New actions in the Datacap Action Libraries

  • rrCompareNumeric action

    The rrCompareNumeric action allows for comparison of numeric values with Less Than and Greater Than parameters. Learn more...

  • SaveImageInformation action

    The SaveImageInformation action obtains image information and stores it in the DCO. Learn more...

  • Visual Recognition Classifier action

    New action for training for the Visual Recognition Classifier is added. This action is similar to the action for training for Natural Language Classifier. Also the classify action is changed for both the IBM Watson Natural Language Classifier and VisualAge, so that it takes the classifier name as a parameter. Learn more...

  • Natural Language Classifier action

    The new actions are added that classify text by using IBM Watson Natural Language Classifier. Learn more...

  • New IBM Content Manager actions

    These actions help for searching and downloading the IBM Content Manager documents successfully. See other actions

  • New FileNet P8 actions

    These actions help for searching and downloading documents successfully. See other actions

  • rrContains action

    The rrContains action enables manipulation on a part of a string in a variable or in a field. This uses the Smart Parameters that you enter as the parameter to locate and compare the values of two objects' variables. Learn more...

  • CreateVirtualZone action

    This action creates a field zone at runtime based on the identified text locations. Learn more...

  • New action to set batch filter group key

    Added a new action that enables application developers to set the new batch filter group key in the tmbatch table. The action takes one or more group names and stores either the string or preferably the mapped integer value (computed based on the mode). When the batch is released, the client (Rulerunner, FastDoc, DcDesktop, or Navigator) transmits this information to aTM.

  • RefreshFields action

    The RefreshFields action creates fields but preserves existing data. This action is similar to CreateFields action except that if a data file exists for a page then it does not erase the previously created fields and add new fields to the page.

  • AddDcoNode actions

    Action AddDcoNode creates a DCO node of the type that is indicated by a Field, Page or Document. You can add the new nodes at all the levels (that is Document, Page, and Field). If the node of the same type and ID exists, then no new node is created and the action returns True.

  • rrSet_ID actions

    Action rrSet_ID renames the target DCO node with the source value. It sets the target's ID (dco.id) with the value from the source. The action returns False, only when it cannot locate the target object, otherwise it returns True.

General enhancements

  • Role or group-based batch filtering in DcDesktop and FastDoc

    Role or group-based batch filtering in DcDesktop and FastDoc is supported.

  • Downloading FileNet P8 content in bulk by using a FileNet Sweep Job.

    You can use the FileNet sweep framework to download FileNet P8 content in bulk. Learn more...

  • Datacap Application Manager enhancement

    Datacap Application Manager is enhanced that allows selecting {default} for some app settings so the server-side settings take effect and add ADLDS to the list of authenticators.

  • Smart Parameter Builder Control to Datacap Studio

    The new smart parameter builder control is added for Datacap Studio when setting action parameters. Learn more...

Other supports

  • Support for scanning with Apple Macintosh

    You can scan by using Apple Macintosh.

  • Support for Datacap queuing to provide configurable prioritization criteria

    The Datacap queue by proximity to due date/time is supported. This is in addition to Queue by job start time and Queue by task start time. When a custom batch is updated with due date/time, the server can sort by using that column.
