Lasso bar codes

Use the procedure in this topic to lasso bar codes.

Be aware of the following restrictions on bar code extraction:

  • Bar code fields are not trainable.

  • Bar codes must be included in recognition results to configure for extraction.

  • You cannot configure bar codes for extraction using suggested fields or Copilot auto extract fields. You must add bar codes manually.

  • Only one field for each bar code type is allowed per document type. For example, if your document has two Code 39 bar codes and one QR Code, you can add one field for the Code 39 bar code and another field for the QR Code.

It is not possible to lasso a bar code on a test document or when using a predefined document type.

Before you begin

Before lassoing a bar code, verify that the following steps are complete.

Procedure

  1. Toggle Hide suggested fields on to hide the suggested fields.
  2. Move the pointer over a bar code to ensure that it is available for extraction. If the bar code is highlighted in yellow, select Add bar code field.

    The Add field window is displayed, and the following settings are set by default:

    Selected text

    Populated with the value of the bar code and cannot be edited.

    New or existing

    Always set to New field and cannot be changed.

    Is bar code

    Selected and cannot be cleared.

    Bar code type

    Populated with the recognized bar code type.

  3. Enter a Name for the bar code field.
  4. Optional. Expand the advanced settings to apply field formatting and validation to your extraction fields. You can come back and edit these settings later.
  5. Select Save.

    The Add field window closes, and your bar code is added to the selected document type.

    It is not possible to add another bar code with the same bar code type to this document type.
