Image addresses
An image address is assigned to every document scanned. An image
address is composed of four fields, each representing a different
document level. An image address has a maximum length of 15
characters; 12 alphanumerics (field A, field B, and field C must be
numeric; the fixed field may contain alphanumerics) and 3 delimiters
(inserted between fields).
The image address (number of fields and characters) is based on the
indexing scheme chosen (refer to the section entitled “Indexing
schemes” later in this appendix).
For each mode, regardless of the indexing scheme used, the following
four fields must be defined during installation:
• Field A. A numeric field representing document Level 1. Its value is
incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 1.
• Field B. A numeric field representing document Level 2. Its value is
incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 2.
• Field C. A numeric field representing document Level 3. Its value is
incremented whenever a document is assigned Level 3.
• Fixed field. An alphanumeric field containing fixed information;
typically, the date.
An example of an image address is:
1201.01.020.005
where:
• Field A (Level 1) contains 005
• Field B (Level 2) contains 020
• Field C (Level 3) contains 01
• Fixed field contains 1201
