If a list is available for a field, the user can simply select the desired entry. If a user forgets
to enter values, the front panel prompts the user to complete required fields before
continuing.
Using the Data Validation SDK, you can specify a variety of validation and field lookup
options.
„
Enhanced Lookup
Depending on the destination configuration, at the MFP, lookup is possible for fax number
and email address fields. Thus, based on the provided search string, Kofax Front-Office
Server retrieves fax number and email address lists from Active Directory, LDAP, personal
address books, as well as from the embedded database table customemailfaxlookup. For
information about the various data sources and necessary configuration steps, refer to the
Kofax Front-Office Server Administrator’s Guide.
At the front panel of the MFP, press the fax number or email address field to open the on-
screen keyboard and type the search entry. Then, press Search to obtain the list of
matching entries.

Additional Scanning Options
Users can override the default resolution or other scanning options for a document by
pressing the More Options or Options button. (The button label depends on the MFP
model.)
