Use the Imprint actions to imprint text over an image, or for blackout or whiteout redactions. - Intellocate actions
Use the Intellocate actions to update the existing field position information in the document hierarchy (setup DCO) or to add position information for a new fingerprint. - Invoice actions
Use the Invoice actions to process invoices by using the Datacap Accounts Payable application. - IOverlay actions
Use the IOverlay actions to combine the current page image with a background image. You can use this action to reapply a form background that dropped out during scanning. - Locate actions
Use the Locate actions in combination with full text recognition to locate words or regular expressions on the page. And to move around the page by line or word. - Lookup actions
Use the Lookup actions to validate field values by using database lookups and populate fields with lookup results. - MC_Identify
Use the MC_Identify actions to identify claim forms in a batch. - MC_Validation
Use the MC_Validation actions to validate medical claim form information. - mvscan actions
Use mvscan actions in place of the vscan actions to create batches from files that are stored on your local disk. The mvscan actions can handle large numbers of files that are stored in the input folder. - Maintenance Manager actions
The Maintenance Manager actions are divided into setup, batch processing, logging, and reporting categories. - OCR_J actions
The OCR_J actions use the Rosetta Stone Japanese OCR engine to perform OCR for Japanese machine print and Japanese handwriting. - OCR_A actions
Use the OCR_A actions to do text recognition by using the FineReader OCR engine. - OCR_N actions
Use the OCR_N actions to do recognition by using the NovoDynamics engine. The OCR_N actions can run recognition on a full page or on all of the field zones that are defined for the current page. - OCR_SR actions
Use the OCR_SR actions to do recognition and image rotation by using the updated Nuance OmniPage OCR engine. You can run recognition actions on field zones and pages. The results can be processed by actions in other libraries and ultimately displayed to the user for verification. The results can also be written out to files in several possible file formats. - OpenTextFaxServer actions
Use the OpenTextFaxServer actions to import faxes from an OpenTextFaxServer. - PatternMatch actions
Use the PatternMatch actions for pattern-based page identification and for page registration (alignment). Page registration is important when you are working with OMR check boxes. - Picture actions

Use the POLR action matches line items from your invoice image to the corresponding purchase order. - Recog_Shared actions
Use the Recog_Shared actions to do various fingerprint and recognition-related functions. - rrunner actions
Use the rrunner actions to do miscellaneous utility functions. - SharedRecognitionTools actions
Use the actions in this library after you perform OCR. For example, you might perform OCR with actions from the OCR_A or OCR_SR libraries and then use the actions in this library. Actions that can produce the layout XML include OCR_SR.Recognize and OCR_A.Recognize, both of which can process color images and PDF files. To use the Locate actions and perform click ‘n’ key during verification, use the action CreateCcoFromLayout to create a CCO file for the page after producing the layout XML file. - SignatureValidation actions
Use the Signature Validation actions to detect and validate signatures on a document or zone. - SPExport actions
Use the SPExport actions to upload documents to a Microsoft SharePoint library. - Split actions
Use the Split action to split a batch into smaller batches so each can be processed separately. - Statistics actions
These statistics actions are used by the Profile Statistics and Export Statistics rulesets to save information about field recognition accuracy and page classification accuracy. - TifMerge actions
Use the TifMerge actions to combine individual TIFF images into a multi-page TIFF file. This action is typically run at the end of the workflow so that you can upload or release the batch images as a single file. - TM524 actions
The TM524 actions are for compatibility with older versions of Datacap and are no longer used - Validations actions
Use the Validations actions to check and modify the content and format of the current field value. - Vote actions
Use the Vote action when you do multi-pass data entry to check whether the first and second passes match. - Vscan actions
Use the Vscan actions to create a batch by using existing image files. - Web Services actions
This library of actions facilitates communication with external web services. You can use these actions to retrieve formatted responses or image files. The actions can handle both XML and JSON formatted responses, with XML as the default choice. You will need to know the web service's endpoint, any applicable parameters, and the response type before using these actions. - Zones actions
Use the Zones actions to work with the zones that define the position of each field on the page.
