OmniForm Features
Introduction - 4
OmniForm Features
OmniForm, an easy-to-use environment for working with forms, is
more than just form-recognition software. OmniForm includes the
following features:
Form Input
OmniForm uses Logical Form Recognition™ to convert your scanned
paper forms or imported image files into electronic, editable forms.
Fill View
Use OmniForm’s
fill view
to fill a form with the information you need.
Information entered can easily be searched and sorted.
Design View
Use OmniForm’s
design view
to design your own forms or edit existing
forms. A variety of toolbars make formatting easy and convenient. Use
the scrapbook to store or copy form objects.
OmniForm Database
All information you enter into a form is stored as a part of an OmniForm
database. You can create, duplicate, sort, and search records, and import
and export database information.
Field Validation
You can set up OmniForm to
validate
a fillable field automatically.
OmniForm displays a prompt if you enter incorrect information.
Field Calculations
OmniForm’s built-in operators and functions let you define calculations
that display the correct value as you fill the appropriate field(s) in a
form. This automates data entry and reduces the possibility of errors.
Form Printing, Faxing, and Mailing
You can print or fax forms from OmniForm. You have a choice of
printing or faxing just the form, or just the data entered in a form, or both
the form and its information.
Use electronic mail to send forms to other users if you have Microsoft
Exchange/Mail or Lotus cc:Mail/Notes installed. Microsoft Exchange/
Mail users can also add routing slips to mailed forms.
