Validate text fields
Text fields can contain words, numbers, or a combination of both. When the content in a text field does not match a validation rule, it is marked with an error icon , indicating that you need to validate that field.
For example, a text field may contain a date such as "1 Jamuary 2004," which is invalid because of an OCR misread. This field is marked with an error icon to notify you that it needs validation. Once the error is corrected and validated, the error icon is no longer displayed.
You can validate a text field by following these steps:
- Open a document with one or more validation errors.
-
Use your mouse or the Shift + Up Arrow and Shift + Down Arrow keys to navigate to the desired field you are
validating.
If a value for the field is extracted, the corresponding area of the image is displayed in the Document Viewer.
-
Update the field value using one of the following methods.
-
Use your mouse to select a value on the image by clicking on one or more words while holding the Ctrl key.
-
Lasso the text on the image.
-
Type a value into the field.
-
-
Press Enter to send the field to the
Thin Client Server
for validation.
If you edit a text field and do not press Enter to initiate the validation process with the Thin Client Server straight away, the contents of that field are displayed as italic text when you navigate to a different field. The next time you press Enter for a field, all modified fields are sent for validation at that point.
If the field is valid, it turns green on the image, and the next invalid field or table cell automatically loads.
If the field fails validation, the field remains invalid.
