Type of search box

A personalization box is associated with a search box, which can be:

  • Fixed Zone: The value will be searched within the zone but not elsewhere
  • Vertical Zone: The value will initially be searched within the zone. But if it’s not found, the area will move in a vertical corridor all the way down the bill to try and find a matching value. (Represented by a large vertical yellow area in customization edit mode)
  • Horizontal Zone: The value will initially be searched within the zone. But if it’s not found, the area will move in a horizontal corridor along the entire length of the bill to try to find a matching value. (Represented by a large horizontal yellow area in customization edit mode)
  • Horizontal/Vertical Zone: The value will initially be searched within the zone. But if it’s not found, the area will move in a vertical and then horizontal corridor all the way down the bill to try to find a matching value. (Represented by two large horizontal and vertical yellow areas in customization edit mode)

Expert Customization

Clicking on the button opens the customization wizard.

This interface is made up of two parts:

  • Marker: If a marker appears in the text box, it means that Smart Capture has recognized a marker from the tags it knows for that index in your customization area. If the text box is blank, you can enter a tag contained in the box, and Smart Capture will save it as a potential tag for that index.
  • Value: In the text box appears all the text present in your text box. So proceed step by step:
  1. Clear words that don’t match the desired value for the index
  2. See if Smart Capture knows a model for this value:
  • This icon warns you that Smart Capture knows a pattern that can be applied to find that value
  • This icon warns you that Smart Capture cannot recognize this value from known patterns. So you need to teach him a new pattern. You have two choices to do this:

You haven’t taken the regex training: Just click on the icon, this will generate a very simple template to find your value. You can verify that the template has been generated by getting the icon. You can then validate and continue your videocoding.

You have followed the regex training: You can click on “Advanced Mode”, which allows you to get this interface, You can then enter the regex corresponding to your value
