Kofax Capture Fields

If you select the Kofax Capture destination, the fields include the following:

Form Type

Select a form type. Form types are displayed in the following formats:

  • If the Kofax Capture form type exists in only one batch class, then the form type name is just the form type.

  • If the Kofax Capture form type exists in multiple batch classes, then the form type name is the form type name followed by the batch class name in parentheses: Form Type (Batch Class).

    Examples:

    401k (Human Resources)

    401k (Financial Services)

  • Each batch class has a hard-coded Form Type named [Loose Pages] which is used for submitting to a batch class directly, allowing Kofax Capture to perform document classification/recognition.

    Examples:

    [Loose Pages] (Human Resources)

    [Loose Pages] (Financial Services)

Batch index fields for the form type are listed first, followed by document class fields.

If you add or remove a validation script associated with the form type / batch class settings specified here, the change is not automatically inherited by the shortcut. Therefore, you must update and save the applicable Kofax Capture fields specified for this shortcut.

Batch Fields and Index Fields

Default values from Kofax Capture are displayed. Enter any default values for batch or index fields that you want to appear on the front panel of a device or in the Thin Client. Enter dates in the format indicated to the right of the field or click the calendar button to select a date. Users can change these values as needed.

Fields that are required fields in Kofax Capture have an asterisk (*) in front of the field name. Users at devices and in the Thin Client are required to enter information into all required fields. You can leave a required field blank if you need users to enter a value at the front panel.

Your entries at this tab are validated against the data type. For example, a message appears if you enter a decimal value into an integer field. Float and date are also validated, but not time.

Microsoft SharePoint Fields

If you select the Microsoft SharePoint destination, the fields include the following:

Destination Path

The path is filled in automatically after you enter the Site URL.

Site URL

Site or subsite URL for your SharePoint repository. Based on your selection, other related fields appear.

Library, Folder, Content Type, Name

Enter the details related to your SharePoint repository as required. Depending on the Content Type selection, the other SharePoint fields may vary. The entry for the Name field is required; it appears on the Active Jobs List.

CMIS Fields

If you select a CMIS destination, the fields include the following:

User ID

If you select an on-premise CMIS destination, enter the User ID for the account that has permissions to access the server.

Password

Enter the password associated with the User ID in the previous field.

Destination Path

The path is filled in automatically after you enter the Destination.

Repository

Select repository display preferences (see the display preferences specified under "Destination Path."

Folder

Enter folder name or create a new folder for the CMIS repository. Select the Document Content Type that the folder will accept. To create a new folder (which you can do during setup or while using the software):

  1. Browse to the parent folder and select Create New Folder.

  2. In the Folder Name field, enter a name for the folder.

    Folder names cannot contain invalid characters like the tilde (~), quotation marks, and so forth. Using an invalid character generates an error message.

    If a folder with the same name already exists, the system generates a message.

    Moving the cursor away from the field saves the information.

Select the Document Content Type that the folder will accept. On the Document Settings tab, select the check box next to the properties that the system can use as search fields.

Select folder display preferences (see the display preferences specified under "Destination Path."
