Sample Pages

Document Classes
The Document Classes section in the right pane displays a list of document classes linked to the selected session. Click the name of a column to sort by that column.
Add document class
In Quick Fields 10 and later, sessions and document classes exist independently of each other on the Quick Fields Server but can be linked together. This allows sessions and document classes to be more modular with less duplication. For example, if you are scanning large batches of multiple types of documents, you can link the document classes to a session for identification purposes. If you are scanning one type of document, you can use that one document class to identify those scanned documents and do not need to link to a session for identification. In other cases, you may find it useful to link a single document class to multiple sessions. When that document class is updated, it will be updated across the sessions it's linked to, instead of duplicating document classes across sessions.
- To link document classes to the selected session, click Add document class and start typing the name of the document class you want to link. Select the desired document class from the list that appears and click Create links.
- To unlink a document class, select it from the list and click Remove. Confirm that you want to remove the link between the document class and the session by clicking Remove links in the dialog box. The document class will not be removed from other sessions it's a part of, nor will it be removed from the Quick Fields Server.
Prioritize
The order in which document classes run can affect the speed of document identification. For example, if the majority of documents processed are employment applications, place the "Employment Applications" document class first so they are identified up front. Otherwise, all employment applications will be passed through other document class identification stages uselessly.
- Click the Prioritize button to open the Prioritize Document Classes dialog box.
- Drag and drop the document classes to reorder them appropriately and click Save.
Note: The document classes will be listed by priority by default.
