LAB 2 OVERVIEW
The purpose of this lab is to provide an introduction into Image Processing filters and how to pass values from
other modules into the Captiva Desktop module.
The lab will start with an introduction into the image processing filters before making the changes to the Capture
Flow in Capture Flow Designer.
This lab follows on from the first lab which must have been completed before you start with this one.
We will first create a new Image Processing Filter to read the barcode.
With Captiva 7, Image processing filters can be shared easily between different Capture Flows.
Select New
Type Barcode and press save
To see the results, press the ! button next to the new Detect barcodes filter:
Press the Save icon and select Save.
At the moment, we don’t have a Barcode index field so we must create one.
button to add a new field Text Box field and set it to Read Only and change the Label to Barcode.
Use the
You must now upload the New Image Processing Filter and changes to the Document Type to the server so that
they can be used by the system and the Filter becomes available in the Capture Flow.
We must now apply the changes to the Capture Flow. Here we will be adding an Image Processing Step to the flow
and then passing the values from that step into the Captiva Desktop module
From the palette on the left select the Image Processor Step
We will set the document type so that the user does not need to select it each time. We will then pass the barcode
and the input image
Desktop:1.UimDocumentType
"FinancialQuestionnaire"
This will set the document type in Desktop to be the questionnaire type.
This will instruct the CaptivaDesktop module that values will be passed into it.
Assign to
This will pass the value into the module. The $Runtime option must be used as the new object model does not
require a module value of each value being used.
Before we configure that process settings, you must make sure that the correct process has been selected in the
process drop down at the top of the window.
We will be changing the ScanPlus module so that a batch name is automatically created and the batch is
automatically separated into single page documents.
Here, we will set up the module so that we don't have to enter a batch name each time
Questionnaires_@(Index)_@(Now)
This will create a batch Called Questionnaires followed by an incremental number, followed by the current date
and time.
Press OK.
There is currently a bug in this version of the software. To save the changes to the process navigate to: C:\Users\
Administrator\Documents\Captiva 7.0\Default\GlobalData\XPP and delete the FinancialQuestionnaires-dir
directory
Now that we have configured the changes we will test them by running a batch through the system.
Load the ScanPlus module, login and create a new batch as before.
You will now see that the Batch Name is greyed out and has been filled in with a value.
Press Create
Press the ScanPages button and the two documents will be automatically imported
Now, the documents will be sent through the image processor modules where the barcode will be read.

LAB 2 SUMMARY
This lab has shown how to create and load a simple Image filter and then use the results from that filter and pass
them into a document’s indexing data.
The next lab will focus on creating simple export profiles using the new Standard Export module.
