1. How are documents scanned and indexed?

Documents are indexed automatically as they are scanned or "dropped" into the ImageLink repository.

	Documents are scanned from a workstation where Dynamics GP is active.
	When a document is scanned, the contents of the fields of the Dynamics GP screen are used as index keys.
	The automated indexing also applies to non-scanned documents that are dropped into ImageLink's Drop Zone.
	The index keys for a document are stored in the table "xIMIndex" within the ImageLink database.

5. How does ImageLink relate to the 10GB limitation for Dynamics?

It is stated that Dynamics has a 10 GB file size limitation for storage. Are ImageLink's documents stored in the same database, or would they be stored in a separate location?

The actual documents (scanned and imported) are stored within a directory structure. That directory can be on any drive that is available to the network (not necessarily the same drive that contains Dynamics).

The index information is stored within an SQL database. This does not have to be the same database that is used by Dynamics.

Therefore, it is viable to install ImageLink without impacting the space requirements of Dynamics.
