There are several differences between Validation and Thin Client Validation. The biggest difference is that Thin Client Validation runs in a Web browser while Validation requires software to be installed on a computer. Other differences include:

• This is a Web-based application so you may need to log on.

• There is no status bar at the bottom of the window. Instead, there is a status footer inside the Web browser window.

• Pressing F1 launches the Web browser Help and not the Thin Client Validation Help. Instead, you need to click the Help option inside the application or using a keyboard shortcut.

• Panes cannot be floated. Instead, unnecessary frames can be collapsed to maximize the space available to other frames.

• Opening batches automatically is done by enabling an option on the Open Batch window.

• You cannot customize the toolbar, or rearrange the order of the toolbar.

• You can use the keyboard to process batches, but the keyboard shortcuts in Thin Client Validation are different because they use a modal system where Ctrl activates the keyboard shortcut mode. Once in the keyboard shortcut mode, press any of the relevant keyboard shortcut combinations to perform the needed action.

• Thin Client Validation does not have the Confirm Document toolbar option. All documents are automatically confirmed when modified during Batch Editing.

• You cannot toggle automatic focus on or off.

• There is no InPlace Editor.

• You cannot double-click a word in the image to validate a field. However, clicking on the image still adds the text to the validation form field.

• Script events that are based on focus, selection, and changes in the validation form, such as hiding a button or tab or setting the zoom value for the Document Viewer, are now supported. In most cases the Enable scripted layout changes option needs to be selected in the project settings. For more details refer to the Thin Client Validation or Scripting Help for further information.

• Tables sums are not supported.

• Auto-foldering is not supported.

• You cannot select more than one document or folder in the Batch Content pane.

• You cannot create a folder by right-clicking on a document. Instead, you must right-click a folder or the root node of the batch.

• The Instant Search feature for database lookups is not supported.

• Keyboard shortcuts for custom buttons are not supported.

• Copy and Paste using the clipboard are not supported when editing a batch.
