Batches are created during scanning. When you scan a batch, each form or set has certain identifying batch data associated with it. In addition, the Scan operator can type values for the batch data to provide additional information.
After you scan each batch, you archive the paper forms together with a batch report, which is a printout of the batch data. You can easily find an original form or set later on if you want to examine it for any reason.
Each batch is kept together throughout the rest of processing. For example, when a Verify operator verifies the first form in a batch, the batch is locked so that other Verify operators cannot select that batch.
Operators can select which batches to process, or operators can work on batches that are routed to them, depending on how you set up the batches.
When batches are processed in Verify, the current batch number is displayed on the status bar along with the total number of forms in the batch and the current form number.
