About the Batch Type Settings dialog box
(Web Scanning) The Batch Type Settings dialog box displays the settings of the selected batch type that were specified by an Administrator. (Web Scanning) Batch type settings are broken down into groups, which are displayed on separate tabs. (Web Capture) Batch types are created in the Project Setup Station. You can create one or several batch types for each project. The Web Station only lets you adjust existing batch types. You cannot create new batches in the Web Station. (Web Capture) Batch type properties specified in the Project Setup Station concern batch processing on the server. Properties specified in the Web Capture Station concern scanning, document creation, and sending batches to the server. (Web Capture) The Administrator can edit batch type settings and save the new settings on the server. Web Capture Operators can then use these settings in their work. Operators do not need to create and configure batch types themselves, which helps avoid errors.Open the Batch Type Settings dialog box
(Web Capture) To edit the settings for a batch type, select it in the Batch Type field in the Batches view and click the
Batch Type Settings button. The station opens the Batch Type Settings dialog box.
Controls on every tab
(Web Capture) Batch type properties are divided into groups, each displayed on a separate tab of the Batch Type Settings dialog box. Each tab contains the following controls:- (Web Capture) Return to Defaults — resets all modified settings to their default values.
- (Web Capture) Forbid changes by operator — when this field is filled in, Operators cannot modify the batch properties on this tab. To let Operators change these properties, clear the field.
Scanning settings
The Scanning tab configures scanning settings for pages of this batch type. Its interface works like the Scanning Options dialog box. For more information, see Scanning options.Batch naming and priority
The Batch tab specifies batch parameters such as priority and the naming scheme for batches of this type. You can use parameters when creating the naming scheme. These parameters are replaced with actual values during project creation. The parameters are the time and/or date the batch is created, the batch type, and the batch number. To add a tag, use the buttons under the field. You can also use the values of batch registration parameters (created or imported from the server on the Parameters tab) for automatic batch naming.Document naming and creation
The Document tab specifies a document naming scheme, in the same way as the batch naming scheme, and selects an automatic document creation algorithm. You can use parameters when creating the naming scheme. These parameters are replaced with actual values during project creation. The parameters are the barcode value, the document number in a batch, the date and/or time the document was created, and the batch name. The Create document option selects how pages are automatically distributed among documents when you add them to a batch.The automatic document creation algorithm applies to new batches created after the batch type settings are saved. It does not apply to batches that already exist.
- Never. Pages are not distributed among documents when added to the batch.
- One for all pages. All pages added during one scanning session or import from image files are placed in one document.
- In a certain number of pages. Use this method when scanned documents contain the same number of pages. When you select this value, a field appears where you specify the number of pages in each document.
- If pages with barcodes are found. Use this method when the first page of each document contains a barcode, or when each document is preceded by a page with a barcode. You can specify the type of barcode used (or have it detected automatically) and, if necessary, its value (when the same barcode is used for document separation). If barcode pages are not part of the document and are used only for separation, they can be deleted automatically (fill in the corresponding field).
- If blank pages are found. Use this method when documents in the batch are separated by blank pages. Blank separator pages can be deleted automatically, the same way as separator pages with barcodes. To configure the criteria for detecting blank pages, fill in the corresponding fields.
- For every image file. Use this method when all batch pages represent separate documents.
Registration parameters
The Parameters tab specifies registration parameters for batches of the created type and for documents in these batches. To add and modify registration parameters for batches or documents, use the separate Batch Reg Parameters and Documents Registration Parameters tables.Add a registration parameter
Add value.Set the name and type
Specify the parameter’s name and type. The type can be text or a value from a list.
Specify type-specific details
Depending on the selected type, specify additional information:
- Text: a default value, in which tags can be used. Tags are substituted with the account name of the Operator and/or station and the date and/or time the batch (or document) was created.
- Value from a list: a set of possible values and their order. When creating the list, you can use tags the same way as for the default value of a text parameter.
Registration parameter names and values can be used as a filter for the task queue on the Web Verification Station. For more information, see Task queues.
Batch sending and retries
The Sending tab controls how scanned batches are sent to the server. Scanned document images of a quality suitable for recognition take up a lot of space. During continuous operation, the number of sent documents can grow large enough to occupy significant disk space. To avoid this, you can automatically delete batches after they are sent to the server. To do this, fill in the corresponding field. By default, batches are sent as soon as you click the Send button. In some situations this is inconvenient — for example, when the channel is heavily loaded during the daytime. If necessary, you can specify the time interval during which batches are sent to the server. To do this, fill in the Sending time field and specify an interval in the from and till fields.Sending is performed only while you are logged on to the station. If sending runs at night, leave your computer on and do not end the working session with the Log out button.
