Creating fingerprint classes

By using classes, you can categorize fingerprints within your application.

About this task

The default framework includes two classes:
<Global>
This class includes the generic 555 fingerprint with page type Other. The generic fingerprint is useful because it enables application development without page fingerprints.
<New>
When you use the FindFingerprint action during page identification, you can create fingerprints automatically for unrecognized pages. If you call FindFingerprint with the parameter True and Datacap does not find a matching fingerprint, Datacap adds the runtime fingerprint to the New class.

Here, you create a class for each document type: Car_Rental, Hotel, and Flight. Categorization by document type is not required but provides a useful way to organize many fingerprints.

Procedure

To create the fingerprint classes:

  1. On the Datacap Studio Zones tab, in the Fingerprints pane, click Add new item and select Add fingerprint class.
  2. Enter Car_Rental and click OK.
  3. Repeat for Flight and Hotel.
