1-2 Using Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture

2
Getting Started with Capture
This chapter describes how to get started using the Oracle WebCenter Enterprise
Capture client. First the basics of Capture are introduced, including how Capture
works with batches, documents, attachments, and profiles. After starting the client
application, you learn how to navigate its panes. Lastly, you identify your Capture
role by learning the main ways users use the client to scan, import, index, and work
with document batches.
This chapter covers the following main topics:
• Understanding Capture basics
• Starting the Capture client
• Navigating the Capture client
• Capture client uses
• Setting preferences
2.1 Understanding Capture basics

This section describes what you need to know about Capture to start using it.
• About the Capture client
• About batches and documents
• About client profiles
• Which document types you can scan or import into Capture
• Understanding whether you can capture and index batches
• About processing and releasing batches
2.1.1 About the Capture client

The Capture client is Capture's user application for:
• Scanning and importing (capturing) documents
• Reviewing, editing, and indexing documents
• Releasing documents so that they can be further processed, checked into a content
repository, or attached to business application records
The Capture client is installed and launched as a native desktop application that does
not require a web browser.
Getting Started with Capture 2-1

Understanding Capture basics
2.1.2 About batches and documents

Batches and documents are the primary drivers of work in Capture.
• As a client user, you scan or import groups of pages in batches using a client
profile, which is defined by an administrator known as a Capture workspace
manager. See About client profiles.
• A batch contains one or more documents, which may be related (for example,
multiple documents for a customer) or unrelated (for example, documents divided
by separator sheets). A document may consist of scanned images or an electronic
file such as a Microsoft Word or a PDF file. See Which document types you can
scan or import into Capture.
• A document contains zero or more attachments. An attachment may consist of

images or an electronic file such as Microsoft Word or a PDF file.
• A batch can be locked or unlocked. A lock icon displays when a batch is locked by
you or another user. Releasing a batch removes the batch icon’s lock and
depending on the client profile settings, frees the batch for another user or a system
processor to work on. See About processing and releasing batches.
Figure 2-1 Batches and Documents
• If the client profile includes indexing, each document can be assigned metadata
(index) values. A customer document might be assigned metadata values such as a
customer ID and name. Documents of different types in a batch typically have
different sets of metadata fields available. A document profile identifies the set of
metadata fields to complete for a selected document.
2.1.3 About client profiles

A client profile is a group of settings you select to instruct Capture how to scan,
import, or index a batch's documents. A client profile controls such things as scanner
settings, how documents are created and separated in the batch, whether metadata
fields are available, and what happens next to batches after you release them.
2.1.4 Which document types you can scan or import into Capture
In Capture, a document consists of one of the following:
• One or more images obtained from a scanner or imported from a file.

Starting the Capture client
• A non-image, electronic file such as a Microsoft Word or a PDF file. When you
import non-image files, the client profile determines if they are retained in their
original format, converted to an image format, or prevented from being imported.
2.1.5 Understanding whether you can capture and index batches

The selected client profile determines whether you can use it to capture documents
only, capture and index documents, or index documents only. You can tell the client
profile's type by the toolbar buttons and panes that display when you select a
document in the batch pane:
• If no metadata pane displays, the client profile is capture-only. Capture-only

profiles do not include indexing.
• If metadata fields display in the lower left pane and capture buttons display in the
batch pane, the client profile is capture-and-index.
• If metadata fields display in the lower left pane but no capture buttons display in
the batch pane, the client profile is index-only. You can assign metadata values to
documents in index-only batches, but cannot append, insert, or replace pages.
2.1.6 About processing and releasing batches

When you are done working on a batch's documents, you release the batch, which
unlocks it from your use (if there are no release processes defined). If you selected an
available release process and released batches, the next action performed on the batch
depends on the selected release process. What happens next depends on the client
profile settings:
• The batch may be removed from the batch pane list and committed elsewhere such
as to a content repository, or it may be placed in a queue for further processing
such as document conversion or bar code recognition.
• The batch may remain in the list but unlocked (no lock icon displays). This allows
you or another user to lock the batch for use and make further changes.
2.2 Starting the Capture client

The first time you access the client, enter the web address in a browser, sign in using
your user ID and password, and click the Install Client button to install the client
application on your workstation. After the client application is installed on your
workstation, start the Capture client in one of the following ways:
• Enter a web address in a browser, sign in using your user ID and password, and
click the Launch Client button in the browser to launch the client application on
the workstation.
For example, you might enter a URL with the following format in a browser
address field:
http://hostname:16400/dc-client
• Use the Start menu shortcut or desktop shortcut to launch the client application on
the workstation.
• Begin scanning in another application, such as a business application.

