The Batch definition dialog

Select form def

Click to select form definitions that you want to process in batches.

Select set def

Click to choose a set to be processed in batches.

Batch prefix

Specifies a Batch prefix. This setting is optional.

Batch size

The size of the batch. (See examples.) This setting is required. If you do not specify the batch size, the dialog cannot be closed by clicking OK.

Batch start no.

If you do not want the first batch to be number 1, change this value.

Print batch report

Prints batch reports when you scan batches. (More info.)

Form definitions

Displays the names of the form definitions that you selected for the batch definition. If you selected a set definition, the form definitions it contains are listed in the Form definitions box.

Set definition

If you selected a set definition for the batch, the set definition name is displayed in the Set definition box.

Release forms from batches after interpretation

When you select this option, Verify and Transfer handle the forms as if they had not been included in batches. Forms are saved by themselves after interpretation. There is no way to get the forms back into batches again, although batch data can be included in the transaction.

The advantage is that Verify operators work with individual forms rather than entire batches.

This option simulates scan-only batching, except that:

• In the Scan and Interpret job descriptions, you select batches rather than form definitions.

• If necessary, you can delete a batch immediately after scanning it.

Note: This option applies to batching with forms, not sets.

Release sets from batches after interpretation

When you select this option, Verify and Transfer handle the sets as if they had not been included in batches. Sets are saved by themselves after interpretation. There is no way to get the sets back into batches again, although batch data can be included in the transaction.
