2 Getting started with Capture

This chapter describes how to get started using the Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture client. First the basics of Capture are introduced, including how Capture works with batches, documents, attachments, and profiles. After starting the client application, you learn how to navigate its panes. Lastly, you identify your Capture role by learning the main ways users use the client to scan, import, index, and work with document batches.

This chapter covers the following main topics:

- Understanding Capture basics

- Starting the Capture client

- Navigating the Capture client

- Capture client uses

- Setting preferences

2.1 Understanding Capture basics

This section describes what you need to know about Capture to start using it.

- What is the Capture client?

- What are batches and documents?

- What is a client profile?

- What types of documents can I scan or import into Capture?

- How do I know whether I can capture and index batches?

- How do I complete processing batches and release them?

2.1.1 What is the Capture client?

The Capture client is Capture's user application for:

- Scanning and importing (capturing) documents

- Reviewing, editing, and indexing documents

- Releasing documents so that they can be further processed, checked into a content repository, or attached to business application records

The Capture client is installed and launched as a native desktop application that does not require a web browser.

2.1.2 What are batches and documents?

Batches and documents are the primary drivers of work in Capture.

- As a client user, you scan or import groups of pages in batches using a client profile, which is defined by an administrator known as a Capture workspace manager. See What is a client profile?.

- A batch contains one or more documents, which may be related (for example, multiple documents for a customer) or unrelated (for example, documents divided by separator sheets). A document may consist of scanned images or an electronic file such as a Microsoft Word or a PDF file. See What types of documents can I scan or import into Capture?.

- A document contains zero or more attachments. An attachment may consist of images or an electronic file such as Microsoft Word or a PDF file.

- A batch can be locked or unlocked. A lock icon displays when a batch is locked by you or another user. Releasing a batch removes the batch icon’s lock and depending on the client profile settings, frees the batch for another user or a system processor to work on. See How do I complete processing batches and release them?.

Figure 2-1 Batches and Documents

- If the client profile includes indexing, each document can be assigned metadata (index) values. A customer document might be assigned metadata values such as a customer ID and name. Documents of different types in a batch typically have different sets of metadata fields available. A document profile identifies the set of metadata fields to complete for a selected document.

2.1.3 What is a client profile?

A client profile is a group of settings you select to instruct Capture how to scan, import, or index a batch's documents. A client profile controls such things as scanner settings, how documents are created and separated in the batch, whether metadata fields are available, and what happens next to batches after you release them.

2.1.4 What types of documents can I scan or import into Capture?

In Capture, a document consists of one of the following:

- One or more images obtained from a scanner or imported from a file.

- A non-image, electronic file such as a Microsoft Word or a PDF file. When you import non-image files, the client profile determines if they are retained in their original format, converted to an image format, or prevented from being imported.

2.1.5 How do I know whether I can capture and index batches?

The selected client profile determines whether you can use it to capture documents only, capture and index documents, or index documents only. You can tell the client profile's type by the toolbar buttons and panes that display when you select a document in the batch pane:

- If no metadata pane displays, the client profile is capture-only. Capture-only profiles do not include indexing.

- If metadata fields display in the lower left pane and capture buttons display in the batch pane, the client profile is capture-and-index.

- If metadata fields display in the lower left pane but no capture buttons display in the batch pane, the client profile is index-only. You can assign metadata values to documents in index-only batches, but cannot append, insert, or replace pages.

2.1.6 How do I complete processing batches and release them?

When you are done working on a batch's documents, you release the batch, which unlocks it from your use (if there are no release processes defined). If you selected an available release process and released batches, the next action performed on the batch depends on the selected release process. What happens next depends on the client profile settings:

- The batch may be removed from the batch pane list and committed elsewhere such as to a content repository, or it may be placed in a queue for further processing such as document conversion or bar code recognition.

- The batch may remain in the list but unlocked (no lock icon displays). This allows you or another user to lock the batch for use and make further changes.

2.2 Starting the Capture client

The first time you access the client, enter the web address in a browser, sign in using your user ID and password, and click the Install Client button to install the client application on your workstation. After the client application is installed on your workstation, start the Capture client in one of the following ways:

- Enter a web address in a browser, sign in using your user ID and password, and click the Launch Client button in the browser to launch the client application on the workstation.
For example, you might enter a URL with the following format in a browser address field:

http://hostname:16400/dc-client

- Use the Start menu shortcut or desktop shortcut to launch the client application on the workstation.

- Begin scanning in another application, such as a business application.
For example, you might click a Scan button from a record in your business application, to scan a document and attach it to the selected business record.

Note:
When prompted, sign in to Capture by entering a user ID, a password, and a resolvable host name or IP address of the Capture server that is being accessed.

2.3 Navigating the Capture client

The Capture client provides a single window with three distinct work areas, or panes. You perform actions on batches, documents, attachments, and pages in these panes:

- Batch pane
The batch pane in the upper left is fixed, while its other panes change, depending on your selection in the batch pane's tree. See How do I use the batch pane?.

When you select a batch in the batch pane, batch information displays in the right pane to view or edit. For example, change the batch's status or priority, or include a note as a reminder or for others to view. See How do I use the batch information pane?.

- Document pane
When you select a document or a document’s attachment in the batch pane, the right pane displays the document pane, containing the batch's documents, their thumbnail images, and document options in a top toolbar. See How do I use the document pane?.

- Metadata pane
The lower left pane, the metadata pane, displays metadata fields for indexing documents. Note that the metadata pane displays only when indexing is configured for the selected client profile. See How do I use the metadata pane?.

Figure 2-2 Capture Client Window Displaying Batch, Document, and Metadata Panes

2.3.1 How do I use the batch pane?

The batch pane always displays in the upper left pane, listing batches and their documents in a hierarchical batch list tree. Use the batch pane to select batches, documents, and attachments, and to perform actions on batches by clicking batch toolbar buttons above the tree.

