The Database Locator matches the document with one or more records in a fuzzy database that are returned as alternatives.

If the data you want to use is in a relational database, you must import that data into a fuzzy database before you can use it in a database locator.

For example, use this locator to identify the sender of an invoice by using a supplier database. All that is required is enough recognition information to identify one or more possible records that are returned as alternatives.

You can manage a Database Locator with the following topics.

• Add an exclusion database

  Important The settings for this locator do not apply to the exclusion database and in order for a search result to be excluded, the alternative must have at least an 80% confidence.

• Set the group index for database fields

• Set the importance of a database field

• Set the distance for database fields

• Ensure a database field does not replace a recognition value

• Set the distance for a group of database fields

• Add a database search mask

• Delete a database search mask

To configure a Database Locator, add it to the Project Tree for the selected class. Open a document set that contains one or more documents for this class before modifying the locator properties. This locator can then be configured by opening its properties.

The Database Locator Properties window contains the following tabs:

• General tab

• Fields tab

• Search Masks tab

• Regions tab

• Test Results tab
