Select Connectors. The connectors licensed for your environment are listed in the Connectors details pane.
-
Double-click the DMS connector to open the Properties dialog box.
-

-
In the Billing section, click on the drop-down list and select one of the following options.
-
No Billing (the default) - If you do not want the connector to support billing codes.
-
Billing Selectable - If you want the connector to support billing, but do not require outbound documents to have billing codes associated with them.
-
Billing Mandatory - If you want the connector to require all outbound documents to have billing codes associated with them.
-
-
Define the billing fields the DMS connector should validate. For instructions, see Adding or modifying billing fields that need validation.
-
If necessary, reorder the list of fields. The order in this list should match the order in the
-
In the DMS Configuration section, click Configure to configure the connector for your DMS. The Configuration wizard appears.
-
Follow the steps in the configuration wizard. The steps vary based on the DMS you are using.
-

-
Click OK.
Adding or modifying billing fields that need validation
To add or modify billing fields that need validation
-
Click Add or select an existing field in the list.
-
Click Properties.
-
Go to the General section. In the Display Name text box, enter an appropriate name. (The DMS connector displays the list of billing fields by their names.)
-
In the DMS section, select Must be validated against DMS's billing codes if you want the DMS connector to validate the contents of this field using your company's DMS or document repository. Enter the names of the following fields.
-
validate - Field in the DMS or repository that provides the validation data.
-
lookup - Field in the DMS or document repository where the DMS connector looks up the billing data that requires validation. Frequently, this is the same field as the validate field.
-
parent - Field in the DMS or document repository that is integrally associated with the lookup field. For example, matter data is always associated with client data. Thus, a client field is often the parent field to a matter field. Using this example, the connector needs to validate the client data before it can validate the matter data in the appropriate text boxes.
Note: When validation is enabled, the connector validates billing data associated with all outbound documents and faxes. When validation fails, the server fails the document or fax.
-
-
In the Options section, select a minimum or maximum field length. This step is optional. When the data supplied by the user in AccuRoute Desktop is shorter than the minimum field length or longer than the maximum field length configured here, AccuRoute Desktop fails to generate a Routing Sheet.

Click OK.