- To select a batch, click its name. You can edit its batch information in the right pane. See How do I use the batch information pane?.

Figure 2-3 Batch Selected in Batch Pane

- To select a document, expand the batch by clicking the triangle before the batch name, then select a document.

Figure 2-4 Document Selected in Batch Pane

- To select an attachment, expand a document by clicking the triangle before the document, and then select an attachment.

- Right click a non-image document and select View document in associated application from the context menu to view the document in an associated application.

- Right click a document and select Duplicate from the context menu to duplicate the document or selected pages of the document. See How do I duplicate one or more pages of a document? and How do I duplicate a document?.

- Right click a document and select Find Document from the context menu to find a document within a batch where a displayed metadata field matches the criteria in the Find field. See How do I find a document?.

To ensure standard input, metadata fields may use input masks or special formatting, numeric or date fields, choice lists, or database lookups, as described in Indexing documents. An asterisk indicates a required metadata field. See How does indexing work?.
For example, you might enter an account number or look up a value from the database, which might auto populate related metadata fields.

- Use the Document Profile field to identify the set of metadata fields to complete for the selected document.
For example, a batch of customer documents might contain correspondence and customer agreement document profiles. While indexing, you would select a Correspondence document profile each time you encounter a correspondence document and complete its fields, then select the Customer Agreement document profile each time you encounter an agreement document.

- To move between metadata fields using keyboard shortcuts, press Tab to move to the next metadata field, and Shift-Tab to move to the previous metadata field.

- Use the Attachment Type field to change the attachment type for a selected attachment. This field is not available for capture-only profiles.

2.3.4 How do I use the batch information pane?

Whenever you select a batch in the left batch pane, batch information displays in the right pane. Use the batch information to add or edit notes about the batch, and change its status or priority. You can also view the name of the user who created the batch and when it was created and last modified. See Working with batches.

2.4 Capture client uses

This section introduces ways that production, knowledge, and business users use Capture.

Capture users typically fall into one of the following categories:

- Production users launch Capture to process large volumes of batches and their documents. See Scenario 1: Scanning and indexing documents and Scenario 2: Scanning documents only for scanning, and Scenario 4: Indexing documents only for indexing.

- Knowledge workers launch Capture to scan, import, and/or index documents occasionally as part of their job. See Scenario 1: Scanning and indexing documents and Scenario 3: Importing document files.

- Business application users launch Capture indirectly from their business application to quickly scan and attach documents related to business application records. See Scenario 5: Scanning or importing documents via business application.

2.4.1 Scenario 1: Scanning and indexing documents

This scenario applies to both a production user assigned to scan entire boxes of paper document folders and a user who scans document batches on an occasional basis. Regardless, the user must know the client profiles to use for different types of document batches. For example, this user might select:

- A client profile called Separator Pages to scan batches that have separator pages placed between documents.

- A client profile called Simplex or Duplex to scan batches that are composed of only single or double-sided documents.

- A client profile called Prompt that prompts the user to specify how documents are comprised.

Within the client, the user chooses a client profile configured for the type of batch to scan and begins capturing a batch. The user reviews and indexes each document, then unlocks or releases the batch. See Scanning documents for more information.

2.4.2 Scenario 2: Scanning documents only

In this case, the user's task is to scan batches of documents without indexing them. When scanning in Capture, a capture-only batch contains one document only, which may be separated into multiple documents and indexed later. For example, these batches may be later separated and indexed by users who index only (Scenario 4: Indexing documents only) or through an automated process such as bar code recognition or intelligent document recognition.

Within the client, the user chooses a client profile configured for capture only and begins capturing a batch. The user reviews each document, then unlocks or releases the batch. See Scanning documents for more information.

2.4.3 Scenario 3: Importing document files

This case involves creating batches by importing electronic files, either multiple image files or non-image files such as Microsoft Word or PDF files.

Within the client, the user chooses a client profile configured for the type of batch to import and begins capturing a batch by selecting files to import. The user reviews and indexes each document (if configured), then unlocks or releases the batch. See Importing documents for more information.

2.4.4 Scenario 4: Indexing documents only

In this case, the user's task is to assign metadata values to previously captured documents. For example, batches might have been scanned by production users, imported as electronic files, or imported as part of a bulk process.

Within the client, the user chooses an index-only client profile, then selects a batch to index. Typically, the batch list is filtered to display only batches that need indexing. If the documents are unorganized within the batch, all batch pages are assigned to the first document. The user creates new documents if needed. After indexing each document, the user unlocks or releases the batch. See How does indexing work? for more information.

2.4.5 Scenario 5: Scanning or importing documents via business application

This scenario begins from a business application rather than the Capture client. After completing customer entry fields, the user needs to scan or import a related document and attach it to the selected customer record.

The user clicks a Scan or Import button from a business application record. The client window displays and Capture immediately begins scanning or prompting for import, using the settings in a preselected client profile. Once captured, the batch is displayed. Often, metadata fields are automatically populated with values entered for the business application record.

Typically, the user reviews and indexes the documents, then releases the batch. The user returns to the business application record or another web page, and the document becomes attached to the business application record. See How do I scan or import from a business application? for details.

2.5 Setting preferences

Use preferences to select scanning settings, accessibility features, logging options, and other settings. To view and edit Capture client preferences:

1. Click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window and select Preferences. The Preferences window displays.

Figure 2-5 Preferences Window

2. Set other preferences as needed.

- For accessibility-related preferences, see Client Accessibility Features.

- For scanning-related preferences, see How do I set scanning preferences?.

- For logging preferences, see How do I set batch logging?.

- For miscellaneous preferences, see How do I limit the batch list?.

3. Click Save.

2.5.1 How do I resize the window’s panes?

You can resize the left and right panes as well as the batch and metadata panes. To resize, move the cursor over the pane separation. When the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow, click and drag to resize.

After resizing, the new dimensions are automatically saved and displayed the next time you open the client.

