The Web Capture Station is used to contribute information from paper documents to the system. The Operator scans paper documents, corrects scanned images (if necessary), verifies and corrects the recognized data, and then exports the corrected data.
The Web Capture Station works over the Internet. To connect to the station, either Basic authentication or authentication by means of the FlexiCapture Authentication Module can be used. To log in to the station, use the link https://<ApplicationServer>/FlexiCapture12/Capture, where <ApplicationServer> is the name of the computer on which the Application Server is installed.
Limitations of the web interface
Some features of the rich stations are unavailable when working through the web interface, for example:
- Automatic checking of some rules (the check is performed when the user clicks the Check rules button or accepts a document or a batch).
- Document analysis and re-recognition. For non-matched or incorrectly matched fields, the values must be entered manually; for FlexiLayouts, you can also use fast input of recognized data from the cache. Documents with a fixed layout can be sent to the server, where the fields are re-recognized. For documents with both fixed and flexible layouts, you can mark Document Definitions to be matched and then send the documents to the Recognition stage for matching.
Download export results
Once a batch has been processed, the processing results can be downloaded to the Operator’s computer. To enable the Operator to download results, set up the project properties and the Document Definition as follows:
- In the Project Properties dialog box, leave the Export root path field empty.
- In the Document Definition, set the export type to Export to image files or Export to data files, and specify a relative (not absolute) path to the export files (for example,
Export\Results).
Export results are then stored in the ABBYY FlexiCapture database (or in the File Storage Folder) and remain available for download by the Operator who exported them until the corresponding batch is removed from the server.
The Document Definition may include other export profiles, such as export to SharePoint; in that case, the Operator can download export results for all the profiles set up as described above.
Set up automatic cleanup to prevent storage overflow.
Operator roles
When configuring Web Capture Station custom roles, you cannot restrict an Operator’s access to data operations or task operations. Only two standard Operator roles can be configured for this station: Verification Operator and Senior Verification Operator.