Navigating the Capture client
For example, you might click a Scan button from a record in your business
application, to scan a document and attach it to the selected business record.
Note: When prompted, sign in to Capture by entering a user ID, a password,

and a resolvable host name or IP address of the Capture server that is being
accessed.
2.3 Navigating the Capture client

The Capture client provides a single window with three distinct work areas, or panes.
You perform actions on batches, documents, attachments, and pages in these panes:
• Batch pane
The batch pane in the upper left is fixed, while its other panes change, depending
on your selection in the batch pane's tree. See About the Batch pane.
When you select a batch in the batch pane, batch information displays in the right
pane to view or edit. For example, change the batch's status or priority, or include a
note as a reminder or for others to view. See About the Batch Information pane.
• Document pane
When you select a document or a document’s attachment in the batch pane, the
right pane displays the document pane, containing the batch's documents, their
thumbnail images, and document options in a top toolbar. See About the
Document pane.
• Metadata pane
The lower left pane, the metadata pane, displays metadata fields for indexing
documents. Note that the metadata pane displays only when indexing is
configured for the selected client profile. See About the Metadata pane.
Figure 2-2 Capture Client Window Displaying Batch, Document, and Metadata Panes

2.3.1 About the Batch pane

The batch pane always displays in the upper left pane, listing batches and their
documents in a hierarchical batch list tree. Use the batch pane to select batches,
documents, and attachments, and to perform actions on batches by clicking batch
toolbar buttons above the tree.
• To select a batch, click its name. You can edit its batch information in the right
pane. See About the Batch Information pane.

• To select a document, expand the batch by clicking the triangle before the batch
name, then select a document.
Figure 2-4 Document Selected in Batch Pane
• To select an attachment, expand a document by clicking the triangle before the

document, and then select an attachment.
• Right click a non-image document and select View document in associated

application from the context menu to view the document in an associated
application.
• Right click a document and select Duplicate from the context menu to duplicate
the document or selected pages of the document. See Duplicating one or more
pages of a document and Duplicating a document.
• Right click a document and select Find Document from the context menu to find a

2.3.3 About the Metadata pane

Use the metadata pane to index documents by completing their metadata values.
• The metadata pane displays when the selected client profile includes indexing and
a document is selected in either the batch or document pane.
• Values you enter in the metadata fields apply to all pages in the selected document.
To ensure standard input, metadata fields may use input masks or special
formatting, numeric or date fields, choice lists, or database lookups, as described in
Indexing documents. An asterisk indicates a required metadata field. See
Understanding indexing.
For example, you might enter an account number or look up a value from the
database, which might auto populate related metadata fields.
• Use the Document Profile field to identify the set of metadata fields to complete
for the selected document.

Capture client uses
For example, a batch of customer documents might contain correspondence and

customer agreement document profiles. While indexing, you would select a
Correspondence document profile each time you encounter a correspondence
document and complete its fields, then select the Customer Agreement document
profile each time you encounter an agreement document.
• To move between metadata fields using keyboard shortcuts, press Tab to move to
the next metadata field, and Shift-Tab to move to the previous metadata field.
• Use the Attachment Type field to change the attachment type for a selected
attachment. This field is not available for capture-only profiles.
2.3.4 About the Batch Information pane

Whenever you select a batch in the left batch pane, batch information displays in the
right pane. Use the batch information to add or edit notes about the batch, and change
its status or priority. You can also view the name of the user who created the batch
and when it was created and last modified. See Working with batches.
2.4 Capture client uses

This section introduces ways that production, knowledge, and business users use
Capture.
Capture users typically fall into one of the following categories:
• Production users launch Capture to process large volumes of batches and their
documents. See Scenario 1: Scanning and indexing documents and Scenario 2:
Scanning documents only for scanning, and Scenario 4: Indexing documents only
for indexing.
• Knowledge workers launch Capture to scan, import, and/or index documents

occasionally as part of their job. See Scenario 1: Scanning and indexing documents
and Scenario 3: Importing document files.
• Business application users launch Capture indirectly from their business

application to quickly scan and attach documents related to business application
records. See Scenario 5: Scanning or importing documents via business application.
2.4.1 Scenario 1: Scanning and indexing documents

This scenario applies to both a production user assigned to scan entire boxes of paper
document folders and a user who scans document batches on an occasional basis.
Regardless, the user must know the client profiles to use for different types of
document batches. For example, this user might select:
• A client profile called Separator Pages to scan batches that have separator pages
placed between documents.
• A client profile called Simplex or Duplex to scan batches that are composed of only
single or double-sided documents.
• A client profile called Prompt that prompts the user to specify how documents are
comprised.
Within the client, the user chooses a client profile configured for the type of batch to
scan and begins capturing a batch. The user reviews and indexes each document, then
unlocks or releases the batch. See Scanning documents for more information.