3 Scanning and importing documents

In the Capture client, document capture occurs in one of two ways: you scan paper documents using a TWAIN-compliant device, or you import electronic files. This chapter provides details on how to scan and import documents, based on client profile settings.

This chapter covers the following main topics:

- Understanding scanning

- Scanning documents

- Importing documents

3.1 Understanding scanning

This section covers the following topics:

- How are image and non-image documents handled in Capture?

- How does scanning work?

- How are documents created during scanning?

- How does importing work?

3.1.1 How are image and non-image documents handled in Capture?

Capture accommodates image and non-image documents:

- When you scan documents, Capture creates multiple page image documents. In the document pane, you can view and edit each page individually (for example, move and rotate pages), and also verify where one document ends, and the next begins.

- When you import non-image documents, Capture uses the client profile setting, taking one of the following paths:

- Converts the file to a multiple page image document, as if you had scanned it. In the document pane, a thumbnail is displayed for each image, and you can select and edit individual pages (for example, move and rotate pages).

- Imports the file and retains it in its native format. In the document pane, a thumbnail is displayed for each non-image page, up to a maximum number set in the client profile. You can index the document, but cannot edit its pages.

- Prevents the file from being imported, and displays an error message.

3.1.2 How does scanning work?

Suppose you are handed one or more large boxes and instructed to scan their contents. You discover that each folder contains multiple customer documents, but they are assembled in many different ways. Some contain one page documents, some double-sided documents, and others contain related documents of varying numbers of pages. How do you scan them in batches so that it is clear where one document ends and the next one begins?

To know how to scan documents, you must know several key items:

- How the documents are structured within each batch for scanning (see How are documents created during scanning?)

- Which client profile to use, so that it can be matched to the structure

For production scanning, you are likely to use an ADF (automatic document feeder), a scanner or multifunction device feature that automatically feeds in pages one at a time, allowing you to scan multiple-page documents without manually replacing each page.

Note:

During scanning, the Capture client captures TWAIN related metadata such as bar codes, patch codes, printer string, and MICR (if available from the scanner), and saves them as attributes for use within client scripts. For information on file/page attributes, see How do I view file information?. See Creating Client Scripts in Developing Scripts for Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture.

3.1.3 How are documents created during scanning?

When scanning, the selected client profile determines how documents are created and separated within a batch. Document separation and creation happen in one of these ways:

- Capture prompts you to select a document creation option when you start scanning.
You select simplex (one-sided), duplex (double-sided), or a variable number of pages, which is typically for use with separator pages. For more information about prompted scanning, see How do I create documents if prompted when scanning?.

- Capture automatically creates documents based on the selected client profile's settings.
For example, when you scan with a client profile configured for duplex scanning, Capture automatically creates a new document after scanning both sides of a page. Typically, the Capture workspace manager specifies how each client profile you use automatically creates documents.

For more information about scanning with separator sheets, see How do I scan using separator pages?.

After a batch's documents have been created, you can adjust them as needed in the document pane. For example, you can create new documents (How do I split a document, creating a new document?) and remove document separation (How do I remove a document separation?). You can also drag and drop pages between documents as needed.

3.1.4 How does importing work?

You can import image documents, such as multiple page TIFF files, and non-image documents, such as Microsoft Word files, if allowed by the client profile. See How are image and non-image documents handled in Capture?. Instead of selecting a scanner source, select Import Source.

Each time you import, specify how to create documents in the batch if multiple files are selected:

- Create one document for all import files

- Create one document per import file

Note:

Multiple non-image files cannot be imported into one document. If you select multiple non-image files for import and specify to create one document for all import files, the Capture client displays an error message indicating that the selection is invalid.

After specifying a document creation option, select files to import. You can optionally rotate images upon import and delete source files after import.

3.2 Scanning documents

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I prepare documents for scanning?

- How do I select a scanner to use for Capture scanning?

- How do I select scanner settings?

- How do I scan documents?

- How do I scan or import from a business application?

- How do I scan using separator pages?

- How do I create documents if prompted when scanning?

- How do I set scanning preferences?

3.2.1 How do I prepare documents for scanning?

To prepare documents for scanning:

1. Make sure the scanner is turned on.

For some scanners, you must ensure that the scanner is powered on before turning on the computer.

2. Determine the client profile to use.

If needed, ask your Capture workspace manager which client profile to use for batches to scan, based on their structure. You should know how the client profile creates documents within batches, as described in How does scanning work?.

3. Organize documents into batches for scanning, inserting separator sheets between documents if needed.

For example, organize single-sided documents into a batch for use with a simplex client profile.

3.2.2 How do I select a scanner to use for Capture scanning?

To scan, you must have a TWAIN-compliant scanner available to your system.

1. Click the right side of the Capture Settings/Source button in the batch pane (Ctrl+Alt+S).

When you click the triangle, one or more capture sources are listed. A check mark displays next to the selected capture source, which may be a scanner or Import Source.

2. If you have multiple scanner sources listed, select one to use. To import rather than scan, select Import Source.

3.2.3 How do I select scanner settings?

Follow these steps to select scanner settings, which are specific to the selected scanner. Because capture settings are saved with the client profile, you can configure different scanner settings for each client profile. Note that you can set additional scanner options under Preferences, as described in How do I set scanning preferences?.

1. If needed, select the scanner source to which to apply settings.

Press Ctrl+Alt+S and choose a scanner, as described in How do I select a scanner to use for Capture scanning?.

2. Click the left side of the Capture Settings/Source button in the batch pane (Ctrl+S).

Settings relating to the selected scanner display.

Figure 3-1 Example Scanner Settings

3. Select scanner settings.

See the documentation provided with the scanner for more information. Note that settings relating to color and resolution may be disabled, depending on client profile settings.

3.2.4 How do I scan documents?

Follow these steps to scan a batch. These instructions assume that you have prepared the documents for scanning as described in How do I prepare documents for scanning?.

