Identification Conditions

In the Identification Condition dialog box, you can define the conditions that must be met for a First Page Identification, Last Page Identification, and Conditional process to succeed. The identification consists of a logic statement or series of statements that must describe a page for it to be identified as the first or last page of that document class.

Note: To use conditions from more than one process, use Token Identification as described in First Page Identification and Efficiency.

To create or modify an identification condition

Do some of the following until you have created a valid statement that suits your purpose:

• In the sentence Identify the page if any of these conditions are true, you can select the word any to change it to all, or the word true to change it to false.
• Next to the number 1, if you select the first phrase, you can choose a token available in that process, such as the token representing the information in a barcode or an OmniPage Zone OCR zone.
• By selecting the second phrase, you can choose from a menu of phrases relevant to that process, such as "equals, does not equal, is greater than, starts with," and so on.
• Depending on which process you are configuring, the last part of the statement may consist of a selection of values such as "equals, does not equal, is greater than, starts with," etc., or a blank where you can specify a value or add a token.

The examples below display zones in parentheses that have been renamed to reflect the information being extracted. Renaming zones can help you keep track of what information is being extracted from which zone. For example, renaming "Zone 1" to "Social Security Number" clearly indicates that the social security number is being extracted from that zone.

Example using Optical Mark Recognition

Quinn & Harte Legal Associates wants to process contracts according to whether or not they have been signed. They configure an OMR process to determine whether there is anything inside the signature box on the contract forms, and assign the documents to document classes accordingly.

Identify the page if any of these conditions are true:

• (Signature Box) is marked.

• Select Add condition to add another line to the identification condition.

Example using OmniPage Zone OCR

Caleb and Associates processes multi-page invoices and purchase orders daily. The pages of each invoice have the word "INVOICE" in the top left of every page and each page is numbered. Because "INVOICE" is at the top of every page of an invoice, it alone, cannot identify the first page of an invoice. It needs to be combined with another condition that looks for a page "1" on the bottom left of the page. If both conditions are met (has "INVOICE" at the top and has "1" at the bottom), it is the first page of a new invoice.

Identify the page if all these conditions are true:

• (Page Number) equals 1.
• (Invoice) equals to Invoice.

• Select Add group to add a subgroup of conditions. To create additional conditions or groups within the subgroup, right-click and select Add child condition or Add child group.

Example using OmniPage Zone OCR

Gray University developed a new application form for new applicants. Their old application forms are still in production, so they now have two forms. Both form types have the word "Application" at the top, but the page numbers have moved from the bottom left of the page to the bottom right of the page. Therefore, in order for a document to be considered the first page of an application, it must have the word "Application" at the top and a number "1" either in the bottom left or bottom right corner.

Identify the page if all these conditions are true:

• (Application) equals Application.

If any of these conditions are true:

• (Page Number Left) equals 1.
• (Page Number Right) equals 1.

You can also view and modify the format of the tokens used.

• Select Show token format to display the format of the tokens instead of their names. Select Edit formatto open the Token Editor and edit the token format.
• Select Show token type to display the type of token it is. To change the token type, click Change type.