Setting preferences
2.4.2 Scenario 2: Scanning documents only

In this case, the user's task is to scan batches of documents without indexing them.
When scanning in Capture, a capture-only batch contains one document only, which
may be separated into multiple documents and indexed later. For example, these
batches may be later separated and indexed by users who index only (Scenario 4:
Indexing documents only) or through an automated process such as bar code
recognition or intelligent document recognition.
Within the client, the user chooses a client profile configured for capture only and
begins capturing a batch. The user reviews each document, then unlocks or releases
the batch. See Scanning documents for more information.
2.4.3 Scenario 3: Importing document files

This case involves creating batches by importing electronic files, either multiple image
files or non-image files such as Microsoft Word or PDF files.
Within the client, the user chooses a client profile configured for the type of batch to
import and begins capturing a batch by selecting files to import. The user reviews and
indexes each document (if configured), then unlocks or releases the batch. See
Importing documents for more information.
2.4.4 Scenario 4: Indexing documents only

In this case, the user's task is to assign metadata values to previously captured
documents. For example, batches might have been scanned by production users,
imported as electronic files, or imported as part of a bulk process.
Within the client, the user chooses an index-only client profile, then selects a batch to
index. Typically, the batch list is filtered to display only batches that need indexing. If
the documents are unorganized within the batch, all batch pages are assigned to the
first document. The user creates new documents if needed. After indexing each
document, the user unlocks or releases the batch. See Understanding indexing for
more information.
2.4.5 Scenario 5: Scanning or importing documents via business application

This scenario begins from a business application rather than the Capture client. After
completing customer entry fields, the user needs to scan or import a related document
and attach it to the selected customer record.
The user clicks a Scan or Import button from a business application record. The client
window displays and Capture immediately begins scanning or prompting for import,
using the settings in a preselected client profile. Once captured, the batch is displayed.
Often, metadata fields are automatically populated with values entered for the
business application record.
Typically, the user reviews and indexes the documents, then releases the batch. The
user returns to the business application record or another web page, and the document
becomes attached to the business application record. See Scanning or importing from a
business application for details.
2.5 Setting preferences

Use preferences to select scanning settings, accessibility features, logging options, and
other settings. To view and edit Capture client preferences:

• For accessibility-related preferences, see Client Accessibility Features.
• For scanning-related preferences, see Setting scanning preferences.
• For logging preferences, see Setting batch logging.
• For miscellaneous preferences, see Limiting the batch list.
3. Click Save.
2.5.1 Resizing the window panes

You can resize the left and right panes as well as the batch and metadata panes. To
resize, move the cursor over the pane separation. When the cursor changes to a
double-headed arrow, click and drag to resize.
After resizing, the new dimensions are automatically saved and displayed the next
time you open the client.

Scanning and importing documents
In the Capture client, document capture occurs in one of two ways: you scan paper
documents using a TWAIN-compliant device, or you import electronic files. This
chapter provides details on how to scan and import documents, based on client profile
settings.
• Understanding scanning
• Scanning documents
• Importing documents
3.1 Understanding scanning

This section covers the following topics:
• How Capture handles image and non-image documents
• How scanning works
• How documents are created during scanning
• How importing works
3.1.1 How Capture handles image and non-image documents

Capture accommodates image and non-image documents:
• When you scan documents, Capture creates multiple page image documents. In the
document pane, you can view and edit each page individually (for example, move
and rotate pages), and also verify where one document ends, and the next begins.
• When you import non-image documents, Capture uses the client profile setting,
taking one of the following paths:
– Converts the file to a multiple page image document, as if you had scanned it.
In the document pane, a thumbnail is displayed for each image, and you can
select and edit individual pages (for example, move and rotate pages).
– Imports the file and retains it in its native format. In the document pane, a
thumbnail is displayed for each non-image page, up to a maximum number set
in the client profile. You can index the document, but cannot edit its pages.
– Prevents the file from being imported, and displays an error message.
Scanning and importing documents 3-1

Understanding scanning
3.1.2 How scanning works

Suppose you are handed one or more large boxes and instructed to scan their contents.
You discover that each folder contains multiple customer documents, but they are
assembled in many different ways. Some contain one page documents, some double-
sided documents, and others contain related documents of varying numbers of pages.
How do you scan them in batches so that it is clear where one document ends and the
next one begins?
To know how to scan documents, you must know several key items:
• How the documents are structured within each batch for scanning (see How
documents are created during scanning)
• Which client profile to use, so that it can be matched to the structure

For production scanning, you are likely to use an ADF (automatic document feeder), a
scanner or multifunction device feature that automatically feeds in pages one at a time,
allowing you to scan multiple-page documents without manually replacing each page.
3.1.3 How documents are created during scanning

When scanning, the selected client profile determines how documents are created and
separated within a batch. Document separation and creation happen in one of these
ways:
• Capture prompts you to select a document creation option when you start
scanning.
You select simplex (one-sided), duplex (double-sided), or a variable number of
pages, which is typically for use with separator pages. For more information about
prompted scanning, see Creating documents if prompted when scanning.
• Capture automatically creates documents based on the selected client profile's

settings.
For example, when you scan with a client profile configured for duplex scanning,
Capture automatically creates a new document after scanning both sides of a page.
Typically, the Capture workspace manager specifies how each client profile you
use automatically creates documents.
For more information about scanning with separator sheets, see Scanning using
separator pages.
After a batch's documents have been created, you can adjust them as needed in the
document pane. For example, you can create new documents (Splitting a document
and creating a new document) and remove document separation (Removing a
document separation). You can also drag and drop pages between documents as
needed.
3.1.4 How importing works

You can import image documents, such as multiple page TIFF files, and non-image
documents, such as Microsoft Word files, if allowed by the client profile. See How
Capture handles image and non-image documents. Instead of selecting a scanner
source, select Import Source.
Each time you import, specify how to create documents in the batch if multiple files
are selected:

Scanning documents
• Create one document for all import files
• Create one document per import file
Note:
Multiple non-image files cannot be imported into one document. If you select
multiple non-image files for import and specify to create one document for all
import files, the Capture client displays an error message indicating that the
selection is invalid.
After specifying a document creation option, select files to import. You can optionally
rotate images upon import and delete source files after import.
3.2 Scanning documents

• Preparing documents for scanning
• Selecting a scanner to use for Capture scanning
• Selecting scanner settings
• Scanning documents
• Scanning or importing from a business application
• Scanning using separator pages
• Creating documents if prompted when scanning
• Setting scanning preferences
3.2.1 Preparing documents for scanning

To prepare documents for scanning:
1. Make sure the scanner is turned on.
For some scanners, you must ensure that the scanner is powered on before turning
on the computer.
2. Determine the client profile to use.
If needed, ask your Capture workspace manager which client profile to use for
batches to scan, based on their structure. You should know how the client profile
creates documents within batches, as described in How scanning works.
3. Organize documents into batches for scanning, inserting separator sheets between
documents if needed.
For example, organize single-sided documents into a batch for use with a simplex
client profile.
3.2.2 Selecting a scanner to use for Capture scanning

To scan, you must have a TWAIN-compliant scanner available to your system.

Scanning documents
1. Click the right side of the Capture Settings/Source button in the batch pane (Ctrl
+Alt+S).
When you click the triangle, one or more capture sources are listed. A check mark
displays next to the selected capture source, which may be a scanner or Import
Source.
2. If you have multiple scanner sources listed, select one to use. To import rather than
scan, select Import Source.
3.2.3 Selecting scanner settings

Follow these steps to select scanner settings, which are specific to the selected scanner.
Because capture settings are saved with the client profile, you can configure different
scanner settings for each client profile. Note that you can set additional scanner
options under Preferences, as described in Setting scanning preferences.
1. If needed, select the scanner source to which to apply settings.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S and choose a scanner, as described in Selecting a scanner to use

for Capture scanning.
2. Click the left side of the Capture Settings/Source button in the batch pane (Ctrl+S).
Settings relating to the selected scanner display.
Figure 3-1 Example Scanner Settings
3. Select scanner settings.

Scanning documents
See the documentation provided with the scanner for more information. Note that
settings relating to color and resolution may be disabled, depending on client
profile settings.
3.2.4 Scanning documents

Follow these steps to scan a batch. These instructions assume that you have prepared
the documents for scanning as described in Preparing documents for scanning.
1. Place the documents on the feeder tray of the scanner.
2. In the batch pane of the Capture client window, select a client profile.
3. If needed, select a different capture source by clicking the right side of the Capture
Settings/Source button and choosing an available scanner (Selecting a scanner to
use for Capture scanning).
4. Click the Capture button. If prompted, select a document creation option (Creating
documents if prompted when scanning).
Capture begins scanning. If you encounter scanning problems, first check that the
cables are properly connected and the scanner is powered on.
The batch is created in the batch pane list and locked to you. It displays in one of
two ways:
• The batch is selected in the batch pane and its batch information displays in the
right pane.
• The batch is open in the batch pane with its first document selected, while
options for editing and indexing documents display in the right pane and lower
left pane, respectively. To set this display as the default setting, click the drop-
down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window and select Preferences.
In the Preferences window, select the Auto Review/Index batch after scanning
field.
3.2.5 Scanning or importing from a business application

For background information, see Scenario 5: Scanning or importing documents via
business application. Note that when capturing from a business application, the client
profile is preselected and cannot be changed.
1. In a business application, click the button to capture documents. For example, click
a Scan or Import button on a business record screen.
The Capture client window displays. Depending on client profile settings, Capture
may immediately begin scanning using the specified scanner, or you may be
prompted to select files to import or begin scanning.
2. If importing, select one or more files to import.
After the scanned or imported batch is created, it displays in one of two ways:
• The batch is selected in the batch pane and its batch information displays in the
right pane.
• The batch is open in the batch pane with its first document selected, while
options for editing and indexing documents display in the right pane and lower
left pane, respectively. To set this display as the default setting, click the drop-

Scanning documents
down list arrow in the upper right corner of the window, select Preferences,
and select the Auto Review/Index batch after scanning field in the Preferences
window.
3. Review, edit, and index documents as needed. Metadata fields may already contain
values.
4. If needed, click the Capture button in the batch pane to capture additional batches.
Typically, only batches from your current Capture client session are listed in the
batch pane.
5. Release batches by selecting one or more batches in the batch pane (holding down
the Ctrl key), and clicking the Release button.
Depending on client settings, releasing batches may automatically sign you out of
the Capture client and return you to the line of business web application. If not,
click the drop-down list arrow in the upper right corner of the client window and
select Sign Out to exit Capture.
3.2.6 Creating documents if prompted when scanning

Depending on client profile settings, the Document Creation Options window may
display after you click Capture to begin scanning, prompting you to specify how to
create documents.
1. Specify the contents of each document in the batch. You can choose:
• One Page (Simplex): Select this option if all documents are single-sided.
• Two Pages (Duplex): Select this option if all documents are double-sided.
• Variable Number of Pages: Select this option if you are using separator sheets
to define documents (as described in Scanning using separator pages) or if
documents are neither all single-sided or all double-sided documents.
2. Click OK.
Capture scans and creates a batch based on the document creation option you
chose.
If you chose Variable Number of Pages but did not insert separator sheets,
Capture created a single document. Use the Create New Document button in the
document pane to create document separations in the batch (Splitting a document
and creating a new document).
3.2.7 Scanning using separator pages

Separator pages provide a useful way of identifying where one document ends and
the next one starts in a batch. To scan batches with documents divided by separator
pages:
1. Before scanning, insert blank sheets between documents.
2. In the batch pane, select a client profile configured for separator sheet scanning.
The profile must be set to either prompt you to choose a document creation option
or to create documents with a variable number of pages. If needed, ask your
Capture workspace manager about client profile use.

Scanning documents
3. Click the Capture button with a scanner source selected.
• If the Document Creation Options window displays, select Variable Number of

Pages. Select the Enable Separator Sheets field and enter a number in the Bytes
field below it. The Bytes field defines the difference between a blank separator
page and a page with a small amount of text. A blank page is detected if its file
size (in bytes) is below a threshold value. The recommended number is 1500,
which means Capture considers each page on which it finds fewer than 1500
bytes to be a blank page, and deletes it from the batch. If you encounter
problems with this setting, increase or decrease the number of bytes as required.
• If no prompt displays, Capture looks for blank pages while scanning and upon
detecting one, creates a new document and discards the blank page. A blank
page is detected if its file size (in bytes) is below a separator sheet threshold
value configured in the client profile.
4. View the new batch's documents. The blank separator sheets were discarded when
the batch was created.
3.2.8 Setting scanning preferences

In addition to scanner settings you configure using the Capture Settings/Source
button (see Selecting scanner settings), you can set additional scanning options under
Preferences settings:
Preferences. The Preferences window displays. See Setting preferences.
2. Optionally select the Prompt user to continue scanning into current batch field.
When selected, a message displays after Capture completes the initial scan that
asks if you want to continue scanning into the current batch. This option allows
you to pause to insert more paper into the automatic document feeder after it runs
out of paper, then scan the pages into the current batch. It is also useful when
scanning pages one at a time into a batch.
3. If needed, select the Prevent File Mode Transfer field.
File mode transfer, which instructs the TWAIN-compliant driver to write image
files to disk rather than transfer them by memory buffer, is the preferred approach,
as it significantly increases scanning performance. However, file transfer mode can
cause scanning issues with certain scanner drivers. If needed, select this field to
turn off file transfer mode.
4. Optionally select the Auto Review/Index batch after scanning field to view a batch
in the document pane immediately after completing scanning the batch.
5. In the Minimum number of bytes scanned before deleting a page field, optionally
specify how blank pages should be detected and deleted.
In this field, set the number of bytes below which Capture considers a page blank
and deletes it. If this value is 0, Capture uses the value configured in the client
profile for blank page detection.
6. Click Save.

Indexing documents
Metadata values allow you to classify documents, particularly for retrieving them later
from a content repository by searching for one or more of their metadata values.
Whether you are performing production indexing or indexing as part of scanning or
importing, the same methods apply. This chapter describes how you select a
document profile to match the type of document to index and the various ways you
may complete metadata fields, depending on client profile settings.
• Understanding document indexing
• Indexing documents
5.1 Understanding document indexing

• Understanding indexing
• Understanding database lookups
• Using input masks in metadata fields
• Using display formatting in metadata fields
• Understanding choice list metadata fields
5.1.1 Understanding indexing

