Use index profiles to automate the indexing process. Index profiles are similar to templates, and let you apply a set of pre-configured index options. For example, a pre-configured profile can speed indexing by populating fields for you, or by eliminating unnecessary screens. When you select a profile in the Document Indexer's Profiles list, all the profile's settings are applied to the image, quickly and consistently.
Index profiles not only improve efficiency, they also help you manage your imaging storage locations and security. Before creating or editing profiles for the first time, see Planning Profiles.
Profiles are maintained in Eclipse and have two distinct parts: the document Profile ID, plus its associated Storage ID. The document Profile ID controls the overall index process, while the Storage ID controls the storage location.
Once you understand how to use profiles, you can create your own. For a brief step-by-step checklist, see Creating Custom Indexing Profiles.
