The Script Locator uses a custom script event to locate data and raises a script event that enables users to define their own extraction results. The locator field in the XDoc is prepared based on the Script Locator settings, and can be a simple field or a group field. The locator field can be filled with alternatives in the event handler. How this is done is up to you. You can take results from other locators that are defined to precede this Script Locator or initialize the alternative with custom data. All alternatives are sorted by confidence after the script event.

On the Field Definition tab, you define the output format of your Script Locator using the following settings:

Select one of the following field types for this script locator:

• Simple field. (Default: Selected)

  Choose this value if your Script Locator returns one or more single-result alternatives, similar to a Format Locator.

• Group field.

  Choose this value if your Script Locator returns one or more alternatives containing subfields, similar to an Advanced Zone Locator.

If the Group field setting is selected, you can add, rename, or delete subfields.
