Choosing which statuses to verify

In the two group boxes on the Verify tab, you select which form statuses, field statuses and/or field categories you want to verify in a job. In most cases, this is a fairly straightforward process, and it is sufficient if you understand field statuses.

If you leave all the default statuses selected, all of the usual verification work for your forms is included in the job description.

Creating special Verify job descriptions

If you work with high volumes or have more than one workstation, you might want to divide the verification tasks into different stages by defining different jobs for the same forms.

For example, you can process interpretation errors first, then process validation errors in another step and type form/field complements (which have the status Incomplete) in still another. If your organization has more than one Verify module, you can assign different verify processes to different workers, with high quality and efficiency as a result.

If you do this, use the status list under Field to choose which individual statuses you want to process, and do not deselect any statuses under Form.

Important: Process statuses in the correct order

If you divide your verification tasks among two or more jobs, process lower statuses before higher statuses – that is, worse errors before less serious ones. This is because a field or form with a low status can also contain errors of a higher status.

Example:

Field1 has the status Validation error but also fits the criteria for Incomplete. After you correct the validation error, Field1 receives the new, higher status Incomplete. If you process a Verify job containing Incomplete status before another with Validation error, then your process would miss the Field1, because Field1 would not receive the Incomplete status until after the Validation error was corrected.

What you need to know when you divide up verification tasks

The more jobs you divide your verification work into, the more important it becomes that you understand what each status means when applied to a field and to a form. Be sure you have a clear understanding of:
