  • Quality Control

    • Check for Barcodes in Image File Useful for testing a template, or checking the quality of a particular file. Checks the file for barcodes and tries to detect which template to use, without creating any records in the database.
    • QC Barcodes Useful if your barcode numbers are expected to be in complete continuous sequences.
    • Reconcile Image Files With Database Check that each image file under the image base has one and only one database record. Produces a report listing files that conform to the expected filenaming pattern which are not present in the database and image records in the database that were not found on the expected location on the (mounted) filesystem.
