Prerequisites

Install the ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Project Setup Station before you configure the project. It is required for both ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed Edition and ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud.

How export settings are organized

ABBYY FlexiCapture uses projects to process documents. ABBYY FlexiCapture identifies the type of each document and applies the Document Definition prepared for that type. Every Document Definition has one or more export profiles, which determine how document images and data are exported. Setting up export to Blue Prism means creating a new export profile in your project.

Open or create a project

If you already have a project that needs export to Blue Prism, open it. Otherwise, create one. Launch the Project Setup Station, and in the Open Project dialog box click one of the following:
  • Create New to create a new project.
  • Browse to open an existing project stored on your local drive.
  • Browse from Server to open a project that you previously uploaded to the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application Server.
The distribution package ships with a preconfigured project you can upload instead. Find it in ABBYY FlexiCapture Connector for BluePrism\Multi-Task Package\FlexiCapture Sample Projects.

Upload the project to the Application Server

1

Start the upload

Click File → Upload Project to Server.
2

Specify the server and credentials

In the Upload Project to Application Server dialog box, specify the address of the server, the protocol to be used, and your credentials.For ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud, complete the URL field with the ABBYY FlexiCapture Cloud instance that your company is registered in:
  • https://europe.flexicapture.com
  • https://australia.flexicapture.com
  • https://usa.flexicapture.com
Then specify the name of your company in the Tenant name field, select the Use server authentication option, and enter your credentials.
3

Test the connection and upload

Click Test Connection to check that you have entered the correct data, and then click OK to upload the project.
4

Open the uploaded project

When the Operation completed message appears, click Close. In the next dialog box, click Yes to open the uploaded project from the server.

Version mismatch when uploading to the cloud

Uploading a project to the cloud, or opening one from the cloud, can fail with this message:
The version of your Project Setup Station does not match the version of the cloud-based Application Server. To obtain a compatible version of ABBYY FlexiCapture, contact the ABBYY sales office servicing your region at https://www.abbyy.com/contacts.
