A barcodes can be either a recognizable field or a static element. Care must be taken when selecting the
mode that depends on the barcode purpose – if information is to be captured from the barcode, mark its
region in Field Regions Mode, and if it is used for definition identification and matching, mark it in Static
Element Mode.
Created fields appear in the list on the Fields tab of the Document Structure window. Names matching
the comments or the field names will be used by default. You can change the field name by selecting it in
the document structure and pressing F2. If you want the field to have the name matching the comments,
select the field, right-click it and, in the shortcut menu, click Get Name from Image…. Then, draw a
rectangle around the necessary text.
Field type can be identified by the icon in the list of fields and the frame color. Static elements are not
displayed in the list.
Objects can be copied (including to other document sections), deleted, and moved, and their size can be
changed. Names of field copies are numbered.
You can also select several objects at a time. To do it, hold Ctrl while selecting. The
tool can also be
used.
3.1.1.1. Field groups
Fields can be combined into groups to make document structure more illustrative or to created repeated
field groups. For example, the city, street and house number fields can be combined into the “Residence
Address”. Then, you can copy the “Residence Address” field group to create the “Work Address” fields.
To combine documents, use the
tool.
If there are repeated field groups in the documents, you can create several instances of the group you have
created. All field properties as well as rules set within the group will work for each instance of the group.
See 3.1.1.5 “Fields with multiple instances”.
You can also copy a field group, but, in this case, copying will result in creating a new independent group.
