Abstract
The system, method, and apparatus provides a device for scanning documents and importing and forwarding scanned documents based on document identifiers. Documents are received and reviewed for entry into the document management system. An identifier is associated with each document based on the level of available information about the document. An identifier is assigned to each document. Each document with its assigned identifier is scanned. Documents are then imported into the document management system or forwarded to a recipient for additional review. Separator identifiers may be used to increase efficiency. Further, the system may allow certain users to use reporting functions to access information about the document management system and the recipients of documents.
