4.3.3. Static elements

Static elements mark objects from which data are not extracted. Such elements are used for template

matching and document identification only.

To work with static elements, you must switch to Static elements mode by clicking the

button. The

marking of static elements is displayed only in this mode.

All types of static element can be used for template matching. However the best results are obtained

when a document has special elements – standard anchors: click squares, crosses, or corners. These must

be marked automatically or manually as static elements of the Anchor type. The shape of anchors can be

selected on the General tab of the element properties.

You can use static elements of any type as identifiers. The program uses the location of identifiers or

their values to determine to what document the current page belongs. If a barcode is used as an

identifier, you can specify the values for the barcode. This will help you identify the page quickly and

accurately.

To use a static element for template matching and/or identification, you must select the corresponding

option on the General tab of the Properties dialog box. To open the Properties dialog box of any

element, select Properties… from the context menu of the element.

Anchor: To use the anchor for template matching (recommended), select the Use for template

matching option. To use the anchor for identification, select the Use for template identification option.

Select the type of anchor (a black square, cross, or corner).

Static text: To use the text for template matching, select the Use for template matching option. To use

the text for identification, select the Use for template identification option. If a static text is used for

identification, you may specify the value of the text. Please note that you must specify the value of the

static text only if it is impossible to identify the page by the location of the text and thus the value of the

static text is required (for example, pages differ only in their titles while the location and size of the titles

are identical).

Separator: To use the separator for template matching, select the Use for template matching option. To

use the separator for identification, select the Use for template identification option.

Barcode: To use the barcode for template matching, select the Use for template matching option. To

use the barcode for identification, select the Use for template identification option. If a barcode is used

for identification, you may specify the value of the barcode. To do so, on the Recognition tab specify

the barcode type, orientation, and image processing options.

Five anchors have been marked on your form. Please ensure that you have selected the Black square type for

all the anchors and that the Use for template matching and Use for template identification options are selected.

For the barcode, select the Use for template matching and Use for template identification options. If the value

of the barcode does not automatically appear in the Field Value fields, click Hint. The value of the barcode will

be inserted.

The barcode on this page corresponds to the EAN 13 type, which must be specified in the Code type field on the

Recognition tab. The orientation is Left to Right.
