Batch Class Management

This topic provides information about batch class features on the Batch Class Management screen. Batch classes are used to define the processing workflow for a group of documents. From this screen, administrators can create, configure, and manage batch classes, allowing control over how documents are imported, processed, and exported.

Overview

Administrators can perform the following tasks using the Batch Class Management screen:

  • Create new batch classes.

  • Edit existing batch classes.

  • Import and export batch classes.

  • Set batch class priorities.

  • Manage encryption and security settings.

Batch Class Priority

Batch classes can be assigned a priority that determines the order in which they are processed in the system. The priority is set from the Batch Class Management screen. Priorities range from 1 (highest) to 100 (lowest). The system processes batches according to their assigned priority.

This feature allows administrators to prioritize critical documents and ensure they are processed first.

Encrypt batch class

This feature provides functionality for encrypting the XML and index files generated during the processing of a batch class. Encryption is supported at the batch class level and ensures that sensitive data is secured from unauthorized access.

Only a super admin is authorized to encrypt a batch class. A batch class can be encrypted only after the application-level key has been generated. The purpose of this feature is to secure the data from unauthorized access.

Working

The batch class key can be generated from the Batch Class Management screen using the Encrypt button. Click Encrypt to open a dialog box. By default, the NONE encryption algorithm is selected, and the Batch Class Key text box is disabled. When a user selects any encryption algorithm, the Batch Class Key text box is enabled for input.

The system supports two encryption algorithms, AES-128 and AES-256, which can be selected from the dialog box. These encryption algorithms provide high security for sensitive data.

Encryption algorithm

The AES algorithm is used for encrypting data. Users can choose between AES-128 or AES-256 bit encryption, depending on the security requirements. Both options ensure strong encryption for sensitive batch class data.

Hashing algorithm

Keys are generated using one of the following hashing algorithms:

Key length

Hashing algorithm

128

MD5

256

SHA-256

Import and export batch classes

The Import and Export functions in the Batch Class Management screen allow administrators to transfer batch classes between environments. This feature is useful for backing up configurations, migrating batch classes, or replicating configurations across multiple systems.

When exporting a batch class, all associated configurations, including security settings and encryption keys, are included in the export. Ensure that the correct encryption protocols are in place before exporting sensitive batch classes.

Batch class features

Batch classes can be configured with a variety of features, depending on the processing requirements. Some key features include:

  • Multi-page document processing

  • Barcode classification and extraction

  • Document assembly

  • Encryption and security management

These features provide administrators with control over the entire document processing workflow, from document capture to export.
