I was concerned about an attachment file being either duplicated or lost if there was a 2-step PUT and DELETE. >I'd suggest that for each scanned image create a new document. Then >you can go back and add metadata at your own pace. The trick I was hoping to pull off was to have someone in a mailroom bulk scan the paper, then have someone 'upstairs' create documents with meaningful doc IDs. For example, "invoice-020023" or "po-20332." Also, a single scan operator with a high speed scanner can keep several metadata collectors busy, maximizing throughput. Making a separate doc per file from the get go, per Chris's suggestion, is not a problem but how can I change the doc ID to something more meaningful after the doc is added? Having a human-meaningful ID It is a convenience, for sure, but these paper documents already have a perfect doc ID right on the page. It would be a shame to have to generate another random GUID. -- Justin Walgran