Follow these guidelines for indexing in the Capture client:
• If the selected client profile is configured for indexing, metadata fields display in
the lower left pane when you select a document in the batch pane.
• All pages of a document share the same metadata values, so indexing one page of a
document indexes all its pages. In the document pane, documents in a batch are
visually divided by a light-colored bar. In the batch pane, documents are listed
under their batch.
• An asterisk (*) displays to the left of a metadata field name if it is required. A

document is fully indexed when all required metadata fields contain a value.
Documents do not need to be fully indexed to release the batch, but an error may
occur in a later batch processing step. See Handling batch errors.
• To ensure standard input, metadata fields may use input masks or input
formatting, choice lists, or database lookups, as described later in this section.
Indexing documents 5-1

Indexing documents
• To improve readability, you can adjust the font size of the metadata fields in the
Preferences window. See Setting scanning preferences.
5.1.2 Understanding database lookups

A database lookup contains connection and search information to connect to a
database and search for matching records associated with a metadata field value.
Depending on the configuration, a list of search results may display, and database
values may automatically populate other metadata fields when one database record is
found. For example, a database lookup might be defined on a customer name field
that then populates customer metadata fields such as customer Id and address. See
Indexing by looking up values from a database.
5.1.3 Using input masks in metadata fields

If a metadata field uses an input mask, or filter, it controls what you can enter into the
metadata field. For example, a mask might allow you to type numbers but not
alphabetic characters into the field, or might limit your entry to four characters. If you
type a character that does not conform to the mask, the system beeps and the
application does not accept it. For example, a metadata field named Invoice Number
might use an input mask that restricts entries to a 7-digit number.
5.1.4 Using display formatting in metadata fields

A metadata field may use a display format to ensure that entries display in a certain
format. When you move to another metadata field, Capture changes the data display,
if needed, to match the display format. For example, an entry in a date field might be
changed to display a standard date format. Note that the metadata value Capture
saves is not changed.
5.1.5 Understanding choice list metadata fields

A choice list field provides a list of values from which to choose. Click the triangle
next to the field to display and select from the choice list. (Depending on client profile
settings, a choice list may allow you to enter rather than select a value.)
Choice list fields can be dependent, where a selection in one choice list field (the
parent) determines the choices displayed in a dependent choice list field (the child).
5.2 Indexing documents

• Indexing a document
• Indexing by looking up values from a database
5.2.1 Indexing a document

To index a document:
1. Select a document to index.
Either select the document in the batch pane or select any of its thumbnail pages in
the document pane. The metadata pane displays in the lower left pane. Some
metadata fields may already contain autopopulated values.

Indexing documents
2. In the Document Profile field, select a document profile that matches the type of
document to index.
For example, if indexing a customer order document, you might select a document
profile with Customer Number, Customer Name, and Order metadata fields.
Note:
When changing the selected document profile, a message displays indicating

that any values in fields not in the new profile will be discarded. Click Yes to
continue.
3. Complete the required metadata fields. See Understanding document indexing. For
indexing keyboard shortcuts, see Table 2-3.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to index each document in a batch.
5.2.2 Indexing by looking up values from a database

To perform a database lookup:
1. In the metadata pane, place the cursor in a metadata field for which a database
lookup has been configured.
The Database Lookup button is active when you can perform a database search on
the selected metadata field.
2. Enter the value to match. (Numeric fields often require exact values.)
In certain cases, you may be able to enter only the first few characters of the value
to match, if allowed by the client profile. For example, you might enter New in a
metadata field called Company to search for records whose Company field name
starts with New. However, displaying lookup results can take a long time when
you enter partial values with many records to return.
3. Click the Database Lookup button.
The Database Lookup Results window is displayed if multiple records were found
or if the Capture workspace manager chose to display it. Otherwise, values
automatically fill one or more fields without displaying a list of results.
Indexing documents 5-3

4. If lookup results were displayed, select a matching record and click Select. (You
can also double-click a record to select it.)
Values from the database record are populated in the metadata fields.

Working with batches
A batch is a collection of scanned images or electronic document files (such as PDF or

Microsoft Office files) that can be organized into logical documents and stored in a
repository. Pages are scanned into batches where they can then be organized into
documents, indexed and released. After batches of documents are scanned or
imported, they are ready for review, indexing (if specified), editing, and release. This
chapter describes how to use batches: how to view, filter, and find them, lock them to
work on or release them, change their properties, or edit them.
• Understanding batches
• Sorting, filtering, and searching for batches
• Editing batches
• Changing batch information
• Releasing batches
6.1 Understanding batches

• How batches are named
• Understanding what happens when locking or releasing a batch
6.1.1 How batches are named

When batches are created, they are automatically named using the client profile's
prefix (for example, SCAN or IMPORT), followed by an internal sequence number.
6.1.2 Understanding what happens when locking or releasing a batch

