# Work with documents, batches, and pages

> Manage batches, documents, and pages in the Scanning Station: create and rename them, assign document types, separate documents, and move or delete pages.

Images of scanned documents are placed in batches. A batch typically contains images of documents scanned in one go, and it can contain both documents and separate page images. When you first launch the Scanning Station, it creates an empty batch with the default name.

The Scanning Station can create batches and documents automatically during scanning.

Set up automatic separation and naming rules in one of these places:

* The **Batch Options** tab of the [Options](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/interface/options) dialog box.
* For a specific batch type, the [Batch Type Wizard](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/batch-type-wizard) when you create the batch type, or the **Batch Options** tab of the [Batch Type Properties](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/batch-type-properties) dialog box afterward.

## Create an empty batch

In the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window, use one of the following ways:

* Click the **Create New Batch** button on the toolbar.
* Right-click and select **New Batch** on the shortcut menu.
* Press **Ctrl+N**.

## Rename a batch or document

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the item">
    Select the batch or document in the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start editing">
    Click the name or press **F2**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the new name">
    Type a new name for the batch or document.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Create a document

In the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window or the [image window](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/image-win), select the pages to assemble into a document, then use one of the following ways:

* Click the **Create New Document** button on the Batches window toolbar.
* Right-click and select **Create Document** on the shortcut menu.
* Press **Ctrl+Shift+C**.

## Specify a document type

You can specify a document type during batch assembly in one of the following ways.

### In the Batches window

To display document types instead of their default names, select **Show Document Types instead of Names** on the **View** menu.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the list of document types">
    Press **F2**, click the document name, or right-click the document and select **Change Document Type** on the shortcut menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the type">
    Click the document type in the list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### In the Document Properties dialog box

Click the **Registration Parameters** tab and select the document type from the **Type** drop-down list.

### In the Registration Parameters window

Click the **Document** tab and select the document type from the **Document type** drop-down list.

## Disassemble a document

In the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window or the image window, select the document, then use one of the following ways:

* Click the **Disassemble Document** button on the Batches window toolbar.
* Right-click and select **Disassemble Document** on the shortcut menu.
* Press **Ctrl+Alt+D**.

The pages in the document move to the active batch, and the document itself is deleted.

## Separate a batch into documents automatically

Sorting images into documents by hand is time-consuming, so the Scanning Station includes automatic document separation.

<Note>
  If your setup separates batches into documents in FlexiCapture (which can happen when Document Definitions are applied), do not enable this feature.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set the separation options">
    Select **Tools → Options...**. In the **Options** dialog box, click the **Batch** tab and select the document separation options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the batch">
    In the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window, select the batch to separate into documents.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Separate the documents">
    On the **Edit** menu, select **Separate Documents**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Move a page

In the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window or the image window, point to the page you want to move, then hold down the left mouse button and drag the page to the document or batch. Alternatively, use the **Cut**, **Copy**, and **Paste** commands on the **Edit** menu.

## Delete a batch, document, or page

In the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window or the image window, select the items to delete, then use one of the following ways:

* Click the **Delete** button on the Batches window toolbar.
* Right-click and select **Delete** on the shortcut menu.
* Press **Del**.
