Easy Scan destinations

On the Destinations tab of the Easy Scan action node properties, you can define where the scanned file is sent.

To add a new destination, click +Add. The Destination panel opens where you can set the target destination.

Depending on the selected destination type, the panel contains the General, Parameters and Advanced sections.

General section

  • Type - Select the destination type from the drop-down. Available options: Cloud storage, Custom destination, Email, FTP, Fax Server, Folder, Secured link, User’s email, User’s storage.

  • Filename Template - Here you can create the template of the scanned file name. The text of the template can be combined with MyQ parameters to provide additional information about the scanned file. The following parameters are available: %username%, %fullname%, %timestamp%, %date%, %time%, %originalSubject%, %ipaddress%, %scanId%, %usernotes%, %printerName%, %location%, %serialNumber%, %assetNo%, %printerContact%, %counter%.

  • Title - Add a title for the destination.

  • Attach metadata file - If this option is selected, MyQ sends the scanned file with an XML file attachment, containing the scanned file's metadata.
