This window is broken down into two areas. The top row is a group of icons that enable you to filter or collapse the
hierarchy.
The rest of the window has an interactive project hierarchy that contains all classes and other related
items used to configure your project.
You can add, delete, modify, and reorder these items as required.
The options at the top of the
Project Tree are as follows:
| Option
|
Name and Description
|
|
Type to search
|
- Search
-
All
Project Tree items that match the entered search term are displayed, even those
items are hidden inside a class.
|
|
|
- Show Inherited Items or
Hide Inherited Items
-
Click this button to exclude inherited items in the search. Click again to include inherited items.
|
|
|
- Hide All Details
-
This option hides any displayed class details, but leaves the expanded or collapsed state of the
Project Tree unaffected.
|
|
|
- Default Layout
-
This option hides any class details and collapses the
Project Tree so that only the classes are displayed.
|
Note The
Project
Tree does not always display the contents of a class. If the
Show Class Details
icon is displayed, the class contents are hidden. You can click this icon to make the class contents
visible. Similarly, you can hide the class contents by clicking
Hide Class Details
.
Each item in the
Project Tree has an icon to indicate its type. When an item is selected, its properties are
displayed in the
Details window. These properties can be modified to update the project. You can
also select multiple items. Any common properties between the selected items can be modified as needed. The following items may be
shown in the class hierarchy, depending on project configuration:
| Option
|
Name and Description
|
|
|
- Project
-
This is the root item for the entire project. Some read-only information about the project and a limited
number of options are available at this level in the project.
|
|
|
- Project Class
-
This is the parent class of the project. Any items added to this class are inherited by all other classes
in the project.
|
|
|
- Default Class
-
This is the default class in the project. Depending on how your project is
configured, any unknown documents are automatically classified as this class.
Important As long as a child item within a class is selected, the class
selection is implied. If you select a locator for a class and then open your
Classification Training document set, any classification training documents for
the class of the locator are displayed.
|
|
|
- A collection of Classes
-
If at least one class is present, this collection can be expanded.
This
grouping enables you to collapse the collection when focusing on other areas of
your project.
|
|
|
- Class
-
A class represents how a specific type of document is processed. As a result, each class tends to have one
or more fields and locators. You can expand a class to see its child classes or
view its contents.
Note Class contents such as locators, fields, classification instructions, structure rules, and child classes
are hidden by default.
Important As long as a child item within a class is selected, the class
selection is implied. If you select a locator for a class and then open your
Classification Training document set, any classification training documents for
the class of the locator are displayed.
|
|
|
- A collection of Fields
-
If there is at least one field group, this collection can be expanded.
This
grouping enables you to collapse the collection when focusing on other areas of
your project.
|
|
|
- Field Group
-
Field groups are a useful way of organizing fields into smaller groups based on function or data
type. These groups can contain both simple fields and table fields.
Field groups created in
Transformation Designer
are automatically created in
Kofax TotalAgility
TotalAgility Designer
when the project is saved. This eliminates the need to create field groups and fields in
TotalAgility Designer
if you want a specific structure.
|
|
|
- Simple Field
-
Simple
fields are the most common type of field. These fields typically contain a
single piece of information extracted from a document during processing.
|
|
|
- Table Field
-
Table
fields contain many pieces of extracted data from a document. Each cell in the
table contains extracted data, but instead of configuring each cell separately
using
simple fields, a table field in partnership
with a
table model and a locator, does this
automatically.
|
|
|
- A collection of Locators
-
If at least one locator is present in a class, this collection can be expanded.
This
grouping enables you to collapse the collection when focusing on other areas of
your project.

|
- Locator
-
When a locator is first added to the Project Tree, it is identified using the general
Locator icon
. Once a locator is assigned a
locator method, an
evaluator method, or a
trainable locator method, the icon is updated to show the icon for the specific locator type.
Inherited locators do not show their specific locator icon. Instead, they show the Inherited Locator icon
. By selecting any locator in the
Project Tree, you can view its properties and configure your extraction settings.
|
|
|
- Instructions
-
Any
Instructions added to your project are visible in the
Details window when this item is selected.
|
You can use drag-and-drop to move a class in the
Project Tree. You can also select multiple classes on the same level and drag them to a new position
in the
Project Tree. For example, if you want to remove a class level you can move all child classes of a
parent class to an upper level.
You cannot use drag-and-drop for other items in the
Project Tree.
Instead to change the order of items such as locators, you can use the
Move Up and
Move Down buttons.
