Freeform
Freeform is helpful in cases when a field does not always appear in the same location on the documents. Instead of searching for a field within a defined area (using a document definition), the entire document (or part of it, see below) is searched. It is as if the field is being interpreted for the first time in Kofax ReadSoft Entrance. Field titles and any DCL expressions for the field are still used.
Where can I use freeform?
| Where | Setting name | Applies to | Searches |
| Document profile | Always interpret in freeform mode | All senders for the document profile. | The first and last pages of the
document.
|
| Document definition | Freeform | Invoices connected to the document definition. | The first and last pages of the document. |
| Document definition | Freeform in area | Invoices connected to the document definition. | In and around the drawn area for the field.
(Specifically, the area of the learned field, plus 10% of the page height and width around this area.) |
Note Freeform results can vary depending on
field type.
