Security setting

Note that this information applies to the fields used with invoice profiles (more information). Fields are also used when preparing document specifications (more information).

You can specify the Security setting for all fields on invoices (excluding logo identifiers). This can be done on the field profile level and the field definition level:

For field profiles (single item and line item fields), these settings are found in the Interpretation settings of the Field profile dialog.
For single item field definitions, these settings can be found in the Advanced dialog.
For line item field definitions, these settings are found in the Interpretationsettings of the Line item field definition dialog.

Use the Security slider to adjust how sure the system must be about each character.

Maximum security means that the system must be absolutely sure about every character.
Maximum interpretation means that the system guesses when it is not sure of a character. The higher the security, the less the system guesses and the more sure the result is.

When to use this setting

Warning
This setting can have unexpected results. The effect can be very different for different fields. Results can vary greatly depending on the quality of the invoice and the invoice image. Test the effect of your changes on a large number of invoices. High or maximum interpretation can result in undetected errors. Wrong characters can be shown for a field with Complete status. Use only for fields that are validated against valid values, or fields whose values do not have to be correct.

Tips

Do not use this setting to correct poor extraction that is due to poor invoice images or incorrect use of Invoice Optimize. Fix those problems at their source instead.
The normal setting is 5 (the fifth dot from the left).
Changes to this setting do not affect existing invoice definitions.
