Many thanks to all concerned - I've recently started using Mayan - and I'm 
hugely impressed.  The UI seems very slick.

I am struggling, however, with something that my intuition tells me is 
likely to be a typical Mayan use-case.

I have thousands of letters... The documents need to be tagged by 
'correspondent' - and, when combined with the date on document, for this to 
be used as a "primary identifier".  Right now, the paper documents are not 
very logically organized.   My hope is that, by scanning them into Mayan, I 
can achieve the organization I require.  I've a sheet-fed scanner, so it is 
fairly easy for me to create (many thousands of) scanned documents. I've 
configured a "Staging Folder" - which was straightforward... but I don't 
see a neat way to manually enter meta data for each document (each document 
requires a very quick visual review on-screen - then entry of a date and 
tags.)

I'm struggling to see how best to provide each document with its date and 
tags. I've managed to update meta-data and tags using 'Actions' on the 
'Recent Documents' page for a dozen documents... but it seems a very 
cumbersome approach.  I'm sure I'm overlooking something.  Is there a 
straightforward way to streamline data entry of this meta-data for scanned 
documents?  When I use the 'Document Upload Wizard' - I have to choose the 
document type and the mandatory metadata 'date' before I get to see the 
document(s) in the staging folder.  Do I need to configure a 'workflow' to 
see the document before I have to provide its meta-data?  

By any chance can anyone point me in the right direction?

Steve
