Batch and Collation Settings

Batch and Collation Settings are used to collate documents based on job separator values or a barcode value.

When to use Batch Settings and Collate

Batch Settings and Collate can be used to ensure scanned documents are not stored as a single scanned document.

Batch Settings

Use Batch Settings when you want:

  • to use a specific DataStore®DSX separator sheet to define document boundaries.
  • to search for a specific barcode value to define document boundaries.
  • the scanned documents to be assigned to a specific Data Definition.
  • the scanned images rotated.

Collate

Use Collate when you simply want each document to be a fixed number of pages long.

Select a Batch Setting

The name of the active batch setting is displayed in the text box. A different batch setting can be selected by clicking the batch setting name to display a drop-down list of configured batch settings. Select the batch setting you want to use from the drop-down list or None if you do not want to use batch settings.

Term

Meaning

Batch setting name

The batch setting is displayed.

  • Click the button with a + icon to create a new batch setting.
  • Click the button with a pencil icon to edit the name of the batch setting.
  • Click the button with a x icon to delete the batch setting.

Private or Public

Select whether the current batch setting will be Public or Private.

  • [Private] Stored on Client – the batch setting can be used on the current client machine only.
  • [Public] Stored on Server – all Indexing Studio users can use the batch setting, regardless of the client machine they use to run Indexing Studio (as long as they are accessing the same DataStoreDSX Server).

Use barcode separation even if no matching criteria is found

When selected, the Behaviour settings (see Table 177 on page 723) are applied, even when no matching barcode or Job Separator is found.

Default Behaviour

Collate Every

When no criteria are matched, sets the number of pages which are grouped together as a single document.

Rotate

When no criteria are matched,

  • 90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° clockwise
  • 180 – Rotate the next scanned page 180° clockwise
  • -90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° anticlockwise

Destination Data Definition

When no criteria are matched, [ Unassigned ] – No Data Definition is assigned to the Criteria.
OR

Select a Data Definition from the drop-down list. This Data Definition is then assigned to the Criteria.

Click the Add Criteria button to define the Criteria for the Batch Setting.

The Batch Criteria window is displayed.

image

The Batch Criteria settings are described in Table 177.
Table 177. Terminology: Batch Criteria

Term

Meaning

Separation

Job Separator Number

When a document you are going to import contains DataStore®DSX job separator sheets, you can use these sheets for this Criteria. When the importer finds the specified job separator sheet in the file, the next page in the file is put in a new document.

Range 1–10. See example below.

Barcode Setting

Select Barcode Settings and either select a named barcode setting from the drop-down list, or click the (ellipsis) button to open the Barcode Manager window. See “Barcode Manager”.

The Barcode Settings are used to define the Separators for the scanned pages. When the defined Barcode Settings are found, the next sheet is the first page of a new document.

Barcode Value

Enter the Barcode Value for which you want the scanner to search. When the defined Barcode Value is found, the next sheet is the first sheet of a new document.

Behaviour

Collate Every

Sets the number of pages which are grouped together as a single document.

Note: When both Job Separator (Job Separator Number, Barcode Setting or Barcode Value) and Collate Every are set, the first condition to be met is used. Therefore, if a Job Separator is imported before the number of pages defined by Collate Every are imported, a new document is started.
Alternatively, if the number of pages defined by Collate Every is imported without encountering a Job Separator, a new document is started

Rotate

  • 90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° clockwise
  • 180 – Rotate the next scanned page 180° clockwise
  • -90 – Rotate the next scanned page 90° anticlockwise

Destination Data Definition

[ Unassigned ] – No Data Definition is assigned to the Criteria.
OR

Select a Data Definition from the drop-down list. This Data Definition is then assigned to the Criteria.

Ten DataStore®DSX Job Separator pages are provided. For example, Sheet 1 is shown below.
