Hi @Fabio_T

It depends on what you mean with “scan”.

  • Photo is OK.

  • Photo and convert to PDF is not possible.

  • Uploading File is OK

  • Reading a document: it depends on your need. Mybe this can help you :

then would it be possible in the image capture phase to select multiple images?

Hi @Fabio_T

Not “on the fly” as you would do with a Whatsapp conversation for example, but you can almost.

It should be structured with parent-child tables, and an option “is a part of” in the Ref column of the Child tables.

You may have further explanations at looking with the search bar in the community.

it would be amazing to have a built in function to convert an image to a scanned format for use with documents… e.g. allow me to specify some common parameters such as black/white, contrast, etc to be able to have an image field designed for someone to upload a photo of a document and to ingest it and filter it to give me scan quality.
