Hyland Perceptive Content Room for Improvement

I’ve been using the Web version the past year due to moving to a laptop as my primary computer. No one can seem to figure out how to print into WebNow, even though the Capture option is still there. I still plan to figure that out on my own.

When a user has the Perceptive Software License on their computer, they are able to print PDF documents directly into ImageNow (File, Print, ImageNow is an option along with PDF, printer, etc.). From my understanding, ImageNow licenses are not compatible with laptop computers (at least not with the one that I have). Therefore, if I have a PDF on my screen, in order to get it into ImageNow, I have to either email it to someone with a license, who can print directly to ImageNow, or print it out and have someone at a scanning station, scan it in and then link it to a student’s record.

I would like it to have more functions, like Bluebeam. It can be improved so that we can edit the file that got scanned into the system. If we scan the document to the wrong place, we can’t change it. As an example, if something was scanned as a reference, but should be an invoice, you cannot change it afterwards.

I think it should have more functions that will allow us to edit the file in ImageNow -- such as adding pages, deleting pages.

I also think it should have more hot keys (maybe I just don’t know there are) for easier “route forward”, “view next item”, so I don’t have to use my mouse.

There is also a question that came up when I was using it recently, why do we need both “properties” and “forms”?
If we index the document in Forms, it will take a long time for it to move to another queue and show the info. If we index it in Properties, it will update immediately.
My question is why do we need both? Can’t we just put info in Forms and it will work just like Properties? It is time-consuming to put info in both pages.

If the invoice is out of balance, maybe there should be a function that stops it being routed forward. If we route it by accident, it takes time for the approver to reject and routed back.
If we can catch it in the first place and fix it when there is a warning sign. I know that there will be a red message saying “out of balance”, but it doesn’t always show up.


Is it possible for us to “recall” the routed item? Just like recalling an email that you accidentally sent out.

Can we make the Notes section working like a sticky note so it shows name/date, shows the most recent message on top. 

Sticky note is hard to read (too small) and easily get missed as people put it anywhere.
We use notes section for every invoice. We often put a lot of messages there and it gets messy.

Too many companies/products have been purchased by Perceptive over the past few years with what feels like little development on currently owned products. View full review »
