Configuring bar code based classification

Using Datacap Studio or FastDoc, you can associate a specific bar code type and value to a page type for Datacap Mobile to automatically read the bar code and assign the matching page type at snap or import time. When you open a claim with your auto-insurance company, they assign a unique claim number to your claim and reference it in a bar code on their claim form every time they exchange correspondence with you, such as when requesting additional supporting documents from you. This is to help them sort out the returning mail and automatically route it to your claim agent. To support that case in your Datacap application, you need to associate a regular expression matching the numbering pattern of the claim to the claim form page type (for instance). Datacap Mobile then reads the barcode value, executes the regular expression against it, and if it finds a match automatically assigns the claim form page type to the image at snap time.

To configure bar code classification, complete the following steps:

1. Open Datacap Studio and then log in to your application.
2. Allow Global Rules to load.
3. Right-click Identify Pages and choose Install in application.
4. Scroll down to Identify Pages. Right-click Identify Pages and choose Settings. The bar code configuration displays.
5. Expand Barcode Recognition.
6. Select Types and the bar code type.
7. Select Orientation and the type of orientation.
8. Check the Regular Expressions check box.
9. In Mappings, enter a regular expression in the Barcode Value field. For example, to identify all claims with a number looking like "CL-4326543", with "CL-" always fixed, followed by a number, enter a pattern of the form "CL-\d*", which matches a case sensitive string starting with "CL-" followed by any number of digits. If you want to match a pattern of exactly 7 digits after "CL-", you can use "CL-\d{7}".
10. Select Page Type.
11. Click Save.
