A connector defines the connection configuration required by scan workflows to deliver documents to external systems. Each type of external system has its specific configuration properties.
It is possible to define the advanced configuration properties of a workflow independently of the selected type of connector.
It is also possible to create several connectors of the same type – for example, two file system type connectors, each of which accesses a different shared folder and authenticates using different credentials. A single connector may be used as the scanned document destination in multiple workflows.
How to configure connectors for different types of external systems is explained in the next section.
