Managing system objects

In this section:

1. Viewing object properties
   The properties of an object are the characteristics that a user defined, or the status information that RICOH ProcessDirector supplied. Objects include servers, notifications, media, and devices such as input devices and printers. Features might add other kinds of objects as well.
2. Updating object properties
   You can update the properties that define the characteristics of an object. Objects include servers, notifications, media, and devices such as input devices and printers. Features might add other kinds of objects.
3. Deleting objects
   You can delete an object if it is no longer needed. Objects include servers, notifications, media, and devices such as input devices and printers. Features might add other kinds of objects as well.
4. Exporting objects
   To reuse objects on another RICOH ProcessDirector system, you can export them for use on the other system. On the other system, you then import the objects. Examples of objects are input devices and printers.
5. Viewing object logs
   You can view the log for an object to see messages about its operations, such as property or state changes. Objects include servers, notifications, media, and devices such as input devices and printers. Features might add other kinds of objects as well.
6. Enabling objects
   Enabling an object makes it available to RICOH ProcessDirector. Objects include servers, notifications, media, and devices such as input devices and printers. Features might add other kinds of objects as well.
7. Disabling objects
   Disabling an object makes it unavailable to RICOH ProcessDirector. Objects include servers, notifications, media, and devices such as input devices and printers. Features might add other kinds of objects as well.
8. Compiling a list of objects and their properties
   You can compile a list of objects and the properties that define their characteristics. To compile the list, you export the entries in an object table to a Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file.
9. RICOH ProcessDirector servers
   A RICOH ProcessDirector system is made up of the primary server and, if needed, one or more application and secondary servers.
10. Input devices
    RICOH ProcessDirector supports various types of input devices. You can do a variety of tasks for input devices, such as enabling, disabling, connecting and disconnecting them.
11. Input files
    Input files are the data files that are sent to the RICOH ProcessDirector input devices defined for the installation. Input files include the files that contain job data as well as trigger files, list files, and other files that might be submitted with the data files. You can group input files into batches to submit them as a job.
12. Barcode readers
    Barcode readers are the system representations of your cameras and barcode scanners. You can do a variety of tasks for barcode readers, such as connecting and disconnecting them.
13. Orders
    Orders allow you to efficiently group multiple jobs together to be processed as a single order. This feature simplifies the handling of multiple jobs, making sure that all jobs within an order are managed together and completed in a coordinated manner.
14. Printers
    Printers are the RICOH ProcessDirector representations of your printer devices. You can do a variety of tasks for printers, such as starting, stopping, enabling, and disabling them.
15. Working with data in the Reports database
    After you collect data using the Reports feature, you can access that data and use it as input to your business intelligence software.
16. Repositories
    You can work with repositories to do a variety of tasks.
