Additional options for auto-populated data are configured here. Users can link specific regular expressions to record types, which is key in processing different forms and grants extensive flexibility in data extraction.
The first choice is to populate index fields with "Entire Value", "Matching Word Only", or "Matching Word Only (Custom Format)".
Use regular expressions to extract and format data from captured images to populate index fields. After clicking the cog icon next to a Match Expression in the list, you can assign the expression to all classification forms or select the classification forms that should use the selected expression. You can filter items by record type, classification form, or being selected or unselected.
The Index Value column displays the index value that was entered when the regular expression was created.

Here, users can enter a Regex value, type in what to look for and have PSIcapture generate the Regex, or select from a default list of common Regex values. Additionally, users can include an index value to populate an index field when the expression is matched. |

Selecting Populate index field with the specified Index Value for matching expressions enables the user to populate an index field based on the data input in the Regular Expressions editor on the Index Value text field. If the Regular Expression and/or Index Value is left blank, then the matched word fills that index field. If this option is not selected, the matching word fills that index field.
This option applies to both "Matching Word Only" and "Matching Word Only (Custom Format)".
For Custom format, enter an expression for the whole capture, a specific group, or another option. Click Help to see the possible options. An example expression is "(?<Group1>[0-9]+)".
Use the check boxes in Sources to process to select where match expressions are used to extract index data containing matching words.
