Profile
A profile is a unit to which you can scan, and which has a purpose and a number of characteristics and rules. The contents of a profile are described below.
Profile Distributor
Usually you create a number of profiles in a WorkZone Content Server Imaginginstallation. However, there is always a standard profile: Profile Distributor, whose purpose is to distribute documents to the other profiles. The distribution is done by using the cover pages.
XML database
The XML database is a virtual table (the XML table) containing X number of fields. The fields define all the properties of the scanning process from scanning the document until it is registered in the WorkZone Content Server database.
The XML database is located in a folder, and each XML file located in this folder represents a record in the virtual table and therefore can contain the fields, which are defined in the table. The XML database is called ISXML.
XML table
The XML table is the virtual table constituting the XML database. The XML table is called Root Element. The name has no importance and is only used because of the InfoScan programs requirements.
XML fields
The XML fields are all the fields, which are defined by the InfoScan programs, and which are located in the XML database. The fields can be of the following types:
- InfoScan Field - this type is used for fields that are to be placed in the
<dkfm:metadata>part of the finished XML files, which are fetched by the WorkZone Content Server XdiDataConsumer. <dkfm:metadata> is general document information fulfilling the OIO standard. - SJ Field - this type is used for fields that are to be placed in the
<sj:metadata>part of the finished XML files, which are fetched by the WorkZone Content Server XdiDataConsumer. The field is formatted as an<sj:field>element (for more information, see section 5.12 The Set XML Fields window).<sj:metadata>is special fields required by WorkZone Content Server. - SJ group - this type is used for fields that are to be placed in the
<sj:metadata>part of the finished XML files, which are fetched by the WorkZone Content Server XdiDataConsumer. The field is formatted as an <sj:group> element (for more information, see The Set XML Fields Window).<sj:metadata>is special fields required by WorkZone Content Server.
XML Output Folder
The XML Output Folder is the folder where finished XML files and corresponding TIFF files are placed.
CFG file
A CFG file is a configuration file used by the InfoScan programs. The configuration file defines paths, fields, and functions for InfoScan Capture, functions for InfoScan Registration, and so on. Thus, the configuration file is the data definition for the XML database.
Transformation file
When the XML filter generates an XML file containing registration information, a transformation file is used to ensure that the finished XML file fulfills the format requirements imposed by WorkZone Content Server.
Assign Values to Fields in the XML Database
Values can be assigned to the fields in the XML database in different ways. If several values are assigned to the same field, they are prioritized as defined below.
- A value is assigned by using the default value of the field. See Configure a default value for a field.
- A value is assigned by selecting a default value during configuration of the profiles. For more information, see SJ ServerScan Administrator and The Edit ServerScan Profile window. A value assigned from a profile overwrites any previous assignments of values. A value is assigned by a cover page (see Configure codes for cover pages). A value assigned by a cover page overwrites any previous assignments of values.
- A value is assigned by entering a value in InfoScan Registration during manual registration of a document. A value assigned during manual registration overwrites any values assigned previously.
