Registration parameters are textual properties that identify a specific batch or document, such as the scanning date or the name of the scanning operator. A registration parameter can be required or optional. An image import profile can assign registration parameters to a batch that it creates automatically. You can also assign them to batches and documents on the Scanning Station and send them to ABBYY FlexiCapture together with the images. You configure registration parameters on the Registration Parameters tab of the Batch Properties or Document Properties dialog box (click Properties… on the shortcut menu). You may need to modify registration parameters if:
  • You use a FlexiLayout to check whether certain data appear on a document.
  • You store known information that may affect field search in a document’s registration parameters. For example, you can store a detected classifier class or a preset vendor there and then pass it into the FlexiLayout.
You can pass a registration parameter to a main or an additional FlexiLayout. In this case, the input named parameter of the FlexiLayout in ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio must be of type String, and its name must match the name of the registration parameter in ABBYY FlexiCapture. You can use registration parameter names and values as a filter for the task queue on the Web Verification Station. For more information, see Task queues.
Specify different names for batch and document registration parameters. If the names are identical, ABBYY FlexiCapture uses the document registration parameter, for example, when generating file names during export.

Named registration parameters

You can use named registration parameters to specify document processing settings.
  • fc_Predefined:DefinitionsToMatch – Specifies which Document Definitions to use. The value can be the name of a Document Definition, the name of a section, or the names of multiple sections separated by semicolons, for example:
    A scanning operator can fill in this parameter manually or with a script. You can also fill it in at any stage preceding recognition, when it becomes clear which Document Definition applies (for example, as a result of classification).
  • fc_Predefined:DocumentError – If this parameter is not empty, ABBYY FlexiCapture marks the document as containing an error at the export stage and exports it using the export profile designed for documents with errors. The error description contains the value of this parameter.

Store e-mail message headers in registration parameters

When you import images from an e-mail folder using the MAPI, IMAP, or POP3 protocols, ABBYY FlexiCapture automatically writes the details of the corresponding e-mail message into the registration parameters of the newly created batch. It adds the following parameters. To stop ABBYY FlexiCapture from writing the e-mail message details into the registration parameters of a newly created batch, set the following Windows registry key to false:
