Kofax Scripts - Default Form Type

Scripts default form type

Sometimes we get documents in a batch which just can’t be classified automatically in standard Kofax Capture. We still need to process them however, and they may need to be manually classified and have data assigned in Validation.

Rather than just force batches into Quality Control where classification fails – adding another manual step to your process – we can assign a ‘default’ or ‘unclassified’ Form Type to such documents.

This will allow them to be passed through into Validation if required for manual classification or data keying, or straight through to Export without having to be manually classified.

The method below shows how to assign a 'default' Form Type with some relatively straightforward scripts.

Assigning a Default Form Type

In the example given we will look at a basic batch class with either ‘Northwest’ or ‘Unclassified’, but the method shown will work for any number of Form Types.

You simply need to extend the logic of the samples given below to cover all the different Form Types you need.

Create a FormID Zone for Northwest.

Enter ‘NORTHWEST’ for the Search Text.

Create a FormID Zone for Unclassified (you will need to add a filler page of some description as a sample page).

Enter ‘UNCLASSIFIED’ for the Search Text.

Edit the Recognition Profile. Save As a custom profile – in this case called ‘ScriptClassification’.

Select Script, choose VB.NET as Scripting Language and Create.

Use the drop downs to select RecognitionPostProcessing event and add script as shown.

Save and Build the project. Test the FormID Zones on each sample page.