1. Place the documents on the feeder tray of the scanner.

2. In the batch pane of the Capture client window, select a client profile.

3. If needed, select a different capture source by clicking the right side of the Capture Settings/Source button and choosing an available scanner (How do I select a scanner to use for Capture scanning?).

4. Click the Capture button. If prompted, select a document creation option (How do I create documents if prompted when scanning?).

Capture begins scanning. If you encounter scanning problems, first check that the cables are properly connected and the scanner is powered on.

The batch is created in the batch pane list and locked to you. It displays in one of two ways:

- The batch is selected in the batch pane and its batch information displays in the right pane.

- The batch is open in the batch pane with its first document selected, while options for editing and indexing documents display in the right pane and lower left pane, respectively. To set this display as the default setting, click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window and select Preferences. In the Preferences window, select the Auto Review/Index batch after scanning field.

3.2.5 How do I scan or import from a business application?

For background information, see Scenario 5: Scanning or importing documents via business application. Note that when capturing from a business application, the client profile is preselected and cannot be changed.

1. In a business application, click the button to capture documents. For example, click a Scan or Import button on a business record screen.

The Capture client window displays. Depending on client profile settings, Capture may immediately begin scanning using the specified scanner, or you may be prompted to select files to import or begin scanning.

2. If importing, select one or more files to import.

After the scanned or imported batch is created, it displays in one of two ways:

- The batch is selected in the batch pane and its batch information displays in the right pane.

- The batch is open in the batch pane with its first document selected, while options for editing and indexing documents display in the right pane and lower left pane, respectively. To set this display as the default setting, click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window, select Preferences, and select the Auto Review/Index batch after scanning field in the Preferences window.

3. Review, edit, and index documents as needed. Metadata fields may already contain values.

4. If needed, click the Capture button in the batch pane to capture additional batches.

Typically, only batches from your current Capture client session are listed in the batch pane.

5. Release batches by selecting one or more batches in the batch pane (holding down the Ctrl key), and clicking the Release button.

Depending on client settings, releasing batches may automatically sign you out of the Capture client and return you to the line of business web application. If not, click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the client window and select Sign Out to exit Capture.

3.2.6 How do I create documents if prompted when scanning?

Depending on client profile settings, the Document Creation Options window may display after you click Capture to begin scanning, prompting you to specify how to create documents.

1. Specify the contents of each document in the batch. You can choose:

- One Page (Simplex): Select this option if all documents are single-sided.

- Two Pages (Duplex): Select this option if all documents are double-sided.

- Variable Number of Pages: Select this option if you are using separator sheets to define documents (as described in How do I scan using separator pages?) or if documents are neither all single-sided or all double-sided documents.

2. Click OK.

Capture scans and creates a batch based on the document creation option you chose.

If you chose Variable Number of Pages but did not insert separator sheets, Capture created a single document. Use the Create New Document button in the document pane to create document separations in the batch (How do I split a document, creating a new document?).

3.2.7 How do I scan using separator pages?

Separator pages provide a useful way of identifying where one document ends and the next one starts in a batch. To scan batches with documents divided by separator pages:

1. Before scanning, insert blank sheets between documents.

2. In the batch pane, select a client profile configured for separator sheet scanning.

The profile must be set to either prompt you to choose a document creation option or to create documents with a variable number of pages. If needed, ask your Capture workspace manager about client profile use.

3. Click the Capture button with a scanner source selected.

- If the Document Creation Options window displays, select Variable Number of Pages. Select the Enable Separator Sheets field and enter a number in the Bytes field below it. The Bytes field defines the difference between a blank separator page and a page with a small amount of text. A blank page is detected if its file size (in bytes) is below a threshold value. The recommended number is 1500, which means Capture considers each page on which it finds fewer than 1500 bytes to be a blank page, and deletes it from the batch. If you encounter problems with this setting, increase or decrease the number of bytes as required.

- If no prompt displays, Capture looks for blank pages while scanning and upon detecting one, creates a new document and discards the blank page. A blank page is detected if its file size (in bytes) is below a separator sheet threshold value configured in the client profile.

4. View the new batch's documents. The blank separator sheets were discarded when the batch was created.

3.2.8 How do I set scanning preferences?

In addition to scanner settings you configure using the Capture Settings/Source button (see How do I select scanner settings?), you can set additional scanning options under Preferences settings:

1. Click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window and select Preferences. The Preferences window displays. See Setting preferences.

2. Optionally select the Prompt user to continue scanning into current batch field.

When selected, a message displays after Capture completes the initial scan that asks if you want to continue scanning into the current batch. This option allows you to pause to insert more paper into the automatic document feeder after it runs out of paper, then scan the pages into the current batch. It is also useful when scanning pages one at a time into a batch.

3. If needed, select the Prevent File Mode Transfer field.

File mode transfer, which instructs the TWAIN-compliant driver to write image files to disk rather than transfer them by memory buffer, is the preferred approach, as it significantly increases scanning performance. However, file transfer mode can cause scanning issues with certain scanner drivers. If needed, select this field to turn off file transfer mode.

4. Optionally select the Auto Review/Index batch after scanning field to view a batch in the document pane immediately after completing scanning the batch.

5. In the Minimum number of bytes scanned before deleting a page field, optionally specify how blank pages should be detected and deleted.

In this field, set the number of bytes below which Capture considers a page blank and deletes it. If this value is 0, Capture uses the value configured in the client profile for blank page detection.

6. Click Save.

3.3 Importing documents

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I specify importing rather than scanning?

- How do I select import settings?

- How do I import files into a batch?

3.3.1 How do I specify importing rather than scanning?

To specify importing as the capture source:

1. In the batch pane, click the right side of the Capture Settings/Source button.

2. Select Import Source.

3. Click the Capture button to begin importing files.

3.3.2 How do I select import settings?

Follow these steps to select default import settings to display each time you import files. Import settings are saved with the selected client profile.

