Validation form database lookups
You can define a database lookup button that enables Validation users to populate validation fields with search results. These lookups can be used to populate only text, check box, and combo-box fields.
There are four types of database lookup button:
-
Uses either a Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Server, or an ODBC DSN connection so that Validation users can search for information.
-
Enables you to use a fuzzy database so users can search for information.
-
Enables you to select a result rejected by any locator as long as it has configured subfields.
-
Enables you to use an Associative Search Lookup so users can search for information.
Associative Search Databases will be deprecated in a future release of Kofax Transformation Modules. As a result, Kofax recommends that you switch to a local fuzzy database or a remote fuzzy database via Kofax Search and Matching Server.
Validation users use the results returned by the lookup to help validate a document.
The key properties for the database lookup button differ for each data source type so that you can customize the buttons.
Search result values overwrite recognition values on the validation form.
If a field is populated from a database, image coordinates are unavailable and no image snippet is displayed beside the field value. This behavior does not occur if a field is populated from a locator alternative lookup.
