Example 1: Page identification rules

A page identification rule identifies each incoming page by comparing the page image to the known page types and by using fingerprint recognition.

The PageID task profile includes a ruleset that is called PageID, which includes a rule that is called PageID.

The Sync DCO View with Ruleset View button shows which documents, pages, or fields are associated with the selected rule. For example, if you select the PageID rule and click Sync DCO View with Ruleset View, Datacap Studio expands the document hierarchy to show you the objects that are associated with the PageID rule.

In TravelDocs, the PageID rule is associated only with the page type Other. In this case, the rule runs whenever Datacap processes a page of type Other while it runs the PageID task profile. Datacap assigns the Other page type to all incoming pages as a default because all pages are initially unknown. Datacap runs this rule on all pages during page identification and, assuming the page matches one of the known types, assigns the correct type (for example, Rental_Agreement or Air_Ticket).