The Import Settings window displays. (If scanner settings display instead, click the right side of the Capture Settings/Source button and select Import Source.)

Figure 3-2 Selecting Import Settings

2. Click Browse next to the Import Directory field and specify a location from which to select files to import.

3. To import files of a specific type, select the type in the File Type field. For example, select TIFF to list TIFF files only. To display all files in the directory regardless of type, select All files.

4. In the Rotation Settings field, select a rotation degree (0, 90, 180, or 270). Capture rotates images during import as specified.

5. Select the Delete source files after import field to delete images from the import directory after they are successfully imported.

6. Click OK to save the settings.

3.3.3 How do I import files into a batch?

Follow these steps to import image files (such as multi-page TIFFs) or non-image files (such as Microsoft Word or PDF files) into Capture. When importing non-image files, the selected client profile determines whether Capture converts the files to image format, imports them in their native format, or prevents them from being imported.

1. In the batch pane, select a client profile.

This profile contains the settings used to import and create Capture batches. If needed, ask a Capture workspace manager which one to use.

2. If needed, click the right side of the Capture Settings/Source button and select Import Source to specify importing rather than scanning.

3. Click the Capture button.

4. In the Import window, specify how to create documents (one document from multiple files or one document per file), and click OK.

Figure 3-3 Selecting an Import Document Creation Option

5. In the Select files to import window, select one or more files to import, holding down the Ctrl key to select multiple files.

The selected files are displayed in the File Name field.

6. Click OK.

A new batch containing the imported files is selected in the batch pane.

4 Reviewing and editing documents

Whether you are working with documents at a production or small batch level, most likely you will need to review and adjust them in the document pane. This chapter describes how to review and update documents before releasing them for indexing, further processing, or writing to a content repository.

This chapter covers the following main topics:

- Reviewing documents and pages

- Editing documents and pages

- Creating and removing documents

- Creating and removing attachments

- Adding, replacing, and deleting pages

Perform the following steps to find a document within a batch where a displayed metadata field matches the criteria in the Find field:

1. You can either select the document in the batch pane and click Find Document from the batch pane's toolbar or right click the document and select Find Document from the context menu. A horizontal toolbar with the Find Document options is displayed in the batch pane above the metadata pane.

2. Enter a value to search in the Find field. The search is case sensitive.

3. In the Options drop-down list select one of the following options:

- Blank Required Fields: To find blank required fields.

- Use wildcards: To specify wildcard characters in the Find field. Use ? as a wildcard to match any single character. Use * as a wildcard to match zero, one, or more characters.

4. To start the search, either press the ENTER key in the Find field or click Find Next or Find Previous. The search starts at the next metadata field after the current metadata field.

5. The document on which the search value is found is displayed. If no documents are found, the message “No documents found” is displayed.
You can optionally continue to search by clicking the Find Previous or Find Next icons. Click the Close Find Toolbar icon to close the Find toolbar.

4.2 Editing documents and pages

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I increase an image’s quality?

- How do I move a page to another document?

- How do I duplicate one or more pages of a document?

- How do I rotate or flip pages?

4.2.1 How do I increase an image’s quality?

Many scanners have capabilities to improve black/white image quality using features such as noise removal and dynamic thresholding. Review your scanner's documentation to optimize image quality when scanning in black/white.

Follow these steps to increase image quality:

1. Make sure the scanner is operating optimally as described in its documentation (for example, ensure that the glass is clean).

2. In the batch pane, click the left side of the Capture Settings/Source button and adjust the available scanner settings (for example, adjust brightness and contrast for scanning). Note that a client profile may restrict you from changing some scanner settings such as DPI resolution and color.

3. If needed, contact your Capture workspace manager to request that scanner settings such as DPI or brightness and contrast be adjusted for the client profile.

4.2.2 How do I move a page to another document?

To move a page within a document or to another document, drag and drop the page's thumbnail to the new location.

Note: If you drag the only remaining page in a document to another document, the document is automatically removed.

4.2.3 How do I duplicate one or more pages of a document?

Follow these steps to duplicate one or more pages of a document to a new document:

1. Select one or more pages of an image document and either click Duplicate from the document pane's toolbar or right click the document and select Duplicate from the context menu.
The Duplicate window is displayed.

2. Select the Selected Pages option.

3. Specify the number of copies to be created in the Number of Copies field. The default value is 1 and the maximum value is 10.

4. Select the Keep Metadata Values field if you want the duplicated document(s) to have the same document profile and metadata values as the source document.

5. Click OK.
The duplicated document(s) that are newly created using the selected pages are inserted immediately after the source document in the batch/document list tree.

4.2.4 How do I rotate or flip pages?

To rotate or flip pages:

1. In the Document pane, select the thumbnails of one or more pages to rotate or flip.

Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple thumbnails. If you scanned an entire batch upside down, press Ctrl+A to select all pages before selecting the Flip option described in the next step.

2. Click one of the rotate buttons. Rotating or flipping a page saves it that way within the batch.

- Click Rotate Left to rotate images 90 degrees counterclockwise.

- Click Rotate Right to rotate images 90 degrees clockwise.

- Click Flip to rotate images by 180 degrees.

4.3 Creating and removing documents

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I split a document, creating a new document?

- How do I remove a document separation?

- How do I delete a document and its pages?

- How do I duplicate a document?

4.3.1 How do I split a document, creating a new document?

For example, suppose you realize that certain pages belong to another customer and need to be in a separate document.

1. Select the page at which to create a new document.

2. From the document pane toolbar, click the Create New Document button.

A new document that starts with the current page and includes all pages below it until the next document is created.

4.3.2 How do I remove a document separation?

Follow these steps to remove a document separation, which appends the selected document's pages to the previous document. To delete a document and its pages instead, see How do I delete a document and its pages?.

