2. The second method is by removing the marking of a standard field. Select the necessary fields
on the image or in the list and from the context menu select Delete Region. The marking will
be removed and the name of the field will be marked with a red asterisk.
To create a region on the image for a field without marking, select the
tool from the toolbar and
frame the necessary region. If there are any fields marked with an asterisk in the list, the program will
prompt you to select a name for one of these fields (for example, if you create the list of document fields
first and only subsequently specify their location).
4.3.2.3. Marking of Tables
ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 Professional allows you to work with tables. Creating fields of the type
“Table” makes it much easier to set up, extract, and export data from tables. A Table field is a set of
columns of a single type which contains repetitive rows.
The program has special tools for marking tables in a fixed template. These tools will help you draw a
table and mark its columns and rows.
Select the
tool to draw the region of the table. Please note that this region must not include the
header of the table. Once the table has been created on the image, table-marking tools will appear in the
toolbar. To add separators, mark the table cells using the
tool. To create vertical separators, place
the pointer inside the table region, drag the dotted separator to the desired location, and click once.
Horizontal separators are created in the same manner while holding down the ALT key. You can also
detect separators automatically. To detect separators, select the table you have created and then select
either Autodetect Vertical Separators or Autodetect Horizontal Separators from the context menu.
You can delete any separator using the
tool. Once you have added the number of separators
required, mark the columns of the table. To do so, select the
tool and use your cursor to specify the
region of a column. Each column contains cells of a single type: text, checkmarks, graphical elements or
barcodes. The program will prompt you to select the type of column during marking.
Once the table has been marked, you must specify the recognition properties, verification properties, and
data type for each column. Column properties are specified just like the properties of standard document
fields.
4.3.2.4. Fields with multiple regions
If your form has data fields whose region consists of multiple parts (for example, tables which start on
one page and end on the next page), you can create fields with multiple regions to process such objects
on the form.
Values from all regions of a field are joined and exported together as one field. Line folding is used as a
separator.
To create a field with multiple regions, create the region of one of the fields, select this region and then
select Continue Region… from the context menu. Move the created region to the desired location on
the page. Select the area on the page where the created region should continue and repeat the procedure
as many times as may be necessary.
