Paths

The Process paths view shows the invoice processing workflow in Kofax Capture and MarkView, which is presented as a swim lane flowchart.

Horizontal lines divide the chart into Kofax Capture and MarkView workflow processing stages. See a more detailed description for processing stages in Diagram.

Each vertical line displays a unique path of an invoice. The numeric value for a vertical line displays the number of invoices that are processed through the corresponding path. Click a vertical line of the swim lane flowchart to view invoices detailed information. Use the invoice action to take action on the invoice.

The color of an arrow defines if a work item moves through the workflow correctly.

  • Gray: Correct transition from a work item to the next queue in the workflow.

  • Orange: Partially correct transition from a work item to the next queue in the workflow. The process corresponds to the scheme but some steps are missing.

  • Red: Incorrect transition.

Additionally, the Process paths view displays multiple and consecutive transitions through the same queue. Parenthesis and numeric characters show the minimum and the maximum values of the transitions through the queue. Click the workflow to open the Invoice details table to check the number of transitions for the selected invoice in the Invoice History table.
