1. Can Dispatcher Stratus create folders dynamically?

Yes. Using Dispatcher Stratus , new folders can be created dynamically based on the path provided in the workflow and a variety of variables, such as file name, logged-in user name, etc.

Dispatcher Stratus also provides the ability to dynamically create output directories based on file content. With the Advanced OCR node, you can create zones around specific data that you want to capture in your document. That extracted information can then be referenced when defining an folder, using the following syntax:

    {ocr:zone.name of zone[page number]}

For example, if you have created a zone called ‘client’ on page one of your document, you could specify the following when defining a folder within the OneDrive Connector:

    root/{ocr:zone.client[1]}

In this example, if the value of the ‘client’ zone is John Doe, then a John Doe folder will be automatically created within OneDrive.

2. Are there limits to the number of nodes that can be included in one workflow?

No. There are no limits to the number of nodes that can be included in a workflow. You can include multiple input nodes (for file collection), process nodes, and distribution nodes (for file distribution) to suit your business needs. If you need to create a complex process with a large number of nodes, you can insert an unlimited number of additional pages to your workflow. Multiple elements in a workflow can be copied and pasted from page to page, which is the equivalent of using a connector between two nodes on the same page.

3. What on-premise infrastructure do I need in order to use Dispatcher Stratus?

None! As a true cloud-based solution, Dispatcher Stratus is hosted in the cloud and requires no on-premise installation.

4. How does Dispatcher Stratus differ from Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud?

Both Dispatcher Stratus and Dispatcher ScanTrip Cloud are completely cloud-based solutions, built from the ground up to provide businesses with powerful document workflow automation. Both products include:
