Form Definition

The first action to process forms or documents is to define a particular form to the system. Forms Pro is unique because of its integrated structure in that all of the parameters, settings, and configurations required to process a form can be defined by a user without requiring assistance from programming personnel. A form is scanned into the system and then graphically and logically defined for all subsequent operations of the system. Libraries of previously defined forms and standard edit rules can be utilized to make the process more efficient. A test system is included to allow fine tuning of the form definition to improve system performance.

The Form Definition Process (Click on an Image below to get a closer look) The process involves a series of drag and click steps to add the capture attributes to a image creating a unique form definition for each document (1 or more pages). As the user draws a feature it's properties dialog automatically pops up with default values, the user can then change these values.

Step1 Specify basic form attributes. In this step we specify the page size, scanning attributes, keying worktype, QC sampling frequency, etc.	Step2 Add a new WorkType for this form or select from existing ones.	Step3 Import an image. Select a pre-scanned image from disk for setup.
Step 4a Draw Landmarks - Text edges, logos, fixed marks, etc. can be used to define landmarks on a image.
