A field can have no region on the image. Names of fields without a region are marked with a red asterisk in the list. Such fields can store intermediate results of calculations performed on the values of other fields. For example, you can combine the values of several fields with the field values merge rule and save the result to a field without a region. Fields without a region have all the properties of their field type, and their values can also be exported.

​
Create a field without a region

You can create a field without a region in one of the following ways:
  • In the Document Definition editor, click Edit → Create Field and create a field of the required type. The field name appears in the list marked with an asterisk. ABBYY FlexiCapture creates the field in the document structure but does not create a region for it on the image.
  • Delete the region of an ordinary field. Select the field on the image or in the list, and then select Delete Region from the shortcut menu. The region is deleted, and the field name is marked with a red asterisk.

​
Add a region to a field without a region

Select the field-without-region tool on the toolbar and draw the region on the image. If the list contains fields marked with an asterisk, FlexiCapture prompts you to select the name of one of them.
