How can I get training for ImageNow Version 6.1?
An online tutorial is available for ImageNow 6.1. This tutorial covers the same material as the ImageNow Basics 6 classroom course, but without the hands-on learning. The classroom course has been in high demand and many people have found themselves on a wait list. With the online tutorial, you can view the content whenever it is convenient for you. Though this tutorial from UTTC is not EFS specific, it does cover most of the basic tasks and features that ImageNow users need to know. Many of the topics are broken out into subtopics as well, so you can view only those topics you need to learn about, and in any order. You can view the tutorial here.

How do I get access to ImageNow?
If you are a financial user and have access to FSUMPRD, you are automatically granted access to view documents in ImageNow. If you perform cluster duties such as Voucher/Journal Preparer, you will be granted additional access to see documents in the cluster imaging workflow queue.
What is my ImageNow password?
Your ImageNow password is neither the internet password nor MKey. You should have received the password either via campus mail or contacted by Data Security by phone. Call 1-HELP if you have not received the password/misplaced it.
Return to top of pageIn ImageNow I can only see Help icon OR in WebNow I get an error message when I log in to WebNow saying "Your user account does not have search privileges or access to any workflow queues. Please contact your ImageNow administrator for these privileges."
Your account was created but has not been granted the proper access in ImageNow. If you just received your ImageNow password, please try again in a couple of days. There is a script that grants user the proper access in ImageNow based on their PeopleSoft role.
What is WebNow? Do I need WebNow or ImageNow?
WebNow is simply a web interface of ImageNow. It doesn't require any software installation on the user machine. Departmental users/inquiry users and approvers are recommended to use WebNow. Voucher and Journal Preparers are required to have ImageNow client installed on their desktop.
How do I login to WebNow?
Go to https://imagenow.umn.edu/webnow/. Browsers compatible with WebNow are Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Be sure to bookmark the site so you can return to it easily.
Return to top of pageWhen I try to login to WebNow, I get a message "Hey, it worked. The SSL/TLS-aware Apache web server was successfully installed on this Web site."
Incorrect URL was printed on the letter that Data Security sent along with your password. Please see section "How do I login to WebNow"
I get a "No Internet Explorer page match found" when I tried to link.
Make sure you're using IE with PeopleSoft. Version 6 and 7 are compatible with ImageNow.
Return to top of pageI get an "Error in get keys. Couldn't find a template to match the data screen" message when I tried to link even though I use Internet Explorer.
Linking through multiple tabs should work in ImageNow. If this happens, open the Voucher page on a new browser window and try to link again.
How do I delete a document in ImageNow?
Once a document has been linked to the voucher and routed forward to completion, it cannot be deleted. If the document is still in the workflow queue, route the document forward then choose F AP Voucher Delete on the prompt window.
Return to top of pageHow can I find user guides or training on ImageNow?
Please visit the Imaging page to download user guides and view online tutorials.
When I try to search, I can only see the option to search by "Drawer, Folder, Tab, F3, F4, F5" OR my headings say "Drawer, Folder, Tab, F3, F4, F5" - what do those mean?
These are the default names used to identify document keys in ImageNow. Users are recommended to change this default setting so they can easily identify search criteria and result.

NOTE: When accessing the site, you may be directed to a warning Web page that states, "There is a problem with this website's security certificate." The site is still secure. Click on the link that states, "Continue to this website..." This message appears because we haven't paid the fee to continue the third party security certification on the site.
Once you are past this "certificate warning" page, you should be in DocuWare and able to use it via the Web as usual.
