# Overview of the work of operators with a configured program

> Follow the operator workflow in a configured ABBYY FlexiCapture system: adding images, recognition, verification, and data export, stage by stage.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Distributed">
    Operators use a program that is preconfigured. Document processing includes the following stages:

    1. [Adding images](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-import)\
       Document processing starts with acquiring images - either by scanning or by loading images automatically using import profiles (e. g. Hot Folders). Scanning is performed by the Operator of the Scanning Station, automatic loading is performed by the Processing Stations.
    2. [Recognition](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-recognize)\
       Recognition is carried out automatically on the Processing Station: the program selects the appropriate Document Definition based on the positions of the static elements, applies the Document Definition, and recognizes the data in the fields specified in the Document Definition.
    3. [Verification](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-verification)\
       Verification the process of checking data is the most labor-intensive part of the Operator's work. It comprises:
       * [Verification of document assembly](/flexi-capture/operator-work/assembling) checking whether document pages have been assembled correctly
       * [Group verification](/flexi-capture/operator-work/group-verification-operator-work) a visual check on groups of identically recognized characters
       * [Field verification](/flexi-capture/operator-work/field-verification-operator-work) a check on uncertainly recognized characters within the context of fields with a known range of values
       * [Rule validation](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-verification#rule-verification) checking for rule errors
       * Batch integrity check - starting the integrity scripts and correcting any errors

    Documents can be verified on two stations.\
    Basic verification is done on the Data Verification Station, where only group and field verification modes are available to the Operator.\
    More complex verification is performed on the Verification Station, where apart from data verification the Verification Operator and the Senior Verification Operator may check document assembly, correct rule errors and perform batch integrity check.
    4\. [Data export](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-export)\
    Data are exported automatically on the Processing Station in accordance with the settings provided in the Document Definition. A batch is exported either immediately after it has been processed or after it has been confirmed by the Senior Verification Operator (the corresponding settings are made by the Administrator).

  <Tab title="Standalone">
    Operators use a program that is preconfigured for processing certain types of document. Document processing is the same for all document types and includes the following stages:

    1. [Adding images](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-import)\
       Adding document page images is easiest after you have configured [import profiles](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-import-profiles). You can also add images by scanning or loading them from files.
    2. [Starting the recognition process](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-recognize)\
       Recognition is an automatic process: the program identifies the Document Definition based on the location of static elements preconfigured in Definitions, applies the Document Definition, and recognizes data in the fields specified in the Document Definition. Before starting the recognition process, you can analyze documents or their pages and apply the relevant Document Definition to the image.
    3. [Verification](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-verification)\
       Verification the process of checking data is the most labor-intensive part of the Operator's work. It comprises:
       * [Verification of document assembly](/flexi-capture/operator-work/assembling) checking whether document pages have been assembled correctly
       * [Group verification](/flexi-capture/operator-work/group-verification-operator-work) a visual check on groups of identically recognized characters
       * [Field verification](/flexi-capture/operator-work/field-verification-operator-work) a check on uncertainly recognized characters within the context of fields with a known range of values
       * [Verification in the Document Editor](/flexi-capture/operator-work/verification-doc-window) checking errors in the Document Editor window including rule validation
    4. [Data export](/flexi-capture/brief/brief-export)\
       Export is performed at the click of a button according to export settings configured in the Document Definition. You can also export data to a file or database without using the export settings of a Document Definition.\
       Select the Delete documents after export option (on the Export Destinations tab of the **Project →** Project Properties... menu) to automatically delete documents after export.

    <Note>
      For the documents to be processed automatically, use the following settings:
    </Note>

    * Create an import profile to import images automatically.
    * Select the Recognize added images automatically option on the Document Processing tab of the **Tools →** Options... menu
    * On the Workflow tab of the **Batch Type Properties** dialog box, select the Skip verification and data verification if percentage of characters that need verification is equal or less than option.
    * On the Export Destinations tab in the Document Definition properties select the Enable auto export option to export document automatically.
    * Select the Delete documents after export option, to automatically delete documents after export.
