DocuWare Desktop Apps

The DocuWare Desktop Apps enable you to use various functions in DocuWare, such as scanning documents to the document tray and sending documents directly from the document tray or file cabinet. You can even edit documents in their native application within DocuWare. The Desktop Apps provide various DocuWare applications for this purpose:

  • Connect to Outlook: To store email in DocuWare using the Outlook menu command

  • Edit & Send: To edit or send documents directly from DocuWare

  • Import: To automatically import documents from a monitored file folder

  • Printer: To print and store documents from any application as PDF

  • Scan: To scan documents directly into a document tray or file cabinet

  • Export: To export index data of documents and enable data transfer to third-party applications

  • Smart Connect: To display matching documents in DocuWare from other applications at the touch of a button

  • Windows Explorer Client: To integrate DocuWare into the Windows File Explorer

In the case of administrative apps, the Workflow Designer is initially the only relevant tool for creating workflows or editing pre-configured workflows.

The Desktop Apps are installed locally on the computer by the user who is to work with the applications.
