TravelDocs application

Edit online

The TravelDocs sample application that is included in the Datacap installation illustrates how a Datacap application processes various travel-related documents.

The TravelDocs application is delivered with pre-configured jobs and tasks so that you can create batches with the provided pre-scanned sample images. You can create and process batches by using the Datacap Desktop and Datacap web clients without connecting a scanner to your computer. You can then process the captured data to the Export task.

A job is a collection of the tasks that are needed to input, identify, recognize, verify, and export data and images.

Each task accomplishes a portion of the required steps that are needed to capture and ensure that the captured data and images are complete, accurate, and valid.

When you use the Datacap Web Client, you can click Shortcuts on the Operations tab and run various jobs and tasks.
Note: Ensure that the Datacap Server Service is started before running the Datacap TravelDocs application. See Ensuring that the Datacap Server Service is started.

The following jobs are included in the TravelDocs application.

  • Main Job
  • FixUp Job
  • Web Job

The sequence in which you run the tasks in these jobs is as follows.
