Apply Reprocessing Changes to All Files with Same MD5Hash Value

Identical File Handling will automatically apply any reprocessing changes for a given file to all of the files with the same MD5Hash value. The same reprocessing output changes are applied to the item’s identical files. Identical files share the same MD5 hash, not necessarily the same family structure.

This function is located in the context menu for the selected item.

Warning: Identical files are defined as other files having the same valid MD5Hash as the file in question. Any files that experienced a hash failure, or have a hash in the Items table that is not exactly 32 characters, will not be considered as an identical file of any other file.

 

When reprocessing regularly or natively, the same output changes will be applied to all of the selected item’s identical files. Any file that has the same MD5Hash as the selected item is considered its identical file.

  1. From the Documents List Window in the eCapture QC module, right-click on a document (whose reprocessing output changes you would like to copy to identical files) to display the context menu.

  2. Choose Identical File Handling > Open QC session with all Identical Files > Level (choose Job, Custodian, Case (Project), or Client). A new Processing or Data Extract session opens with the identical files encountered in the selected level.

  3. Perform QC on one item in the list (flags, searches, etc.).

  4. Reprocess regularly or natively by making use of the QC Functions Toolbar. Select one of the following:

    • - Reprocesses the item through eCapture
    • - Reprocesses the item in its native application
    • - Reprocesses the item in its native application via ShellExecute Print.

    For more information on these options, see QC Individual Items in the Documents Window.

  5. Right-click the item that was reprocessed to display the context menu.

  6. Choose Identical File Handling and choose one of the following:

    • Apply output to all Identical Files - Copies the output to all items in the session. None of the flags set for the item/master file are copied to the identical files. The Perform Transfer dialog appears.

      1. Click Yes. The Apply Output to Identical Files progress dialog appears indicating the progress of the transfer.

        When the transfer completes, the Operation Complete dialog appears.

      2. Click OK.

    • Apply output to all Identical Files that have not passed QC - Copies the output to all items in the session that do not have the QC Passed flag set. None of the flags set for the master file are copied to the identical files. The Perform Transfer dialog appears.

      1. Click Yes. The Apply Output to Identical Files progress dialog appears indicating the progress of the transfer.

        When the transfer completes, the Operation Complete dialog appears.

      2. Click OK.
