkout allows the document in the application to be checked out for updating or editing. At any time, you can right-click a checked-out document from the ILINX Flex Application page and discard the checkout. This will revert the document to its original state before being checked out.
• Check out without download – Using the same checkout functionality used in ILINX Content Store, check out without download allows the document in an application to be checked out of an application without being downloaded to your local machine. This allows you to update or edit the document freely from ILINX Flex and then check it back into the application as an updated version of the doc.
• Export Index Data – Clicking this option will download a . CSV file containing the index values for the selected document.
• Place in workflow –  Using this option will place one or more selected documents within a Content Store Application or Content View into a new ILINX Capture batch. Provided within this option is to Show linked workflow profiles, which will reset the search for a Workflow Profile, or to Attach documents as loose pages, which attach the selected document(s) as a loose page rather than within a specified Document type.
• Add a similar document – This allows you to add a document to the Content Store Application from the Applications tab or Content Views tab. From this option, the same document type and index values from the source document will be the same as the new document that you are adding.

ILINX Data Loss Prevention Annotation Options

ILINX 9.6 implements the redaction features that are present in the ILINX Content Store XBAP client, which is mainly utilized with the ILINX Data Loss Prevention (DLP) product. These are the following features available:

• Hide/Show only redactions (Alt + R) 
  • This button will hide or show only redaction annotations that are present in the document.
• Hide/Show all annotations (Alt + A)
  • This button will hide or show all annotations that are present in the document.

Note: Users must have the Can hide ICS redaction permission to use these features

Comments Thread

When viewing a document, a Comments thread generates a discussion about the document. The administrator sets the permission for a group to view and/or add to discussions.

• A comment entry can have up to 1,000 characters per entry. A visual of the number of characters will appear next to the discussion box as the text is entered.
• The Comments area can be collapsed/expanded by the user as desired.
• Choose to sort comment entries by Author or Date as well as most recent or oldest.
• When a comment is added to a thread, the user’s username and the date entered are attached.
• Once saved, a comment cannot be removed, and previously entered comments cannot be modified.

Note: When a user views a comment from a batch and changes the Sort by drop-down option, it does not refresh the comments list

Flex Annotation Options

There are 12 available annotation types when adding a new ILINX Capture or Content Store document. Additionally, these annotations have additional options that are NOT supported in Capture or Content Store. Therefore, when you view documents in Content Store or Capture that have used the unsupported annotation options, an error box will display.

Note: Only raster images, PDF files, and TXT files(Content Store documents only) are supported with applying Flex Annotations 

As noted, if certain annotation options are utilized in Flex, they may be hidden or may not be viewed properly in ILINX Capture or ILINX Content Store and the message below will display when a document is opened in one of those products.

Document Versioning

ILINX Flex allows you to directly check out documents from applications from your ILINX Content Store host server. The documents are saved to your hard drive, where they can be edited, and then checked back into ILINX Content Store. Previous versions of a given document can be restored (prompted to the current version), and document checkouts can be discarded (if editing is not needed, accidental opening of the wrong document, etc.).

This check-in/check-out system allows for streamlined development of documents. Checking out a document also gives the user the ability to work on documentation without connecting to the network.

Checking Out a Document

Step 1: Search for the desired document in the correct application.

Step 2: Select the document(s) you wish to check out. Multiple documents may be checked out at the same time.

Step 3: Right-click to open the context menu. Select Checkout.

Step 4: Select your desired location to download the document.

• • The document is downloaded to the local machine. It can be accessed directly from your computer without logging in to ILINX Content Store or ILINX Flex.

Checking In a Document

Checking in a document will save the edited document as a new version.

Step 1: Log in to the ILINX Flex profile that checked out the document.

Step 2: Expand the Application names option in the navigation panel and select Checked out to me

Step 3: Select the document line you would like to check in; right-click to bring up the context menu, then select Check-in. The check-in window will open to complete the check-in.

Step 4: Select the file to upload and check in.

Step 5: Specify the sort of changes you made to the document: Major or Minor.

Step 6: You must comment on the status of the document; what you changed, the state of the document, etc. If left empty, a permanent red asterisk and a red box will appear around the Comment section.

Step 7: With all fields completed, select “Submit” to check in the document.

Another option in the context menu is Discard checkout – This option will disregard any changes that may have been made and remove the checkout.

Content Views

Selecting the Views navigation option will expand a list of Views that have been configured in ILINX Content Store that the logged-in user has permission to. Features in the Views option match what is available in the Applications section.

Note: To reorder the columns within the view results, drag the desired column name to the position you like, and the columns will be reordered 

Creating an Addressable Search

There are opportunities to provide shortcut links to documents within ILINX. A link to a document can be created and shared by right-clicking the document in the Search tab, clicking the Email option, and choosing the email type As link. This creates a link to that particular document using the application name and the document object identifier (GUID).

A link can also be created to automate returning a result set from a pre-determined search. This allows the creation of a type of addressable search where a user is “handed” a set of documents without having to enter any search criteria. These links can be used by other third-party software. When the link is selected by a user, it will always route first to the login screen.

