Search for Images Using CarbonCopy Search

Introduction
In some instances paper documents in the organization are digitized and stored in a system developed by FirstFleet, Inc. called CarbonCopy.  CarbonCopy is a tool that allows us to control access to documents that are indexed to various pieces of information with our environment (orders, trucks, employee, etc).  There are several means to interface to the system for image retrieval. This document is meant to cover the basic retrieval interface called CarbonCopy Search. 

If you do not have a CarbonCopy or iUser account please contact support@firstfleetinc.com to have your credentials created.

How to Use
CarbonCopy Search is a simple Windows based program that allows the its user to enter their credentials and query the system based on attribute values.  The program is presently installed on all Terminal Servers and can be installed on your local computer if you so desire.  The program is accessible from within the Start Menu under the path All Programs - FFIT Utilities - CarbonCopy Search and for those users of the TMW system you will find it in the Custom - View Images Search menu.