1. Select the document to merge with its previous document.

If you select the first document in a batch, you are prompted to delete the document because it has no previous document.

To delete one or more pages in an image document or image attachment:

1. In the document pane, select the thumbnails of pages to delete. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple thumbnails.

2. Click the Delete Pages button and confirm the deletion.

5 Indexing documents

Metadata values allow you to classify documents, particularly for retrieving them later from a content repository by searching for one or more of their metadata values. Whether you are performing production indexing or indexing as part of scanning or importing, the same methods apply. This chapter describes how you select a document profile to match the type of document to index and the various ways you may complete metadata fields, depending on client profile settings.

This chapter covers the following main topics:

- Understanding document indexing

- Indexing documents

5.1 Understanding document indexing

This section covers the following topics:

- How does indexing work?

- How do database lookups work?

- How do metadata fields use input masks?

- How do metadata fields use display formatting?

- How do choice list metadata fields work?

5.1.1 How does indexing work?

Follow these guidelines for indexing in the Capture client:

- If the selected client profile is configured for indexing, metadata fields display in the lower left pane when you select a document in the batch pane.

- All pages of a document share the same metadata values, so indexing one page of a document indexes all its pages. In the document pane, documents in a batch are visually divided by a light-colored bar. In the batch pane, documents are listed under their batch.

- An asterisk (*) displays to the left of a metadata field name if it is required. A document is fully indexed when all required metadata fields contain a value. Documents do not need to be fully indexed to release the batch, but an error may occur in a later batch processing step. See Handling batch errors.

- To ensure standard input, metadata fields may use input masks or input formatting, choice lists, or database lookups, as described later in this section.

- To improve readability, you can adjust the font size of the metadata fields in the Preferences window. See How do I set scanning preferences?.

5.1.2 How do database lookups work?

A database lookup contains connection and search information to connect to a database and search for matching records associated with a metadata field value. Depending on the configuration, a list of search results may display, and database values may automatically populate other metadata fields when one database record is found. For example, a database lookup might be defined on a customer name field that then populates customer metadata fields such as customer Id and address. See How do I index by looking up values from a database?.

5.1.3 How do metadata fields use input masks?

If a metadata field uses an input mask, or filter, it controls what you can enter into the metadata field. For example, a mask might allow you to type numbers but not alphabetic characters into the field, or might limit your entry to four characters. If you type a character that does not conform to the mask, the system beeps and the application does not accept it. For example, a metadata field named Invoice Number might use an input mask that restricts entries to a 7-digit number.

5.1.4 How do metadata fields use display formatting?

A metadata field may use a display format to ensure that entries display in a certain format. When you move to another metadata field, Capture changes the data display, if needed, to match the display format. For example, an entry in a date field might be changed to display a standard date format. Note that the metadata value Capture saves is not changed.

5.1.5 How do choice list metadata fields work?

A choice list field provides a list of values from which to choose. Click the triangle next to the field to display and select from the choice list. (Depending on client profile settings, a choice list may allow you to enter rather than select a value.)

Choice list fields can be dependent, where a selection in one choice list field (the parent) determines the choices displayed in a dependent choice list field (the child).

5.2 Indexing documents

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I index a document?

- How do I index by looking up values from a database?

5.2.1 How do I index a document?

To index a document:

1. Select a document to index.

Either select the document in the batch pane or select any of its thumbnail pages in the document pane. The metadata pane displays in the lower left pane. Some metadata fields may already contain autopopulated values.

2. In the Document Profile field, select a document profile that matches the type of document to index.

For example, if indexing a customer order document, you might select a document profile with Customer Number, Customer Name, and Order metadata fields.

Note:

When changing the selected document profile, a message displays indicating that any values in fields not in the new profile will be discarded. Click Yes to continue.

3. Complete the required metadata fields. See Understanding document indexing. For indexing keyboard shortcuts, see Table 2-3.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to index each document in a batch.

5.2.2 How do I index by looking up values from a database?

To perform a database lookup:

1. In the metadata pane, place the cursor in a metadata field for which a database lookup has been configured.

The Database Lookup button is active when you can perform a database search on the selected metadata field.

2. Enter the value to match. (Numeric fields often require exact values.)

In certain cases, you may be able to enter only the first few characters of the value to match, if allowed by the client profile. For example, you might enter New in a metadata field called Company to search for records whose Company field name starts with New. However, displaying lookup results can take a long time when you enter partial values with many records to return.

3. Click the Database Lookup button.

The Database Lookup Results window is displayed if multiple records were found or if the Capture workspace manager chose to display it. Otherwise, values automatically fill one or more fields without displaying a list of results.

Figure 5-1 Selecting From Database Lookup Results

4. If lookup results were displayed, select a matching record and click Select. (You can also double-click a record to select it.)

Values from the database record are populated in the metadata fields.

6 Working with batches

A batch is a collection of scanned images or electronic document files (such as PDF or Microsoft Office files) that can be organized into logical documents and stored in a repository. Pages are scanned into batches where they can then be organized into documents, indexed and released. After batches of documents are scanned or imported, they are ready for review, indexing (if specified), editing, and release. This chapter describes how to use batches: how to view, filter, and find them, lock them to work on or release them, change their properties, or edit them.

This chapter covers the following main topics:

- Understanding batches

- Sorting, filtering, and searching for batches

- Editing batches

- Changing batch information

- Releasing batches

6.1 Understanding batches

This section covers the following topics:

- How are batches named?

- What happens when I lock or release a batch?

6.1.1 How are batches named?

When batches are created, they are automatically named using the client profile's prefix (for example, SCAN or IMPORT), followed by an internal sequence number.

6.1.2 What happens when I lock or release a batch?

- Batches are automatically locked to you when you create them by scanning or importing, or when you open (expand) them. This allows you to work on batches without another user attempting to access them. You can have many batches locked to your workstation.

