3 Uploading Content
3.1 Creating an Electronic Image
Before you can upload a document, it must be in an electronic format such as a TIFF or JPEG image, a PDF file, or a Microsoft Word business document. If your document is not in an electronic format, scan the document to create and capture an electronic image. You can use a desktop scanner or your company may have individuals or a department responsible for scanning all paper documentation.
After it has been scanned and before you can upload, you will need to know where the electronic copy of the document is. If you scanned the document yourself, you likely saved it to your local file system or to a networked file system to which you have access. If the document was scanned by someone else, talk to them to see if it was saved or could be moved to a networked file system to which you have access. You must be able to navigate to the electronic file from within the Imaging interface in order to upload the file.