View-Specific Search Link

This URL will create a dynamic shortcut to run a predefined ILINX Flex view with criteria specified in the URL. To use this link, you must have a view already defined, and your URL must include the name of the view and the fields/values you defined as search criteria in that view. To create a view search link, use the following structure, where the bold blue text values are determined in-house:

• https://your server URL/ILINXflex/?mode=viewsearch&viewname=ViewName&fieldname1=fieldvalue1

Note: Multiple index fields/values can be added to the link, using an ampersand (&) as a separator. To include spaces in your URL, replace the space character with “%20”

New work item

Selecting New work item… in the navigation panel will open a window that allows the user to select the desired ILINX Capture Batch Profile that has appropriate permissions.

After selecting the desired batch profile, the user may use the top menu items to select file import or scan to add a document. Using the dropdown, the user can select an Unclassified document, or the Doc Type configured within the ILINX Capture Batch Profile. After indexing the document as desired, selecting Submit will save the new document. Selecting Cancel will discard all documents in that window. Multiple documents may be onboarded and indexed.

Inbox

The Inbox tab is used to display all batches that are locked by the currently logged-in user. Locked batches cannot be edited by other users until the batch has become unlocked. This node will only appear once the user has batches locked to them.

Errors

The Error tab is used to display all batches that are in the ‘Errors’ queue of ILINX Capture and will display their error from the “Status” field.

Workflow views

The next option available in the ILINX Flex client is Workflow views. When this option is selected, a list of ILINX Capture Views that have been configured and permissions assigned is available in the center panel. Selecting a batch will display the form in the rightmost document viewing panel.

Note: To reorder the columns within the view results, drag the desired column name to the position you like, and the columns will be reordered 

Right-clicking on a document in the results panel will open a context menu that allows users to make updates similar to ILINX Capture. These menu items include:

• Open: Opens the selected document
• Submit: Sends the document to the next function in the workflow.
• Reject/Approve: Users can reject or un-reject a document based on business processes.
• Lock/Unlock: Users can lock the selected document to themselves so others may be unable to make updates.
• Suspend/Unsuspend: Users can send batches to the ‘Suspended’ queue in ILINX Capture. To Unsuspend, users must have permission to do so and the View needs to have the ‘Can see suspended items’ setting enabled.
• Copy link: Using this option will copy an encrypted link to the document or form that can be shared with others. This works for both eForms and non-eForm workflow items.
• Add comments: Will add comments attached to the document that may be viewed when the document is open.
• Update index fields: Opens context menu enabling users to modify index field values.
• Delete: Deletes the selected document.
• History: Opens a window that displays the History of the document.
• Select all: Select all documents in the results window.
• Clear selection: Clears all documents that are selected.

eForms

The next navigation option available in the ILINX Flex client is eForms. Selecting eForms displays the list of forms that have been configured in ILINX Capture eForms and permissions have been assigned to the logged-in user. No configurations can be made within the ILINX Flex client. Once a completed form is submitted, it will continue processing through ILINX Capture workflow.

Note: When configuring an Oracle database lookup for eForms, both Oracle 32-bit and 64-bit drivers must be installed on the eForms server in two separate folders. Also, verify that the Oracle driver installer is added to the Oracle bin folder in the system PATH environment variable

Note: The ILINX Flex client will prompt the user to stay or leave the current page if data has been entered and the user chooses to close or change the page. This configuration is made within the ILINX eForms properties.

Advanced Capture Documents

ILINX Flex allows for the recognition and classification of confidence values and graphic indications in the UI. The images below show an example of the recognition and classification confidence values displayed next to the document name and the configured extraction field value in the viewer.

Note: When a batch is in a Human Activity that supports “Verification” for the current user, the viewer will scroll to the appropriate document page and auto-scroll/auto-zoom to the configured extraction field values from the Advanced Capture Definition 

Dashboards

The ILINX Capture Analytics product provides dashboard capabilities for visualizing ILINX Capture workflow statistics and data. Furthermore, ILINX Analytics adds more dashboard data sources including ILINX eForms, ILINX Content Store, and external databases. Analytics requires separate licensing. Please see the ILINX Analytics guide for more information and configuring options. Dashboard widgets can be created in ILINX Capture and will be viewed in Flex.

Step 4: After saving, the default user interface will now display the settings configured.

Custom snap-in Index panel

Administrators can add custom logic to allow ILINX Flex to use a document index snap-in panel for both ILINX Capture and ILINX Content Store documents. To add the custom JavaScript code, see the sample code at:

• <Installation Location>\Program Files\ImageSource\ILINX Web Platform\Content\js\ilinx.indexpanel.custom.extension.js

Idle Timeout Logic

Administrators can configure the ability for Flex to timeout when a user remains idle while logged in for a certain amount of time, where they will have to log in again after this occurs. There are two keys in the <Installation Folder>\Program Files\ImageSource\ILINX Web Platform\Web.config file that control this feature:

• EnableIdleTimeout – This key can be either true or false, where the idle timeout logic will occur if set to “true.”
• IdleTimeoutInMinutes – This key sets the amount of times in minutes that a user can remain idle until Flex logs them out. This key is set to 1 hour (60 minutes) by default.

Custom Forgotten Password Page

If you have created a custom page for your users to access if they have forgotten their login password, you can link directly to the page on the ILINX Content Store login screen.

Step 1: In your system’s installation folders, navigate to Program Files\ImageSource\ILINX Web Platform\

Step 2: Open the Web.config XML file.

Step 3: Configure the custom URL by adding the ForgotPasswordLink node in the XML file.