- If there are no release processes defined and you unlock batches, Capture sends their documents and metadata to the Capture server and unlocks them.

- If you selected an available release process and released batches, the next action performed on a batch depends on the selected release process.
During batch release, a progress bar moves to the right on the batch name to indicate release progress. You can select and work on other batches while the batch release continues in the background.

- After release, the next action performed on a batch depends on its client profile settings.

- Batches may move to a post-processing step, such as bar code recognition, document conversion, or committing to a content repository.

- Batches may become unlocked, allowing other users to lock and edit them. For example, after scan operators create, review, and edit batches, they might release them to index operators who select, index, and release them for post-processing.

6.2 Sorting, filtering, and searching for batches

This section covers the following topics:

- Which batches are listed in the batch pane?

- How do I search for batches or filter the list?

- How do I sort the batch list?

- How do I limit the batch list?

6.2.1 Which batches are listed in the batch pane?

The following guidelines describe which batches display in the batch pane:

- Batches locked to you are always listed, unless you have set a limit on the maximum number to display under Preferences (see How do I limit the batch list?). Batches locked to you display the following icon:

- Whether you see batches that are unlocked or locked to other users depends on settings in the selected client profile. For example, the batch list may be limited to batches with a certain prefix, in a certain state (such as error or processing), or with a selected status or priority. (Note that you cannot open batches locked to another user or process.)

- You can filter the batch list displayed using search options. A filter remains during refreshes until you remove it. For example, you might filter the batch list to display a limited set of batches, such as high priority batches or older batches only, or search for batches containing one or more documents that encountered an error.

6.2.2 How do I search for batches or filter the list?

You can search for batches by name, date, status, priority, and state. Note that the filtered list always includes batches locked to you in addition to the search results.

To search for batches:

1. In the batch pane, click the Search button.

2. In the Batch Search Criteria window, specify how to search for batches using the criteria listed in Table 6-1.
You can specify multiple search options. Keep in mind that all specified search fields must match for a batch to be found, although only one value within a search field needs to match. For example, if you select Urgent in the Status field and 8, 9, and 10 in the Priority field, batches with an Urgent status AND a priority of 8, 9 OR 10 are found. On the other hand, batches with an Urgent status but a priority of 0, or batches with no status and a priority of 8, 9, or 10, are not found.

Figure 6-1 Searching or Filtering Batches for Display

Table 6-1 Batch Search Criteria

Search Criteria

Description

Batch Name

Enter a batch name to search for. You can specify a partial name followed by % to match one or more characters. For example, entering Batch% would match batches named Batch15 and Batches214.

From Date/To Date

Search for batches created within a date range by clicking the calendar button adjacent to the date field and selecting a from date and an end date.

Status

Search for batches by their assigned status by selecting one or more statuses. Batches assigned any selected status will match.

Priority

Search for batches by their assigned priority by selecting one or more priorities. Batches assigned any selected priorities will match.

Batch State

Search for batches by their system assigned state by selecting one or more states. Batches assigned any selected state will match. Available batch states include:

- Ready: Batches are not locked and no errors have been encountered

- Locked: Batches are locked by any user

- Error: An error has been encountered in one or more documents in the batch

- Processing: Batches are currently being processed by a Capture processor or processor job

3. Click OK.
The filtered search results display in the batch pane. Remember that batches locked to you always display in the batch pane, regardless of batch filter settings, and that batch filtering remains when you refresh the batch list until removed.

To remove a search filter:

1. In the batch pane, click the Search button.

2. In the Batch Search Criteria window, click Clear Criteria, and then click OK.

The batch pane no longer filters the list by search criteria.

6.2.3 How do I sort the batch list?

You can sort the batch list to display batches to work on first. For example, you might sort by priority to address batches assigned a high priority first.

To sort the batch list:

1. In the batch pane, click the column heading by which to sort. For example, click the Priority heading to sort by priority. The column is sorted and a triangle displays next to the column heading, indicating ascending or descending (inverted triangle) order.

2. Click the heading again if needed to change the sort order.

Note that clicking the heading repeatedly switches between ascending order, descending order, and the default sort order.

To sort by more than one column, hold down the Shift key and click another column.

6.2.4 How do I limit the batch list?

To limit the number of batches listed in the batch pane:

1. Click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window and select Preferences. The Preferences window displays.

2. In the Maximum Batches to Display field, set the maximum number of batches to list in the batch pane.

Limiting the list can increase performance. The default is 100.

3. Click Save.

To see the new batch list setting used, refresh the batch list or select a client profile.

6.3 Editing batches

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I edit an unlocked batch?

- How do I delete a batch?

6.3.1 How do I edit an unlocked batch?

As described in How do I use the batch pane?, you can edit batches that are either unlocked or locked to you. You cannot edit batches locked to another user.

To edit an unlocked batch, select it in the batch pane, then click its triangle to lock it for your use. You can now edit its batch information or select and edit one of its documents.

6.3.2 How do I delete a batch?

You can delete batches that are either unlocked or locked to you. Deleting a batch permanently removes all documents in the batch.

1. In the batch pane, select a batch. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple batches.

2. Click the Delete Batch button. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

6.4 Changing batch information

This section covers the following topics:

- How do I set or change a batch’s priority?

- How do I set or change a batch’s status?

- How do I add, edit, and delete batch notes?

6.4.1 How do I set or change a batch’s priority?

You can assign a priority number to a batch. The priority ranges from 0 to 10, where 10 is the highest. A batch may have been assigned a default priority by the client profile, but you can change it.

1. In the batch pane, select a batch.

Batch information is displayed in the right pane. The Priority, Status, and Batch Notes fields are editable if the batch is locked to you. (If the batch is unlocked, lock it by clicking its triangle so the locked batch icon displays and the Priority field becomes editable.)

2. In the Priority field, select a new priority number from 0 to 10.

3. Click Apply. The priority value displays in the batch pane list.

6.4.2 How do I set or change a batch’s status?

You can assign a status to a batch from the list of available statuses. A batch may have been assigned a default status by the client profile, but you can change it.

