Export and Monitoring Station
Introducing the Export and Monitoring Station
The Export and Monitoring Station is the last station used to process forms. This station is used to export completely processed
batches. Additionally, the station is used to monitor and control the operation of ABBYY FormReader Enterprise Edition.
The station is controlled by an export and monitoring operator.
Batches can be exported in automated or manual mode.
When exporting batches automatically, the export and monitoring operator only has to start the export process: the batches coming
to the Export queue will be exported automatically. If the manual export mode has been selected, only the selected batches will be
exported.
When export is started, the Batch Export dialog box will be displayed. Use this dialog to view batch export statistics. If you close the
Batch Export dialog box, you can re–open it by double–clicking on the status bar.
Data are exported to text files in CSV and XML formats. Image export is also available.
The user can create custom export procedures and connect them via the API.
The export and monitoring operator can also do the following:
• Send batches from one processing queue to another,
• Assign a batch to a given operator,
• Delete batches,
• Lock and unlock batches,
• Terminate the sessions on other stations,
• Track the batch processing statistics and the work of other operators,
• Create reports on the operation of the entire form capture system, stations, operators, etc.,
• Control the database contents,
• View batches.
