System Objects

System objects are items you define to represent people, jobs, and other elements of your system that are used for processing orders in RICOH TotalFlow Producer. Examples of system objects are Customers, Jobs, or Orders.

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. Jobs and Orders
    Jobs and Orders are system objects used to submit print files to RICOH TotalFlow Producer.
  6. Printers
    Printer objects represent the printers in your environment that receive print jobs from RICOH TotalFlow Producer.
  7. Users
    Anyone who works with RICOH TotalFlow Cloud applications must be defined as a User.
