Document Boundaries – General Details
When Document Boundaries is selected in the General Options pane, the Properties for the Data Definition’s Document Boundaries are displayed and can be edited.
Note: Indexing Studio cannot be used with documents with boundaries or with the Hide header option selected. Therefore, Data Definitions with document boundary conditions defined or with the Hide header option selected are not available from within Indexing Studio.
A Document Boundary cannot be created if there are no Document level fields.
Warning. The current Data Definition does not contain any document level fields.
When the above warning is displayed, you must create a Document level field before you can create a Document Boundary and save the Data Definition.
The items shown in the Document Boundaries General Properties pane are described in Table 72.

Document Boundary options |
|||
Hide header (do not show the first page of a document) |
Use this option to hide all values on the first page of the document. This is used to index documents which have a header page which you do not want to be stored. When this option is used with the Boundary Identification Criteria, the first page of each document in a file is hidden.
|
||
Boundary Identification Criteria |
|||
None specified (each file will be a separate document) |
The Data Definition treats the file as though it were a single document. |
||
Specified criteria will identify the first page of document |
The Data Definition treats the file as multiple documents. Each document starts when the defined criteria are met. |
||
Specified criteria will identify the last page of document |
The Data Definition will treat the file as multiple documents. Each document ends when the defined criteria are met. |
||
Store each document in a separate file |
When cleared and Boundary Identification Criteria are specified, the document is stored as a single document, but is split in to separate logical documents, according to the Boundary Identification Criteria. When selected and Boundary Identification Criteria are specified, the document is split and stored as separate documents, according to the Boundary Identification Criteria. |
||
Minimum Criteria Requirement |
|||
All criteria must be met |
All the specified criteria must be met for the Document Boundary to be valid.
|
||
At least one criterion must be met |
One or more of the specified criteria must be met for the Document Boundary to be valid.

|
||
Please select a field to be used |
Select the Data Definition’s Index field to be used to define the Document Boundaries.
|
||
Has the value |
Defines the criterion as the selected field with a specific value. For example, if there were an Index field named Page, the criterion could be defined as Index field Page Has the value 1.
|
||
Does not have the value |
Defines the criterion as the selected field does not have the specified value.
|
||
Has a different value to the previous page |
Defines the criterion as the selected field has a value which has changed since the previous page. For example, if there were an Index field named Company name, the criterion could be defined as Index field Company name Has a different value to the previous page.
|
||
Has a different value, excluding values that are missing |
Defines the criterion as the selected field has a value which has changed since the previous page but ignores a missing field. For example, if there were an Index field named Company name which was displayed on the first page of a statement only, the criterion could be defined as Index field Company name Has a different value, excluding values that are missing.
