Freeform

Freeform is helpful in cases when a field does not always appear in the same location on the invoices. Instead of searching for a field within a defined area (using an invoice definition), the entire invoice (or part of it, see below) is searched. It is as if the field is being interpreted for the first time in Kofax ReadSoft Invoices. Field titles and any DCL expressions for the field are still used.

Where can I use freeform?

Where Setting name Applies to Searches
Invoice profile Always interpret in freeform mode All suppliers for the invoice profile. The first and last pages of the invoice.

 

Invoice definition Freeform Invoices connected to the invoice definition. The first and last pages of the invoice.
Invoice definition Freeform in area Invoices connected to the invoice 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.
