'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeleForm Teleform]''' is a character recognition program used by the [[Data Processor]] to scan completed [[:Category:TISS|TISS]] forms before importing the data into the [[TISS database]] (currently [[TMSX]]). Teleform v10.7? is the current version being used as of late February, 2015.

==Hardware==
===Teleform Workstation===
The Scanner PC (workstation:  HSJJ387X4510QCP) in Trish's office has Teleform installed on it. The Teleform software and the overall process were modified for the upgrade to Windows 7.
 
===Multifunction Printer/Scanner===
The scanner on the multifunction printer (HSJJ387XPR01) in the [[main office]] is set up to scan to network share in order to be able to feed [[Teleform]].
 
The scanner has been configured with an option labeled:  '''Scan to Network'''.  This option saves the file(s) to the following network share:
*\\hsc1msfp0001.ad.wrha.mb.ca\intmed_cCMDB_ScanFolder
Currently the only users with access to this share are:
*[[Pagasa Torres]]

Teleform is a character recognition program used by the Data Processor to scan completed TISS forms before importing the data into the TISS28_Data.mdb. We use a network scanner for this.

Software

The Teleform suite consists of a number of separate programs or modules to support the designing and processing of data collection forms.

    • To restore the configuration, open TeleForm Maintenance and Utility on the new workstation and run Restore Snapshot.
      • Exporting the settings doesn't include the default.cfg file

The following file needs to be manually copied from old computer to new.

  • C:\ProgramData\Cardiff\TeleForm\Links\CapDir2\default.cfg

If the whole problem is about file shares having been changed, then TISS28.accdb has some module contents that need to be changed as well.

Settings to make sure the pdf files make it to \\ad.wrha.mb.ca\WRHA\HSC\shared\MED\MED_CCMED\

The location of the setting for where to store the output pdf is in Teleform Designer,

  • File, open the form named TISS28 prod 2012-12-11
  • menu form, autoexport setup
  • make sure the "C:\.." setting is set to yes, and the "\\ad.wrha.mb.ca\WRHA\HSC\shared\MED\MED_CCMED\..." one to no. this is counter intuitive! For some reason the settings to store the image in x: are stored in the file stored on c:... These settings are linked to the main form itself (TISS28 prod 2012-12-11) so they need to be setup via opening the form.
  • Most settings are located in TeleForm Designer via Utilities, Connect Agent Setup.
    • this include network pathnames

Before considering the switch done

  • confirm Pagasa can scan into TISS28.accdb, and without errors caused by update
