Manual page identification and registration

You can use the AIndex web client to complete manual page identification and manual registration.

• You first set the document and page type by using the drop-down menu in the batch tree view pane.
• You then click Anchors at the end of the batch tree view to select the matching fingerprint and complete manual page registration.

When you register the page, Datacap displays a floating image of the anchor object of the page that you align with the actual anchor image on the current page. When you place the anchor object, Datacap computes the required page offsets that are used to calculate the positions of the data fields on the page.

Datacap can usually handle page identification and registration for you automatically, even when the offsets relative to the fingerprint are large (see Pattern Matching). Using manual page identification and registration might be useful to you in special situations. However, if you are using AIndex for manual page identification, you must run the manual page identification task after the CreateDocs task because AIndex requires a structured batch. You also need to confirm that each unidentified page is a separate document. These latter steps are discussed when you update the TravelDocs application to use AIndex.
