Documentation Request: Getting Started Guide for new users, how to mass import?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After reading the documentation and watching the handy and informative youtube videos, as a new user I'm still left a bit confused about how to actually "get started" with using papermerge. I think it would be useful to have two or three real-world use cases / personas and corresponding guide on how to actually begin.
For example, as a user:
- I am brand new to scanning documents, no existing scanned files, getting started from scratch.
- I have some scanned documents that I want to add from my local computer. I have between 10 and 1,000 documents stored in folders
/Taxes/2015
,/Taxes/2016
,/Healthcare
, etc. and I want to load these into Papermerge. - I am coming from a competing document storage system and want to migrate my files (e.g.
Mayan EDMS
,Teedy
,Paperless NG
, etc.)
Assuming the above make sense, then I'd be looking for the following new sections of documentation:
- The Basics: how to add documents to Papermerge? What is the inbox? How do I move documents from the inbox to folders? Should I use folders, tags, or some combination?
- How to Mass Import: what is the best way to move an existing (organized by directory) batch of documents into Papermerge?
- How to Migrate: system-specific instructions for users to migrate from other competing/similar systems.
