What’s New in RightFax 16.4?
The features were divided based on OpenText’s strategic product investment themes (i.e. where OpenText is spending its time and effort to makes its products better for users). These themes included Customer Experience, Business Process, Reach, Analytics, and Industry & Compliance.
New Customer Experience Features Include:
- RightFax FaxUtilWeb: a web-based RightFax end user client that reduces IT footprints and improves end user mobility.
- RightFax Content Search: RightFax can now store the OCR content of faxes directly on the database and allow users to search for relevant faxes based on keywords.
- RightFax Server Dashboard: configurable page within WebAdmin that improves visibility of server health and helps identify issues and bottlenecks.
- RightFax Reporting Automation: automates and simplifies the reporting process by eliminating the burden of manual reports. Reports can be set up to run at certain times or indefinitely.
- RightFax Fax Viewer Thumbnails: displays thumbnails of faxed documents. Allows users to quickly navigate large, complex documents and jump to specific pages.
New Business Process Features Include:
- RightFax Archive (Add-on module): allows organizations to keep faxes available to users indefinitely. Faxes are stored in a separate database to clear up production databases.

New Industry & Compliance Features Include:
