	An '''Import Watcher''' is a service that is required for importing digital documents, such as PDFs, into Grooper. The '''Import Watcher''' creates "Import Jobs" that bring in files to new '''Batches''' in Grooper. It is also required to automate scheduled imports as well as for ad-hoc user directed imports from the Imports Page.		An '''Import Watcher''' is a service that is required for importing digital documents, such as PDFs, into Grooper. The '''Import Watcher''' creates "Import Jobs" that bring in files to new '''Batches''' in Grooper. It is also required to automate scheduled imports as well as for ad-hoc user directed imports from the Imports Page.

	To make use of an '''Import Watcher''', you first will have to install the service via '''Grooper Command Console'''. If all you want to do is ad-hoc user directed imports, you're good to go after installing and starting the service. If you would like to set up a polling loop or set specific times to periodically import documents, you will be able to do that from the Grooper Web Client after you have installed the '''Import Watcher''' service.
