Kofax Capture Values

Kofax Capture supports a set of macros that produce results based on the current Kofax Capture environment. For example, the Kofax Capture Value "{Batch class}" produces the name of the batch class for the current batch.

The following Kofax Capture values are supported.

Value

Description

{Batch Class Name}

Name of the associated batch class.

{Batch Creation Date}

The date when the current batch was created.

{Batch Creation Time}

The time the current batch was created.

{Batch Creator's Station ID}

Kofax Capture Station ID of the computer where the batch was created.

{Batch Description}

The description of the current batch.

{Batch ID}

A unique, sequential number associated with the batch. It is assigned by Kofax Capture when a batch is created.

{Batch Name}

Name of the current batch.

{Current Date}

Current system date.

{Current Time}

Current system time.

{Document Class Name}

Name of the associated document class.

{Document Count}

Number of documents in the batch.

{Document Form Name}

Name of the associated form type.

{Document GUID}

A type of document ID that is unique across the central site and all remote sites that comprise an Kofax Capture installation. This Kofax Capture value is the concatenation of the Batch GUID and the document ID number. For example, a Batch GUID of {D3C58EE2-5627-443b-BBFA-EE7A5790482A} and a document ID of 123 will yield {D3C58EE2-5627-443b-BBFA-EE7A5790482A}123 as the document GUID.

{Document ID}

A unique, sequential number associated with the document. This ID is assigned by Kofax Capture.

Kofax Capture Values for First Page Endorsing Information

The following values are derived from the endorsing information for the first page of the current document (when endorsing has been performed at scan time). These values may be used in index fields and in export values. Note that there is currently no way to retrieve endorser information for pages other than the first.

Value

Description

{First Page Endorsing String}

The endorsing string (prefix plus counter). Not used by Kodak scanners, except for models 1500, 2500, and 3500.

{First Page Image Address}

The image address. Used only by Kodak scanners that support image address.

{First Page Original File Name}

The original file name and extension of the first page of the document. The extension of image files is ".tif" (unless the document is an eDocument or JPEG). Note that because the final extension of image files can be changed at export time, this name may not match the exact name of the exported image. If the first page image file was not imported and the original file name has not been set via some other means, this value returns an empty string.

{First Page Roll Number}

Kofax Capture Station ID of the computer where the batch was created.

The roll number for the film being scanned. Used only by Kodak scanners that support microfiche scanning.

In addition, a special value type can be used to produce the value of a batch field. The sequence to enter this is an opening brace character "{" followed by the dollar sign "$" character, followed by the batch field name, followed by the closing brace "}" character. For example, the value "{$Text1}" would produce the runtime value of the batch field "Text1." Batch field values may be utilized in endorser strings, index fields, and export fields.

{Index Operator's Station ID}

Kofax Capture Station ID of the computer used to validate the batch.

The Kofax Capture Value {Index Operator's Station ID} has been deprecated, and replaced by {Validation Operator's Station ID}. It is strongly recommended that you use {Validation Operator's Station ID} instead.

{Operator Description}

The description, if any, of the logged-in Kofax Capture user. The description captured will depend on the module where the Kofax Capture Value is processed: Batch Manager, Scan, Validation, or Export.

If the User Profiles feature is not enabled, the returned value is NULL.

{Operator Name}

The user name associated with the user profile, if any, of the logged-in Kofax Capture user. The user name captured will depend on the module where the Kofax Capture Value is processed: Batch Manager, Scan, Validation, or Export.

If the Kofax Capture User Profiles feature is not enabled, the logged in Windows user ID, if applicable, will be used. If there is no logged in Windows user ID, the returned value is "unknown."

{Operator User ID}

The user ID of the logged-in Kofax Capture user. Since different Kofax Capture users may process the same batch, the user ID captured will depend on the module where the Kofax Capture Value is processed: Batch Manager, Scan, Validation, or Export.

If the Kofax Capture User Profiles feature is not enabled, the logged-in Windows user ID, if applicable, will be used. If there is no logged-in Windows user ID, the returned value is "unknown."

{Remote Validation User ID}

The user ID of the remote validation operator who processed the document.

{Repository Document ID}

This is a specific value that can be read/written by export connectors to store and retrieve the document ID used by the first invoked export connector. This Kofax Capture Value directly mirrors the value stored in the RepositoryDocumentID (ReleaseData Object). Notice that when you are passing the RepositoryDocumentID to a different export connector, the export connector must exist within the same document class using multiple export. In addition, the export connector that is passing the RepositoryDocumentID information must be placed first in the list on the Export Connector window. Only the first export connector that sets the RepositoryDocumentID value can use the document ID. Subsequent export connectors can only read this value.

If no value has been stored into RepositoryDocumentID, then this Kofax Capture Value resolves to an empty string.

{Scan Operator's Station ID}

Kofax Capture Station ID of the computer used to scan the batch.

{Scan Operator's User ID}

User ID of the Kofax Capture user who scanned the batch.

{Site ID}

Kofax Capture Site ID, which is the name associated with the Kofax Capture installation.

{Station ID}

Kofax Capture Station ID, which is the name associated with the export workstation.

{User Name}

Windows user name.

{Validation Operator's Station ID}

Kofax Capture Station ID of the computer used to validate the batch.
