2. About AppXtender
ApplicationXtender (AppXtender) is a content management system that uses image processing to bring large amounts of data online in a cost-effective manner. ApplicationXtender Document Manager (AppXtender Document Manager), AppXtender’s end user desktop and web access modules, can be used to create, enhance, store, retrieve, and output any type of document.
You can use AppXtender Document Manager to add documents and pages AppXtender through scanning, importing, faxing, using the Windows Clipboard, or inserting objects from other applications. Once a document has been added to the AppXtender database, it can be retrieved and accessed so that you can work with the document. For example, you may need to fax a copy to someone, add an electronic signature, or annotate the document.

Used for storing information
Windows Client (s)
Used for management and
access to content
The ApplicationXtender architecture consists of:
ApplicationXtender software that resides on a Windows 2003 Standard or Enterprise Server
A Windows Desktop client running Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista, for management and access to content
A database for storing index values for documents and applications and other important operating information; ApplicationXtender supports many databases including Microsoft SQL, MySQL, Oracle, and DB2
Disk storage device on Windows Server for storing documents, images, COLD information, etc.
Note to Presenter: Because ApplicationXtender relies on Microsoft Windows and does not require a complex operating environment, customers will:
Find that it is a perfect fit with IT capabilities and capacity
Easily implement ApplicationXtender and integrate it with existing systems
Achieve a rapid return on investment
Now that we’ve covered the basic features, functions, and benefits of ApplicationXtender, let’s take a look at an important challenge that it can solve.

Used for storing information
Unlike document indexes for AppXtender applications, which are stored in a database, the actual document files (scanned images and text files, for example) are stored in a directory designated by the administrator as the application’s document write path.
AppXtender applications can be configured to store documents to any storage device that can be mapped by the AppXtender workstation. This includes devices such as a network file server, local hard disk, or erasable and WORM optical media.

5. Displaying and Storing Documents in AppXtender
Documents are stored in their native format!
Documents are displayed as shown below:
Icon View launches document in authoring application
KeyView Viewer
You can store any type of file in AppXtender. Depending on the file type, AppXtender stores the
file as a supported file type such as image or text, or as an unsupported file type such as foreign or
OLE. When files are created in AppXtender, AppXtender verifies the file type and then stores the file
as the identified type (such as image, text, foreign file format).
Many of the functions available in AppXtender are file-type dependent. Because AppXtender is
geared toward providing access to as many useful functions as possible, features are provided that
can be used to work with particular file types. However, these functions are frequently not available
when you are working with other file types.
A good example of this is the Enhance Image function. If you are viewing a scanned image of an
invoice, for example, it might be very helpful to use image enhancement to clean up the image and
make it easier to read. However, when you are working with a Microsoft Word document stored
as a foreign file, image enhancement is not available (because it would not be of any use with the
Microsoft Word document).
AppXtender has the capability to display file types in a variety of ways. The content of supported
file types can be displayed in the Document Display view. Depending on your AppXtender
configuration, an unsupported file type can be displayed as an icon representing a foreign file,
through KeyView Viewer support, or in its native application in the Document Display view.

6. Accessing Documents stored in AppXtender
Documents can be stored, retrieved, and processed through AppXtender Desktop and AppXtender Web Access client interfaces.
ApplicationXtender
The AppXtender Document Manager and AppXtender Web Access are the modules most frequently accessed by users. Documents are stored, retrieved, and processed within these modules.
AppXtender is password protected, which means that it monitors each user’s activity and allows or denies access to certain information and functions based on that user’s assigned privileges. Privileges—such as the ability to display, print, fax, modify, or delete—are assigned to a user’s account by the administrator.
AppXtender has varying levels of security, from initial login to document level. The administrator can assign full system rights for all applications or different rights from one
application to another. For example, a user may have full privileges for the "Purchase Orders” application but only display and print privileges for the "Human Resources" application.
Each user account is driven by the user name and password, making this information required when logging on to the system. If you have not been assigned an AppXtender user name and password, consult your AppXtender system administrator to obtain a user account.
