When you are scanning items for readers, we can now delivery images (single JPG, PDF, GIF, PNG, TIF or ZIP file) via Aeon itself, directly through the transaction.
Make sure you are on the "Process" tab of the Request (which must have a photoduplication status active)
Then, click "upload item" on the right side of the ribbon. Choose the File you would like to upload. It does not need to have been renamed with the transaction number. That will be done automatically.
At this point, depending on the size of the file, Aeon will hang for a while. Wait until the confirmation pop-up appears.
The Order status of the transaction(s) must be "Order Delivered" for the image to be accessible to the reader.
You should use the email template "HOU - ItemDelivered" (on the Email tab of a transaction) to let the reader know their order is ready
NOTE: Only one file may be delivered per transaction number (ZIP files would be a way to attach multiple images for one transaction)
Creating ZIP files for multiple JPG images
You may need to deliver individual images in some instances, when a single JPG or PDF won't suffice. Here's a quick guide to creating a ZIP file in Windows.
- Select all of the images you would like to deliver via ZIP file
- Right-click on the selected images
- Choose "Send to" > "Compressed (zipped) folder"
- Rename the ZIP folder with the transaction number (e.g. 175196.zip)
- Drag and drop or copy to pdf folder in the Aeon Web Delivery
- Follow instructions (4) and (5) above in "Delivering Images with Aeon Web Delivery"
- Be aware, that some readers may have trouble opening ZIP folders
