In ABBYY FlexiCapture, documents are processed in batches. Batches can be created automatically or manually when you scan documents or import document images. Each batch is assigned a type, which determines the document processing settings used for the batch. You can create multiple batch types for the most common combinations of processing settings. An operator then selects the batch type that best suits their needs. You can use multiple batch types within one project. You create batch types in the Create New Batch Type dialog box.

​
Open the Create New Batch Type dialog box

1

Open the project

In a distributed installation, start the Project Setup Station (Start → All Programs → ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Stations → Project Setup Station). Then open a project from the server (File → Open Project from Server). In a standalone installation, open the project.
2

Open the batch types list

On the Project menu, click Batch Types.
3

Create a batch type

In the Batch Types dialog box, click New.
In a distributed installation, ABBYY FlexiCapture automatically uploads new batch types to the Application Server. Operators can use a new batch type only after the Administrator makes it available to them, which the Administrator does when assigning operator roles.

​
Batch type properties

The properties dialog box of a batch type has the following tabs:

​
Document Definition matching order

The Default batch type specifies the list of Document Definitions and the order in which they are applied. To edit the list, use the Add and Delete buttons. Document Definitions are applied in the order in which they appear in the list. To change the order, click Change FlexiLayout Matching Order to open the Document Definitions Order dialog box, and then click Move Up or Move Down. To speed up FlexiLayout matching, select the Use first acceptable FlexiLayout option. If this option is not selected, ABBYY FlexiCapture matches all available FlexiLayouts and selects the best match. You can also select this option in the Default batch type.
