Abstract: A method, and a system using the method, of managing and using a profile to be associated with a document. The method includes generating an identifier based on the profile and printing the identifier for use in scanning documents to be associated with the profile.

Abstract: A method, and a system using the method, of managing a scanned document. The method includes identifying information of a profile for the scanned document and generating a virtual coversheet based on the identified information of the profile. The method also includes associating the virtual coversheet with the scanned document.

Abstract: A network architecture and related controls for disseminating and capturing flight release documents permit user directed printing and transmitting functions. At a flight origination location, a user may be authorized based on inputted identification and prompted for a flight specific data item such as a flight number. Upon validating the flight specific data item, the relevant flight information is located and a flight release document containing the relevant flight information is created and produced at the flight origination location. At a flight destination location, users may be prompted again for identification and the flight release document may be captured, received, and stored. The produced flight release document may include a specific page number and a total page count on each printed sheet and may also include a barcode containing metadata related to the flight release document. The barcode may be scanned to determine certain details of the flight release document.

Abstract: A system and method of importing a document into a document management system are presented. In an embodiment, the method comprises displaying at a scanning device a list of one or more available profiles, each of the profiles being associated with metadata; receiving input indicative of a selection of one of the profiles; scanning the document to create a scanned document image; associating the metadata of the selected profile to the scanned document image; and importing the scanned document image and the associated metadata into the document management system.
