Can someone point me in the direction of a web video for barcodes. i am having a hard time understanding how these actually work in QF.
If you have the Document Clasification add-on, then you can set up multiple classes within your QF session and define the first page of the session as having a barcode with a particular value. Then in that class, you can define where on the page to find the First and Last Name text.
Without Document Classification, you can still do it, but it will have to be run through several QF sessions. First, you create a QF session to read the document type barcode and sort/store all the types in a folder for their type. Then you create a QF session for type 1 and define where to find the name information on that type. Then the same for each of the other types.
Barcode works just like a super accurate ZoneOCR if you are familiar with that process. What specifically do you have questions about?
I have a customer who is trying to be very granular with a "doc type"(8 in total) bar code. They are using bar codes to backfile different doc types but at the same time these doc types are not specifically for one person and it is not calling to a database.
Juan,
It might be too simple of an answer for you but any barcode is just an encoded representation of an alpha-numeric value. QF will read that barcode and 'interpret' it to return the encoded alpha-numeric value.
In your application as long as any one of the 8 barcodes are consistently applied to a document type then QF will correctly interpret that barcode and return the value. (Does not matter who applies the barcode label, only that the encoded values are consistent among them)
My guess is that you will store that returned value in a template metadata field on the document and then use workflow to manipulate/route the document based on the value in that metadata field.
Does that answer your question?
I am sorry that i was clear on my previous post. On my application there is a "first name" "last name" and "doc type" field. I need to be able to pull the first and last name off the document based on just the "doc type". i don't know if bar codes can do this.
thank you. that answer pointed me in the right direction.
