Before you start processing documents, you describe the documents – what type of information they contain and how much of this information you want to process – to the program. You do this by using Manager to create document profiles. This is different than XML document profiles.
A document profile is a general description of the information that you want to capture from a particular group of documents. One document profile can be used for documents from many different senders.
A document profile includes four types of information:
Identifier profiles
Field profiles
Transaction descriptions
Job descriptions
A document profile tells Entrance how to scan the documents. It also tells Entrance which information to look for on unknown documents.
A document profile is not an image of a document, neither is it the position of the identifiers or fields on the document. This specific sort of information is saved in document definitions.
