Note:

Bar codes are generated by third-party products or they can be generated via the OnBase Bar Code Generator, a separately-licensed product.

Bar codes can be used when scanning or sweeping documents to speed up and improve the accuracy of indexing by assigning Keyword Values to the documents as they are scanned or swept.

Bar codes can also be used to apply a Document Date value to a document as it is scanned or swept.

Note:

If a bar code process is configured to read a Document Date value of a format that is different than the format determined by the workstation's Windows Regional Settings, any Document Date value that is identified by that bar code process will be reformatted to match the Windows Regional Settings before it is applied to the corresponding document.

Bar codes may also be used to identify the Document Type or to serve as separator pages that signal the beginning of new documents.

In order to perform bar code processing at the time a document is scanned or swept, the Hyland Bar Code Recognition software or Kofax hardware or software must be installed on the Disconnected Scanning workstation.

Documents containing bar codes may also be processed by the batch on a single workstation. The processing workstation must be registered with a Bar Code Recognition Server license and either the Hyland Bar Code Recognition software or Kofax hardware/software.

Note:

Depending on your configuration, batches may be set to be routed to the Awaiting Bar Code Processing batch status queue instead of having bar code processing performed at the time of scanning. In the former case, the batches must first be uploaded to the OnBase Client before they can be processed from the Awaiting Bar Code Processing batch status queue. For more information, see the Document Imaging documentation.

For more information on indexing using bar codes, see the Bar Code Process module reference guide.