• Batches are automatically locked to you when you create them by scanning or
importing, or when you open (expand) them. This allows you to work on batches
without another user attempting to access them. You can have many batches
locked to your workstation.
• If there are no release processes defined and you unlock batches, Capture sends their
documents and metadata to the Capture server and unlocks them.
• If you selected an available release process and released batches, the next action
performed on a batch depends on the selected release process.
Working with batches 6-1

Sorting, filtering, and searching for batches
During batch release, a progress bar moves to the right on the batch name to
indicate release progress. You can select and work on other batches while the batch
release continues in the background.
• After release, the next action performed on a batch depends on its client profile
settings.
– Batches may move to a post-processing step, such as bar code recognition,

document conversion, or committing to a content repository.
– Batches may become unlocked, allowing other users to lock and edit them. For
example, after scan operators create, review, and edit batches, they might
release them to index operators who select, index, and release them for post-
processing.
6.2 Sorting, filtering, and searching for batches

• Understanding which batches are listed in the batch pane
• Searching for batches or filtering the list
• Sorting the batch list
• Limiting the batch list
6.2.1 Understanding which batches are listed in the batch pane

The following guidelines describe which batches display in the batch pane:
• Batches locked to you are always listed, unless you have set a limit on the
maximum number to display under Preferences (see Limiting the batch list).
Batches locked to you display the following icon:
• Whether you see batches that are unlocked or locked to other users depends on
settings in the selected client profile. For example, the batch list may be limited to
batches with a certain prefix, in a certain state (such as error or processing), or with
a selected status or priority. (Note that you cannot open batches locked to another
user or process.)
• You can filter the batch list displayed using search options. A filter remains
during refreshes until you remove it. For example, you might filter the batch list to
display a limited set of batches, such as high priority batches or older batches only,
or search for batches containing one or more documents that encountered an error.
6.2.2 Searching for batches or filtering the list

You can search for batches by name, date, status, priority, and state. Note that the
filtered list always includes batches locked to you in addition to the search results.
To search for batches:
1. In the batch pane, click the Search button.

2. In the Batch Search Criteria window, specify how to search for batches using the
criteria listed in Table 6-1.
You can specify multiple search options. Keep in mind that all specified search
fields must match for a batch to be found, although only one value within a search
field needs to match. For example, if you select Urgent in the Status field and 8, 9,
and 10 in the Priority field, batches with an Urgent status AND a priority of 8, 9
OR 10 are found. On the other hand, batches with an Urgent status but a priority
of 0, or batches with no status and a priority of 8, 9, or 10, are not found.
Figure 6-1 Searching or Filtering Batches for Display
Table 6-1 Batch Search Criteria
Search Criteria Description
Batch Name Enter a batch name to search for. You can specify a partial name
followed by % to match one or more characters. For example, entering
Batch% would match batches named Batch15 and Batches214.
From Date/To Search for batches created within a date range by clicking the calendar
Date button adjacent to the date field and selecting a from date and an end
date.
Status Search for batches by their assigned status by selecting one or more
statuses. Batches assigned any selected status will match.
Priority Search for batches by their assigned priority by selecting one or more
priorities. Batches assigned any selected priorities will match.

Search Criteria Description
Batch State Search for batches by their system assigned state by selecting one or
more states. Batches assigned any selected state will match. Available
batch states include:
• Ready: Batches are not locked and no errors have been
encountered
• Locked: Batches are locked by any user
• Error: An error has been encountered in one or more documents in
the batch
• Processing: Batches are currently being processed by a Capture
processor or processor job
3. Click OK.
The filtered search results display in the batch pane. Remember that batches
locked to you always display in the batch pane, regardless of batch filter settings,
and that batch filtering remains when you refresh the batch list until removed.
To remove a search filter:
1. In the batch pane, click the Search button.
2. In the Batch Search Criteria window, click Clear Criteria, and then click OK.
The batch pane no longer filters the list by search criteria.
6.2.3 Sorting the batch list

You can sort the batch list to display batches to work on first. For example, you might
sort by priority to address batches assigned a high priority first.
To sort the batch list:
1. In the batch pane, click the column heading by which to sort. For example, click the
Priority heading to sort by priority. The column is sorted and a triangle displays
next to the column heading, indicating ascending or descending (inverted triangle)
order.
2. Click the heading again if needed to change the sort order.
Note that clicking the heading repeatedly switches between ascending order,
descending order, and the default sort order.
To sort by more than one column, hold down the Shift key and click another
column.
6.2.4 Limiting the batch list

To limit the number of batches listed in the batch pane:
2. In the Maximum Batches to Display field, set the maximum number of batches to
list in the batch pane.
Limiting the list can increase performance. The default is 100.

