Prepare the export folder
Export labeled documents from FlexiCapture by runningFCAdminTools.exe:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
/LabelingSource=<LayoutTraining | ClassifierTraining | WorkBatches> | Group of batches to export. Default: LayoutTraining. Note: Advanced Designer doesn’t currently support importing ClassifierTraining batches. |
/BatchName=<batch name> | Name of the batch to export. Must belong to the group given by LabelingSource. If empty, all batches in the group that reference the specified document definition are exported. May be empty if LabelingSource = ClassifierTraining. |
/DocumentDefinition=<name> | Document definition to export. Required when the project contains multiple document definitions. May be empty if LabelingSource = ClassifierTraining. Note: Only single-section document definitions can be exported — multisection definitions are not supported. |
/Project=<path> | Path to the project’s .fcproj file. |
/TargetFolder=<path> | Destination folder for the export. Created automatically. |
DocumentDefinition.jsonSkillSettings.json(only forLayoutTrainingandWorkBatchesgroups)- A
<Document name>subfolder for each document, containing the TIFF image andLabeling.json(labeling in the extracted-data format)
The
ExportLabeling command requires FCAdminTools from FlexiCapture 12 Release 4 Update 2 Patch 3 or later. Upgrade FlexiCapture before exporting if your project was created in an older version.Import the folder into Advanced Designer
Once the export folder is ready, follow the standard Import labeled documents procedure on your Advanced Designer skill.Field merge behavior
Imported labeling is merged with the existing labeling. Fields are matched by name and type, and any unmatched imported field is added to the skill as a new field.Table-block conversion
Vantage tables can only contain text fields and don’t support nesting. FlexiCapture table blocks are converted on import:| Has nested tables | Has non-text fields | Resulting field in Advanced Designer |
|---|---|---|
| No | No | Table |
| No | Yes | Group with multiple items |
| Yes | No | Group with multiple items, with nested groups with multiple items and a table at the deepest nesting level |
| Yes | Yes | Group with multiple items with nested groups |
