With Application Adapters for Oracle WebCenter, you can configure business application solutions such as Imaging Solution and Managed Attachments Solution to easily access, view, and act on your business transactions.
Solutions include the Imaging Solution, which provides imaging, capture, and workflow capabilities using Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging, and the Managed Attachments Solution, which enables business users to attach, scan, and retrieve documents stored in an Oracle WebCenter Content Server (Content Server) repository.
This chapter covers the following topics:
The Imaging Solution provides imaging, capture, and workflow capabilities using Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging. Depending on configuration, use the Imaging Solution for tasks such as the following:
Launch Imaging from your business application, and select and perform workflow tasks. When you view a selected task, you acquire it for your use and it is no longer available to other users.

Key entries in your business application while viewing images and related values in the Imaging viewer. See Keying Entries From Images.
Perform actions related to the workflow task, such as routing, canceling, updating, and completing tasks.
