Setting Up Batch Classes, Document Classes, and Form Types
Note the following when setting up batch classes, document classes, and form types in Kofax
Capture to use as Kofax Front-Office Server destinations:
 When configuring a batch class, select “Allow import of eDocument files” on the
Advanced tab if you are using documents in formats other than TIFF.
 The “Treat imported PDF files as TIFF images” option should not be used for PDF files
with text. This may cause Kofax Capture to generate an error when it processes a PDF file
that contains text.
 Do not use “DataStore” and “Formtype” as index field names.
 If you have defined fields for a batch or document class, they are retrieved by Kofax Front-
Office Server. Users can enter values for them at the MFP or in the Web Client. If you have
defined values for these fields, users can select them from a drop-down field in the Web
Client.
 Both batch class and form type names appear in the Destination panel in the Web Client.
The batch class and form type names are separated by two pipe characters (||), which
serve as a separator string (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Batch Classes and Form Types in the Web Client
Do not include the separator string (||) in the name of a batch class and form type.
Setting Up Index Fields
If you define fields for a document class, they are retrieved by Kofax Front-Office Server. Users
can enter values for them at the MFP or in the Web Client. If you have defined values for these
fields, users can select them from a drop-down field in the Web Client.
If you define batch fields, you can configure them to appear in document classes and Loose Pages
destinations for that batch class by setting the formtype.batch.fields.display property in the
rs.connector.kofaxcapture.properties file. If you leave this property blank, batch fields do not
appear in both document classes and Loose Pages destinations. This setting applies to the
Administration Console and the Web Client and for shortcuts and profiles you deploy to MFPs.
Refer to the next section, Configuring Kofax Capture Destination Files, for information about this
properties file.
