Bar codes or OCR text and Last Value
In file folder applications it is often customary to use bar code/OCR text zone
header sheets to index all of the documents in the folder. The lead document
contains all bar codes/OCR text zones and subsequent documents may
contain no bar codes/OCR text zones or a subset of the bar codes/OCR text
zones. To index documents in these applications, an index field is either
assigned the bar code/OCR text zone (when it exists) or the value from the
previous document. The previous or last value keeps getting assigned until the
next bar code/OCR header sheet is scanned.
To accomplish this indexing scheme in Capture Software, the default value
must either be the bar code or Last Value. This is specified by using the “or”
symbol as in the following example:
<BC_NAME><OR><LAST_VALUE>
or
<OCR_NAME><OR><LAST_VALUE
Default value formula
A default value for a field can consist of one or more default values as
specified in the Default value formula. To set up your Default value formula:
1. Select a pre-defined value from the list box.
2. Click Add Item after you select an item.
3. Continue to add all pre-defined values until your default value formula
is complete.
4. Click OK when the default value formula is complete.
NOTES: Selecting Delete Item deletes the last pre-defined value added.
Delete Formula deletes the entire Default value formula.
You can also use a special substring syntax, enclosed within square
brackets, to retain a certain portion of a default value (e.g., [1,4]).
See the next section, “Substring syntax,” for formats and examples.
