Advanced Designer supports importing labeled documents from a folder that contains document images and labeling in XML format compatible with Advanced Designer. You can prepare such a folder by exporting labeled documents from FlexiCapture. Imported labeling is merged with existing labeling. Imported fields are mapped to existing fields with the same type and name. If no equivalent for an imported field is found, it is added to the skill as a new field.

Table Block Conversion

In Vantage, the table field can only contain text fields and doesn’t support nesting. Hence, the table block from FlexiCapture will be converted as follows:
Has Nested TablesHas Non-Text FieldsResulting Field in Advanced Designer
NoNoTable
NoYesGroup with multiple items
YesNoGroup with multiple items which has nested groups with multiple items and a table on the deepest nesting level
YesYesGroup with multiple items which has nested groups

Preparing an Import Folder

To prepare an import folder, you should export labeled documents from FlexiCapture by running FCAdminTools.exe with the following options:
FCAdminTools.exe ExportLabeling [/LabelingSource=<LayoutTraining/ClassifierTraining/WorkBatches>] [/BatchName=<name of a batch in the specified group of batches>] [/DocumentDefinition=<name of the document definition>] [/Project=<path to the project>] [/TargetFolder=<path to the target folder>]
OptionDescription
/LabelingSource=<LayoutTraining/ClassifierTraining/WorkBatches>Group of batches selected for export. Default value: LayoutTraining. Note: Advanced Designer doesn’t currently support import of ClassifierTraining batches.
/BatchName=<name of a batch in the specified group of batches>Name of a batch selected for export. This batch should belong to the group specified by the LabelingSource option. If empty, the export folder will contain all batches in the group that refer to the specified document definition. If LabelingSource = ClassifierTraining, this option may be empty.
/DocumentDefinition=<name of the document definition>Name of the document definition for which the batches will be exported. You should specify a document definition if the project contains several document definitions. If LabelingSource = ClassifierTraining, this option may be empty. Note: You can only export a document definition that has a single section. Exporting multisection document definitions is not supported.
/Project=<path to the project>Path to the FCPROJ file.
/TargetFolder=<path to the target folder>Path to the folder in which the export results will be stored. The folder is created automatically during export.
The export folder contains the following files:
  • DocumentDefinition.json
  • SkillSettings.json (when exporting LayoutTraining and WorkBatches groups of batches)
  • Folder <Document name> which contains document information in TIFF format and Labeling.json (labeling in the extracted data format)
Note: The ExportLabeling command is supported by FCAdminTools from Patch 3 for FlexiCapture 12 Release 4 Update 2 onwards. If your project was created in an older version, you should first upgrade your FlexiCapture version and then export any labeling.
