The Batch window contains a table of images collected for creating or fine-tuning a FlexiLayout. Its columns show information about the operations performed on each image.

​
Work with multiple batches

The same FlexiLayout/Classifier is used for all the images in all the batches in the project.
ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio lets you work with multiple batches within one project. This lets you put images from different sources into groups and work with each group separately. By default, every new project contains one batch. You can add, remove, and edit batches, provided that there remains at least one batch in the project.

​
Create or edit a batch

To create a new batch or edit an existing one, open the Batches dialog box in one of the following ways:
  • Click Batches… on the Batch menu.
  • Click the Batches button in the Batch pane.
The Batches dialog box lists all existing batches with the following information about each one:

​
Batch properties

To open the properties dialog box of a batch, click the Edit button. The General tab contains the following information:
By default, project settings are applied to all the batches in the project.
Batches can also have named parameters, which you can create and edit on the Named parameters tab of the properties dialog of a batch.

​
Switch between batches and move pages

You can switch between batches in one of the following ways:
  • Use the drop-down list in the Batch pane.
  • Select a batch in the Batches dialog box.
You can also move images from one batch to another in one of the following ways:
  • Right-click an image and select Move Pages to Batch… on the shortcut menu.
  • Click Move Selected Pages to Another Batch on the Batch menu.

Right-click the window title (Batch) to open a shortcut menu for adjusting the width of table columns and for showing or hiding columns. The menu provides these commands: Not all columns can be used for filtering. Filtering is available for Analyzed, Reference Alternative, Matched Alternative, Reference Document Number, Reference Sequence Number, Matched Document Number, Matched Sequence Number, and Source. When several values or columns serve as filtering criteria, pages that do not satisfy at least one criterion are hidden. To reset a filter, right-click the column name and select Reset filter on the shortcut menu. The shortcut menu also displays all the available properties of the pages in the batch as columns: The Training Layout State column can show the following states:

Shortcut menu commands for the classifier

For a classifier, the Batch window shortcut menu provides these commands: Not all columns can be used for filtering. Filtering is available for Classification Fidelity, Reference Class, Classification Result, and Source. When several values or columns serve as filtering criteria, pages that do not satisfy at least one criterion are hidden. To reset a filter, right-click the column name and select Reset filter on the shortcut menu. The shortcut menu also displays the following page properties as columns:

​
Column width and visibility

To show or hide a column, click its name in the shortcut menu. A flag appears next to the names of visible columns. The Batch window must contain at least one visible column, and the last visible column cannot be hidden. You can also change the width and location of a column with the mouse. To change the width, drag the column’s edge until the column is the width you want. If you change a column’s width to 0, the column becomes hidden.
The contents of the shortcut menu can differ depending on the context. For example, if the Allow multipage documents parameter in the FlexiLayout properties is set to false, the commands related to multipage documents are not available on the shortcut menu. If a project has only one alternative, the Match Selected Alternative item is not available on the shortcut menu.

Tooltips in the Batch window

A tooltip is a small window that appears when you position the mouse pointer over an interface element and briefly describes it. A tooltip can change depending on context. For example, the tooltip for the Red cross icon icon in the Analyzed column can be either Matching assembling differs from etalon or Matched with no reference alternative, depending on the state of the page.