1. In the batch pane, select a batch.

Batch information is displayed in the right pane. The Priority, Status, and Batch Notes fields are editable if the batch is locked to you. (If the batch is unlocked, lock it by clicking its triangle so the locked batch icon displays and the Status field becomes editable.)

2. In the Status field, select a new status.

Note:

Contact your Capture workspace manager to add batch statuses.

3. Click Apply. The new status displays in the batch pane list.

6.4.3 How do I add, edit, and delete batch notes?

You can attach a note to a batch, as a reminder or to alert other Capture users who might work on the batch. For example, you might enter a note indicating that a page is missing from a specified document in the batch.

1. In the batch pane, select a batch.

Batch information is displayed in the right pane. The Priority, Status, and Batch Notes fields are editable if the batch is locked to you. (If the batch is unlocked, lock it by clicking its triangle so the locked batch icon displays and the Batch Notes field becomes editable.)

2. In the Batch Notes field, enter, modify, or delete text.

3. Click Apply. A note icon in the Note column of the batch pane list indicates an attached note.

6.5 Releasing batches

Multiple release processes can be defined for a client profile in the Capture workspace. When releasing a batch in the Capture client, you can choose the release process to be performed from the list of defined release processes. Defining multiple release processes for a client profile is useful when you want to release the batch for processing by different batch processors using the same client profile.

For example, after releasing a batch, it might undergo document conversion, bar code recognition processing, or as a last step, commit processing to a repository.

1. In the batch pane, select one or more batches. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple batches.

2. If there are one or more release processes defined for the client profile, click the drop-down list arrow on the right side of the Release button and select a release process from the drop-down list. Click the Release button.

A bar displays on the batch name and moves to the right to indicate release progress. During release, you can select other batches and documents to work on them.

3. Optionally click the Refresh Batch List button to view the new state of the batch. Once the release is complete, one of the following may happen:

- The batch disappears from the batch pane, such as after a successful commit.

- The batch's icon displays a processing indicator (as shown in Table 2-2), indicating that it is undergoing further processing.

- The batch's icon displays an error indicator (as shown in Table 2-2), indicating that one or more of its documents encountered an error.

A Troubleshooting

This appendix describes common problems that you might encounter when using the Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture client.

This appendix contains the following section:

- Handling batch errors

A.1 Handling batch errors

You may occasionally encounter errors as you work with batches and release them. You may be able to resolve some common errors based on the error explanation provided. In other cases, you may need to contact your Capture workspace manager and provide the batch name and error displayed. This section lists some error examples.

For information on configuring logging, see How do I set batch logging?.

Errors while working on batches

- If you perform a database lookup and no records are found, the client displays the message, "No results were returned by the Database Lookup".

- When trying to view a non-image document in an associated application, if there is an error attempting to open the document in the associated application, the client displays the error message: "Failed to open document in an associated application. There may be no application associated to this document type".

Errors after releasing batches

- If an error occurs for a batch after you release it, such as during a post-processing step, the batch may display again in your batch pane, locked to you. (Note that a post-process may have renamed the batch.) You can right-click the document error icon and choose Display Batch Errors from the menu to view the error details.

Figure A-1 Viewing Batch Errors

- If you released a batch without completing all required metadata fields in each document, an error occurs if Capture is set to commit the batch as a post-processing step. Typically, Capture commits all documents and removes them from the batch. However, documents that contain errors remain in the batch. To resolve the error, open the batch, complete all required metadata fields in all documents (an asterisk * is displayed to the left of their names), and release the batch again.

Figure A-2 Viewing Batch Processing Errors

A.1.1 How do I set batch logging?

Logging can be useful for tracking or monitoring batches. If a Capture workspace manager requests logging, follow these steps to activate logging or change its detail level.

1. Click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window and select Preferences. The Preferences window displays.

2. In the Logging Level field, select a new level.

By default, logging is set to Off. Other values include Severe, Warning, Info, Config, Fine, Finer, Finest, and All.

Log files are stored locally in the .oracle_capture\Log directory in your home directory. A log file is named as follows: WC{date} where date is in the format of MMddyyyy.

3. Click Save.

Settings relating to the selected scanner display.

5. Select scanner settings and click OK.
The scanner settings are associated with the client profile and saved on the local system associated with the current Windows users.

C.2 How do I split a document into two documents?

Note:
You can perform this task only for image documents.

1. Select the page at which you want to split the document into two documents.

2. From the document pane toolbar, click the Create New Document button. The selected page and subsequent pages of the original document are moved to a new document. The new document will appear directly below the original document.

C.3 How do I merge documents into a single document?

Note:
You can perform this task only for image documents.

1. Select the document to merge with its previous document.
If you select the first document in a batch, you are prompted to delete the document because it has no previous document.

2. Click the Remove/Delete Documents button.

3. When prompted, select Remove the separation option and click OK.
The pages of the selected document are appended to the previous document.

C.4 How do I move pages from one document to another?

Drag and drop the thumbnails of pages from image documents to move pages from one document to another document.

Note:

- Hold down the Ctrl key or Shift key to select multiple pages.

- If you drag the only remaining page in a document to another document, the document is automatically removed.

- You cannot move pages of non-image documents.

C.5 How do I reorder pages of a document?

To reorder a page within a document, drag and drop the page’s thumbnail to the new location. When you drag and drop a page to a new location, the selected page is moved before the target page.

Note:

- Hold down the Ctrl key or Shift key to select multiple pages.

- You cannot reorder pages of non-image documents.

C.6 How do I flip all pages in a batch if the pages were scanned upside down?

1. In the Document pane, press Ctrl+A to select the thumbnails of all the pages (applies to images only).

2. Click the Flip button to rotate all selected pages by 180 degrees. The page is saved as last rotated within the batch.
