To help you get started, we have set up default repositories that you can select in the welcome page.

 

Configure REV to suit your screen size

REV gives you the freedom to manage documents using computers, tablets or mobile devices. You can configure the best layout for your current screen by using this feature. To do so:

  1. Go to user settings and slide the “rearrange layout” toggle and turn it on (second from the top)
  2. Rearrange the layout to suit your screen by resizing the image and indexing tabs

 

 

Importing Files into REV

 

 

You can import various file formats (.jpg, .doc, .png, .pdf, .mp3, .tiff) into REV using multiple ways:

  1. Drag and drop them into the image tab in REV*.
  2. Click on ‘Attach Images’ or ‘browse to files,’ to select and click on the files you want to import.
  3. Directly scan images into REV, but first you will need to run the REV native application on your system by clicking on the ‘scan images’ button.

* you will need to drop it in the appropriate window so keep an eye on your cursor as it will indicate where it’s okay to drop a file

 

Set up your scanner to scan images directly into REV

 

Scanning images and directly uploading them into the cloud is REVs patent pending technological achievement. Users can directly scan and upload their files to accelerate the capture/import process.

 

This can be done by pressing the “Scan images” button (second from the left in the Index Screen navigation bar).

 

A message prompting you to download the native app will appear. Press the link in that message to initiate the download.

 

Once the download is complete, open the native app installer file and go through the installation process. This will detect your existing scanner(s) and build a bridge between them and the REV browser-based app. 

Once this process is complete, a window will open to choose the scanner you wish to use. Once you’ve chosen it, you will be prompted to select the file format in which you wish to scan. REV will save these settings for you. In case you have multiple scanners and would like to choose between them, you can do so by turning on the ‘select-scanner’ option from the settings menu. You can now capture images directly from your scanner to index them into REV.  

 

Indexing Files in REV

 

 

You land by default in the Index Screen and can return to it at any time with the “+” sign button.The indexing process is very simple:

  4. Hit the “Save” button at the bottom right of the indexing tab.

**In order to do a “wildcard” search, you can add an asterisk (*) followed by the characters you wish to search in the relevant field

 

 

If your search result consists of multiple pages you can navigate through them by simply using the “previous” and “next” buttons at the bottom of the page. You can also define the number of rows in your result table using the field in between those two buttons.

 

You can go back to the Search Screen and update your search criteria by clicking on the “Update search” button on the top right corner.
