Fully-qualified image document names

A fully-qualified image document name includes the complete path to where the image document file or managed image document resides.  There are several formats, depending on the file system or document management database in use.  Here are some examples:

Windows c:\insurance\claims\claim234.tif

UNC (Universal Naming Convention) \\INSURANCE\CLAIMS\CLAIM234.TIF

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) http://www.dxcessinsurance.com/auto/claims.tif or ftp://ftp.dxcess.ins.net/pub/access/claims.tif

Imaging 1.x Server Document Manager database Image://DXCESS/ins_db1:/INSURANCE/AUTO/CLAIMS/CLAIM234

Imaging 1.x Server Image File volume Image://DXCESS\images:\auto\claims.tif

Imaging 3.x Server Document Manager database Imagex://claim234

Notes: URLs can be either HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) or FTP (File Transfer Protocol) addresses.  Keep in mind that some properties and methods do not support URLs.

The file or document names of images saved to Imaging 1.x Servers must not contain any of the following characters: Angle brackets (< >), asterisks (*), colons (:), question marks (?), quotes ("), slashes (\ /), or vertical bars (|).

The use of the UNC and URL formats is available with Imaging for Windows Professional Edition V2.0 only.
