Why Process Content?
Imagine that you have a file on your desktop that you’d like to bring into DocStar. The file is a contract that you’ve been working on and is stored in PDF format. On your desktop, it is named “Contract for Acme Co.PDF”
It’s a fitting name for the file however that name doesn’t cover all words that you’d like to catalogue this file by. Perhaps you want to add the Account Number and date as well. You could certainly do that, but the more information you add to the title, the messier it looks.
With DocStar, this document can be catalogued under many different fields. You aren’t limited to the file name or it’s location. Collecting all of the index fields for a content item is known as processing or filing.
