2.4. Understanding Document Timelines

Document Timelines give a week-by-week summary of the number of documents and pages in a given document list. The timelines are organized around the document's modified date, so they represent approximately when the document was added to the system. To view the timeline for a given document list, click into the list then click the "View Timeline" button at the top of the list.

Timelines can be useful for determining how quickly new documents are added to your document management system. For example, the timeline of the Processing and Processed document lists can provide how many documents and pages that are eligible for OCR have been added to the system in the past 52 weeks. This will give an approximate rate of new documents per year.

To view the timeline for processed documents:

1. Click on the Processed link on the left side of the screen.
   

2. On the "Documents of Type Processed Screen" locate and select "View Timeline" link.

3. This will take you to the page for "The Timeline of Processed" documents.

This screen will show how many documents and pages were processed from week to week (cumulatively as well). The timeline can also be exported as a CSV or Image file by selecting the appropriate button (this will give you the full history as opposed to going back only 100 weeks).
