You can copy elements (even to other document sections), delete, move elements, or change their sizes.
If you copy fields, numbers are automatically added to the names of the fields.
To select several elements simultaneously, use Ctrl-Click. The action performed will then be applied to
all selected elements. To select elements, use the
tool.
1. Text entry fields are already automatically marked on the form. If you did not select the Text option
during the final stage of template creation, or if you wish to mark text fields manually, select the
tool followed by the fields in which you want to enter text. A field must include all character cells and
some additional space on all sides. Include fields for the fill-in date, name, occupation, country, e-mail
address, company name, number of pages processed daily, and the 4 fields for additional information.
2. Please mark the “Your comments and wishes” field. This field has not been detected automatically
because it is not marked.
3. If the checkmarks have not been marked automatically, select the tool and mark all those
checkmark boxes that do not belong to any groups. Do not forget to include a little extra space on all
sides of the checkboxes. The checkmarks that belong to a group need not be marked individually.
Select the tool to draw a rectangle around all checkmarks that must belong to the group. Each
individual checkmark will be automatically marked and assigned a name, following which all these
checkmarks will be united in the group.
4. Switch to Static elements mode. Anchors are already marked on the form. Select the tool and
mark the barcode on the image.
4.3.2.1. Field groups
Fields can be grouped to optimize the document structure and to create repetitive field groups. For
example, the city, street, and building number can be combined to form the “Home Address”. If you
wish to create fields for the work address, you can simply copy the “Home Address” field group.
To combine fields to form a group, use the
tool.
If a document has repetitive field groups, you can create only one group and then create several
instances of this group. All field properties and all rules specified within the original group will be
inherited by all instances of the group. For more information, please see the Fields with multiple
instances
section.
You can also copy a field group. In this case, however, the new group will be independent.
4.3.2.2. Fields without marking
Some fields can have no corresponding regions on the image. The names of unmarked fields are marked
with a red asterisk. Such fields can be used to store interim results of calculations, which use values
from recognition fields.
Unmarked fields possess all the properties typical of their type: they can be sent to the operator for
verification, their format can be checked, and the values of such fields can be exported.
There are two methods of creating a field without marking:
1. In the Template Editor window, select Template > Create Field from the menu and create a
field of the necessary type. The name of the field will appear in the list and will be marked
with an asterisk. A document structure field is created, but not its region on the image.
