How to retrieve multiple audio files at one time (IDC)

Overview

In some circumstances, a user of the IDC will need to retrieve multiple files at one time from a PDR or network share.  In this case, fast retrieval and automatic subject assignment is preferred to creating individual dictations with custom subjects and settings.

Solution

The IDC supports this from the File menu in the Main window.  Click the Retrieve File(s) button.  Browse to the drive letter of the PDR or other storage location to locate the audio files.  Use the Ctrl key to select as many files as desired.  Once the range of files is selected, click Open.  The IDC now retrieves each file, applies the default settings (as defined in Settings/User Settings) and creates automatic subjects based on the date and time.  Any job(s) can be opened and modified before sending, but no changes are necessary.
