AutoCapture... What is it...

Okay, so the "cat is out of the bag" now about our AutoCapture feature.... So, here's some more information:

We've developed an integrated Front-End-Capture solution for SentryFile 5 called "AutoCapture". It will appear in SentryFile 5.07 and later.

What is does:
  1. Templated Zone OCR
  2. Barcode Recognition
  3. Database Lookup
  4. Fixed Values (static field values) -- d'uh!
  5. Coming: Web Services lookups... Very cool, but probably not released with 5.07.

We've built this feature in response to the growing demand for automation. Also we've found that other front end capture solutions are either too complicated, too difficult to integrate or both. This capture solution is integrated with SF5 and will allow you to quickly and easily create automated capture jobs.

The AutoCapture feature will be included in Corporate and Enterprise editions of SentryFile 5 only.

Here are some screen shots to wet your appetite:

You can create an unlimited number of AutoCapture Jobs. You can even have multiple AutoCapture jobs for the same Cabinet.

Above is the is the Job Details page where you can configure the settings for your job. Notice the "Document Sources" pane? This is very similar to the inbox. You can specify the Email, FTP and folder locations that you would like to gather documents from.

This is the "Field Mappins" pane. You can map each field in the Cabinet to a specified source, e.g. Zone OCR region, Barcode, Fixed Value or Database Lookup.

Above is the Zone Selection screen where you can define areas on a page to capture ZoneOCR or Barcode data.

We'll release more information as it becomes available. Lemme know your thoughts! :)

You have once again impressed me that we made the right choice to become a dealer for SentryFile. This new feature of autocapture will cause an explosion in new sales and upgrades to existing customers. I can't wait to see it.
Great job Chris.

Thanks Scott! We home that this will be a beneficial feature. Also, we are working hard to become more "transparent" about what we are working on. Hopefully this Blog is a step in the right direction!
