Question

Quickfields multiple barcode pages per scan

asked on May 9, 2017

Hello,

 

The closest thing to what we are looking for is this : http://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/118947/I-would-like-to-extract-the-value-from-barcode-and-need-to-remove-the-page-which-contains-the-barcode#119258

 

We have a packet where the 1st page is a sheet with 2 barcodes on it. We are using this as our first page identifier. Next we have multiple barcode sheets within the document (They are used to separate document types)

 

I am not entirely sure how to set this up properly within quickfields as we want to take our 1st page identifier (This contains the company name and the client name) and assign that to each document type as it finds them in the packet.

 

Ex. Page 1 = Company and Client Barcode sheet. Page 2 contains first document type barcode sheet. Page 3 and Page 4 are the actual scanned pages. Page 5 contains a new document type sheet.

 

Is this possible? Sorry if the explanation is a bit weird, but I can dive further if needed.

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes, this is possible. You can use Token Collector and Token Retriever to pass values between document classes. See the help file for more information.

This one got me really thinking.  Originally, I was thinking that it would take 2 document classes, but with a bit of trial and error, I was able to do it in 1 class, but I end up with the first page creating a 0 (or 1 if I don't remove barcode sheets) page document and since it doesn't have a Doc type, I assigned it "Cover" but the Doc type could be whatever you want.  Below is how I solved it:

 

The 2 Barcode regions

 

The first page condition - if Barcode-Company is not empty

The 2 Token Retrievers - Leave "Token to retrieve" blank until after the Token Collectors are created

 

Create blank (empty) tokens

Conditional if "Barcode-Location is not empty" - Assign Name & Location using Barcode values and Doc type as "Cover"

 

Conditional if "Barcode-Location is empty" - Assign Name & Location using Token Retrievers and Doc type as Barcode-Company

 

The 2 Token Collectors - Store Assign Token "Company Name" and "Company Location"

 

Last step to remove barcode sheets - Remove Page 1
