In DocScanFx all the settings for the application are contained in the DocScan.INI file. An INI file's settings are grouped by section names surrounded by brackets. A sample DocScan.INI file is shown at the end of this article. Note the separate [License], [Dicom], and [COMMON] sections. After those three sections are several distinct "mode" sections. The first one in the example is named [Scan to Recent Studies (Auto Search)].
A "mode" is a named group of settings for using DocScanFx in a certain way. End users of DocScanFx can be given a choice of the different modes to pick from. Their choice of mode will decide everything from what options they have for adding images (scanning, screen capture, file import, forms, etc.), to how and where the images will be stored. Global settings from the [COMMON] section can be overwritten by repeating the same setting in the mode. The name of the mode in brackets can be any text that doesn't conflict with another INI section name. This same name is what is presented to the end user in the "Modes" drop down menu.
