General tab - Project Settings window
You can use the
General tab to configure commonly used features such as online learning, foldering, automatic
rotation, and the use of the
Thin Clients.
This tab has the following settings groups:
The following buttons are available at the bottom of this window:

Rotation
This group has the following settings:
- Enable automatic rotation for
-
If scanned images are inverted or sideways, you can configure your project to rotate the images automatically to their correct position. You can enable automatic rotation to be performed during one or both of the following:
-
OCR
Select this setting to rotate images automatically when OCR is performed on a document. (Default: Selected)
-
Layout Classifier
Select this setting to rotate images automatically when a document is processed using the Layout Classifier. (Default: Cleared)
For the best results, select the OCR setting if you are using content classification. Select the Layout Classifier setting if you are using layout classification. If you are using both layout and content classification, select both.
-
- Rotation during runtime
-
You can define how an image rotated during runtime is saved by selecting one of the following values:
-
Save image rotation on disk. (Default: Selected)
-
Save image rotation in XDocument.
The Save image rotation on disk is selected by default. However, when rotating a page of a PDF document the result is always stored within the XDocument because PDF documents are read-only.
-
Monitoring
This group has the following setting:
- Save field property change history
-
Select this setting so that any changes made to field properties during extraction are recorded and available in the Extraction Results and the XDoc Browser. (Default: Cleared)
Selecting this setting may increase processing times. As a result, it is recommended to select this setting if you are interested in the field results only.
Color Conversion to Black and White
This group has the following settings:
- Contrast sensitivity
-
Increases or decreases the ability to detect subtle differences in shading when a color image is converted to black and white. (Default: 3)
- Noise sensitivity
-
Increase or decrease the amount of noise correction applied to the black and white image when it is converted from a color image. (Default: 3)
Online Learning
This group has the following settings:
- Enable Online Learning
-
Select this setting to allow users and scripts to mark documents for online learning. (Default: Cleared)
- Path to online learning files
-
If Enable Online Learning is selected, this setting is available.
Type the path to the location where your training documents are stored, or select the path using the Browse button. The default path uses a child directory of the Tungsten Capture application data directory.
- Advanced
-
If Enable Online Learning is selected, this button is available.
Click to open the Advanced Online Learning Options window.
Thin Clients
This group has the following settings:
- Enable Thin Client Correction
-
Select this setting to allow users to correct batches in a Web browser. This setting is selected by default for all new projects.
- Enable Thin Client Validation
-
Select this setting to allow users to validate batches in a Web browser. This setting is selected by default for all new projects.
The best practice is to not use Thin Client Validation for a validation step that relies heavily on validation form script events. See the Tungsten Transformation Toolkit Scripting Help for more information on the script events available in Thin Client Validation.
- Use defined form layout
-
If the Enable Thin Client Validation setting is selected, this setting is available. (Default: Selected)
Select this setting to use the defined validation form layout for each class. When this setting is cleared, the default Thin Client Validation form layout is used which may result in unexpected behavior. Because of this, Tungsten Automation recommends that if you have a defined validation form, select this setting.
For projects that were created in a previous version of Tungsten Transformation Toolkit, you need to enable this setting if you want to use the validation form layout.
- Enable Thin Client Verification
-
Select this setting to allow users to verify batches in a Web browser. This setting is selected by default for all new projects.
- Convert images to black and white
-
When selected all color and grayscale images are converted to black and white before processing, to reduce the amount of memory required to load a batch. This is because color and grayscale images require more memory than black and white images.
- Use file system for thumbnails
-
When selected, the thumbnails are created by the Server before reaching Thin Client Validation or Thin Client Verification. Any batch editing changes made to the documents are also saved on the file system, reducing the time needed to load a document.
It is recommended to use this setting when documents have many pages that are either in color or are grayscale.
Reporting
This group has the following settings:
- Use group values
-
Select this setting to allow users to group reported statistical data by the document classification result or a field value. (Default: Cleared)
When the setting is enabled you can choose to group your reporting for one for the following:
-
Classification result. (Default: Selected)
For classes that have subclasses defined you can select the field on parent level and all subclasses inherit the value. However, you can select a different field for a subclass.
-
Field.
If you group by a field you have to define on class level in the class details which field is used for grouping.
-
Foldering
This group has the following settings:
- Enable folders
-
Foldering is used to group documents in a batch based on configured criteria. (Default: Cleared)
Scripting
This group has the following settings:
- Auto export scripts
-
When selected, all scripts are exported and saved in a folder called <ProjectName>_Scripts alongside the .fpr project file. (Default: Selected)
These files are overwritten each time you save your project.
