System Objects

System objects are items that you define in TotalFlow Cloud applications and use to build your solution just as you want it. In Account Administration, some examples of system objects are users and connectors.

The system objects you define in Account Administration might be used across TotalFlow Cloud applications.

In this section:

  1. Automations
    Automations monitor your system, waiting for specific events to occur, such as a job arriving in the system or an order status changing to Error. The automation evaluates the job or order and, if the conditions are correct, does a predefined action, such as assigning a job to a hot folder.
  2. Connectors
    Connectors are applications stored on your local systems that create a link between cloud applications and software or devices installed on-premises. This connection creates a communication path between the systems. To connect to RICOH TotalFlow Cloud, you install RICOH Cloud Connector on a server in your network.
  3. Customers
    Customers are your clients. They represent companies who submit jobs to your system for processing.
  4. Hot Folders
    A Hot Folder is an application object that automatically transfers job files to a predefined folder location, either on a network or local drive.
  5. Printers
    Printer objects represent the printers in your environment that receive print jobs from RICOH TotalFlow Producer.
  6. Users
    Anyone who works with RICOH TotalFlow Cloud applications must be defined as a User.
