Delete custom subfields for an A2iA Zone Locator

The A2iA Zone Locator is now deprecated and no longer supported. However, if you have used an A2iA Zone Locator in a previous release, it is possible to continue to use these locators at your own risk. The A2iA Zone Locator and the Check and Cursive Recognition engine remain for reference purposes only and are not meant for use in production.

Alternatively, you can migrate these locators to a supported locator method. To use or migrate an A2iA Zone Locator it is necessary to install the Check and Cursive Recognition Add-On.

See the Kofax Transformation Modules Installation Guide for more information on installing the Check and Cursive Recognition Add-On.

When you migrate an A2iA Zone Locator, the following behavior occurs:

  1. If an A2iA Zone Locator is configured to use the CheckReader functionality, then it is migrated to a Check Locator.

  2. If an A2iA Zone Locator is configured to use the FieldReader functionality, it is migrated to an Advanced Zone Locator that uses the FormXtra recognition engine . If a single A2iA Zone Locator has multiple zones then multiple FormXtra zone profiles are created, one for each zone. This enables you to configure unique settings for each zone.

If a custom subfield is no longer required, the best practice is to remove it from your project. This ensures that your reference document is not cluttered with unnecessary custom subfields, and other users do not mistake it as valid. Delete a custom subfield by following these steps.

  1. Open the locator properties.
  2. Click the Custom Subfields tab.
  3. In the Subfields section, in the Name list, select the custom subfield to be deleted.
  4. Click Delete.
  5. Click Close to close the locator properties window.
  6. Save the changes to your project.
