Creation of the page data files

After you arrange individual pages into documents, you must create a runtime data file for each page. The runtime data file is an XML file that includes an element for each field on the page.

The DCO actions library includes the following action to create a runtime data file for the current page.

Library	Action	Description
DCO	CreateFields	Creates a page data (XML) file for the current page. The file includes an element for each field that is defined in the document hierarchy for the current page type. Each field has an identifier and three properties (TYPE, Position, and Status) with default values.

Important: You must run this action within a rule that runs at the page level.

The data file is empty initially, but the CreateFields action uses the document hierarchy structure to create a shell with an element for each data field. The shell gets populated later during recognition.

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="..\..\dco.xsl"?>
<P id="TM000001">                       <-- Page data file for first page in batch (type Rental_Agreement)
   <F id="Pickup_Date">                 <-- Pickup_Date field (no data)
      <V n="TYPE">Pickup_Date</V>
      <V n="Position">0,0,0,0</V>
      <V n="STATUS">0</V>
   </F>
   <F id="Pickup_Location">             <-- Pickup_Location field (no data)
      <V n="TYPE">Pickup_Location</V>
      <V n="Position">0,0,0,0</V>
      <V n="STATUS">0</V>
   </F>
   etc.
