Document setup The Index - Document tab allows you to define the index information you want
to collect at the document level.
The document index is stored in one file per document and is located in the
same directory as the document images. The name of the file depends upon
the selected Native Scan structure (xxxxxIDX.DAT for the IBS/Document CD
structure and IDX.DAT for the App\Batch\Document\Image structure). A
Batch Output format, such as single-page TIFF, can convert the separate .DAT
files into one single index file.
Index file format
The Document index has the following format (that can be converted with a
Batch Output format):
[Record Format Type];[Format Version];[Document Number];
[Page Count];[Image Count];[Field 1];[Field 2];[Field 3];...
The following is a sample document index file:
“I01q”;”01”;”0000000001”;”0000000058”;”0000000087”;”37865”;”C0009341”
All values are double-quoted and are separated by a semicolon. A double-
quote contained within an index field is doubled.
Example: ...;“378”“65”;... represents the value 378”65.
The following is a description of each field in the sample IDX.DAT file:
Record Format Type I01q Fixed length of 4 characters.
A value of “I01q” indicates an
IDX.DAT record.
Format Version 01 Fixed length of 2 characters.
Initially, will always be “01”.
Document Number 0000000001 Fixed length of 10 characters,
zero-filled.
Page Count 0000000058 Fixed length of 10 characters,
zero-filled. Number of pages
in the document.
Image Count 0000000087 Fixed length of 10 characters,
zero-filled. Number of images
in the document.
Index Fields The next fields (37865 and
C0009341) are the index values.