Editing batches
3. Click Save.
To see the new batch list setting used, refresh the batch list or select a client profile.
6.3 Editing batches

• Editing an unlocked batch
• Deleting a batch
6.3.1 Editing an unlocked batch

As described in About the Batch pane, you can edit batches that are either unlocked or
locked to you. You cannot edit batches locked to another user.
To edit an unlocked batch, select it in the batch pane, then click its triangle to lock it
for your use. You can now edit its batch information or select and edit one of its
documents.
6.3.2 Deleting a batch

You can delete batches that are either unlocked or locked to you. Deleting a batch
permanently removes all documents in the batch.
1. In the batch pane, select a batch. Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple batches.
2. Click the Delete Batch button. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
6.4 Changing batch information

• Setting or changing a batch's priority
• Setting or changing a batch's status
• Adding, editing, and deleting batch notes
6.4.1 Setting or changing a batch's priority

You can assign a priority number to a batch. The priority ranges from 0 to 10, where 10
is the highest. A batch may have been assigned a default priority by the client profile,
but you can change it.
1. In the batch pane, select a batch.
Batch information is displayed in the right pane. The Priority, Status, and Batch
Notes fields are editable if the batch is locked to you. (If the batch is unlocked, lock
it by clicking its triangle so the locked batch icon displays and the Priority field
becomes editable.)
2. In the Priority field, select a new priority number from 0 to 10.
3. Click Apply. The priority value displays in the batch pane list.

becomes editable.)
2. In the Status field, select a new status.
Note:
Contact your Capture workspace manager to add batch statuses.
3. Click Apply. The new status displays in the batch pane list.
6.4.3 Adding, editing, and deleting batch notes

You can attach a note to a batch, as a reminder or to alert other Capture users who
might work on the batch. For example, you might enter a note indicating that a page is
missing from a specified document in the batch.
it by clicking its triangle so the locked batch icon displays and the Batch Notes field
becomes editable.)
2. In the Batch Notes field, enter, modify, or delete text.
3. Click Apply. A note icon in the Note column of the batch pane list indicates an
attached note.
6.5 Releasing batches

Multiple release processes can be defined for a client profile in the Capture workspace.
When releasing a batch in the Capture client, you can choose the release process to be
performed from the list of defined release processes. Defining multiple release
processes for a client profile is useful when you want to release the batch for
processing by different batch processors using the same client profile.
For example, after releasing a batch, it might undergo document conversion, bar code
recognition processing, or as a last step, commit processing to a repository.
1. In the batch pane, select one or more batches. Hold down the Ctrl key to select
multiple batches.
2. If there are one or more release processes defined for the client profile, click the
drop-down list arrow on the right side of the Release button and select a release
process from the drop-down list. Click the Release button.

Releasing batches
A bar displays on the batch name and moves to the right to indicate release
progress. During release, you can select other batches and documents to work on
them.
3. Optionally click the Refresh Batch List button to view the new state of the batch.
Once the release is complete, one of the following may happen:
• The batch disappears from the batch pane, such as after a successful commit.
• The batch's icon displays a processing indicator (as shown in Table 2-2),
indicating that it is undergoing further processing.
• The batch's icon displays an error indicator (as shown in Table 2-2), indicating
that one or more of its documents encountered an error.

Troubleshooting
This appendix describes common problems that you might encounter when using the
Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture client.
This appendix contains the following sections:
• Handling batch errors
A.1 Handling batch errors

You may occasionally encounter errors as you work with batches and release them.
You may be able to resolve some common errors based on the error explanation
provided. In other cases, you may need to contact your Capture workspace manager
and provide the batch name and error displayed. This section lists some error
examples.
For information on configuring logging, see Setting batch logging.
Errors while working on batches
• If you perform a database lookup and no records are found, the client displays the
message, "No results were returned by the Database Lookup".
• When trying to view a non-image document in an associated application, if there is

an error attempting to open the document in the associated application, the client
displays the error message: "Failed to open document in an associated application.
There may be no application associated to this document type".
Errors after releasing batches
• If an error occurs for a batch after you release it, such as during a post-processing
step, the batch may display again in your batch pane, locked to you. (Note that a
post-process may have renamed the batch.) You can right-click the document error
icon and choose Display Batch Errors from the menu to view the error details.
Figure A-1 Viewing Batch Errors
Troubleshooting A-1
Handling batch errors
• If you released a batch without completing all required metadata fields in each
document, an error occurs if Capture is set to commit the batch as a post-
processing step. Typically, Capture commits all documents and removes them
from the batch. However, documents that contain errors remain in the batch. To
resolve the error, open the batch, complete all required metadata fields in all
documents (an asterisk * is displayed to the left of their names), and release the
batch again.
Figure A-2 Viewing Batch Processing Errors
A.1.1 Setting batch logging

Logging can be useful for tracking or monitoring batches. If a Capture workspace
manager requests logging, follow these steps to activate logging or change its detail
level.
2. In the Logging Level field, select a new level.
By default, logging is set to Off. Other values include Severe, Warning, Info,
Config, Fine, Finer, Finest, and All.
Log files are stored locally in the .oracle_capture\Log directory in your home
directory. A log file is named as follows: WC{date} where date is in the format of
MMddyyyy.
