Barracuda System Features


A Significant Upgrade is being developed. This version will include the ability to apply your own indexing to images that you scan. No longer will you be dependent on FicheNet Imaging Solutions to provide these steps. With the new package you will be able to scan and index and store your documents all by your self.

Barracuda retrieves images and data from:

  • A CD-ROM drive - best for single CD-ROM applications of 15,000 - 8.5x11 pages (about 4 standard file boxes) or less.
  • A local hard drive - best for large applications using a single work station.
  • A network server - recommended installation for larger applications requiring multiple work stations

File formats:

  • .tif (industry standard)
  • .bmp
  • .jpg
  • .gif
  • Barracuda DOES NOT WORK WITH PDF FILES
Multiple retrieval work stations can easily be set up.
 
Powerful multi-field and sub-string searching for all keywords in the database:
  • Basic program is set up with 4 (see note in user notes below) searchable fields.
  • Can contain up to 15 individual fields of data.
  • Search across several applications from within the same software program.
  • This data can be edited via a supervisor password by the user or can be disabled entirely.
  • Data is compiled using objective indexing by a FicheNet Imaging Solutions indexing specialist
Additional user notes field. This field has several options:
  • This field can be set to operate as a fifth search field (NOTE- exactly as the other four fields above)
  • Or can operate independently as a 'live' always editable field for the user with no password protection
  • Or can operate independently with password protection.
Thumbnail viewing capability allows for many smaller images to be viewed at one time, to speed with retrieval. The thumbnails are sizable by the user.
 
Viewing features include:
  • Fit to height.
  • Fit to width.
  • Thumbnail view.
  • Zoom to a user drawn stretch box.
  • Customized zooming with a locking feature that locks all successive images/files to the user set stretch box area. (great for large drawings)
Right and Left page rotation.
  • Also with a locking features that locks all successive images/files to the user set rotation setting. (Again, Barracuda will remember locked settings from image to image and file to file.)
Printing includes:
  • Print single page or all pages.
  • Print user selected range of pages.
  • Print the zoomed (stretch box) area only. (A fantastic feature for zooming in on an area of a larger engineering drawings)
Administrator functions
  • Import entire volumes of images and data records at a time. Used for importing new volumes of data and image files.
  • Change root path. Allows for changes in drive letters or network settings without the need to re-import everything again.
  • Back up the database. (Images are not editable so the backups are the original installation files and database)
  • Restore the back up database.
  • Password protection for supervisor and [e]ditable search fields. (other levels of protection can be setup per your request.)
  • Edit the program background and foreground colors using your system color pallet.
