3.1.1.2. Fields with no marking
There can be fields having no corresponding region on the image. Fields with no marking are marked with
a red asterisk in the list. Such fields can be used to store calculation results for values in recognized fields.
Fields with no marking have all the properties characteristic of their type: they can be sent to the Operator
for Verification, the format check can be executed, and the field values can be exported.
To create a field with no marking, do one of the following:
1. In the Document Definition Editor, click Edit > Create Field and create a field of the required
type. The field will appear in the list and will be marked with an asterisk. In this case, a
document structure field will be created, but not its region on the image.
2. Delete marking of a regular field. Select a field on the image or list and, on the shortcut menu,
click Delete Region. The marking will be deleted, and the field will be marked with a red
asterisk.
To create a region for fields with no marking, click
on the toolbar. If there are fields marked with an
asterisk in the list, the program will prompt you to select a name for one of such fields. This may happen
when you set the list of fields first and define their locations later.
3.1.1.3. Table marking
ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 gives you the possibility of working with tables. The Table fields are used for
it.
A range of tools is available for table marking in regular Document Definitions. These tools are used to
draw tables, position lines and columns.
Draw a table region using the
tool. The table header must not be included in this region. Next, marj
the table cells using the tool to add separators. To create vertical separators, point the cursor to the
table region, then drag the dotted separator to the desired place and left-click to fix it in its place.
Horizontal separators are created using the same method, only holding Alt. You can also initiate an
automatic separator search. To do it, select the table you have just created and use the following commands
of the shortcut menu: Autodetect Vertical Separators and Autodetect Horizontal Separators. To delete
a separator, click
. When you have added the required number of separators, set the columns by
clicking
and clicking in the column region. Each column contains cells of one type: text, checkmarks,
graphic elements or barcodes. The program will prompt you to select the column type when you set it.
When the geometric marking is finished, you will need to set the recognition and verification properties as
well as the data type for each column. Column properties are set exactly like the properties of regular
document fields.
3.1.1.4. Fields with multiple regions
If there are fields with regions consisting of several parts on your form, for example, tables stretching
across multiple pages, you can create fields with multiple regions for processing of such data.
Values from all regions of a field are merged and exported as one field. The line break serves as a
separator here.
