Kofax Front-Office Server Configuration Guide for FileNet P8 Platform 3.5.2
Kofax, Inc. 5
Introduction
This guide shows how to configure FileNet P8 Platform 3.5.2 and Kofax Front-Office Server. In
FileNet, you assign Kofax Front-Office Server users to a FileNet object store. All document classes
in the object store that have folders with matching names are available as destinations in Kofax
Front-Office Server.
If you have defined index fields for a document class, they are retrieved by Kofax Front-Office
Server. Users can enter values for them at the MFP or in Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client.
Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client can validate entered data to make sure that it matches the
datatype, except for maximum number of characters for a string. If you have defined values for
these fields, users can select them from a drop-down field in Kofax Front-Office Server Web
Client.
