Extended Edit Options dialog - Item Data

This dialog is accessed when you are creating or editing an edit profile. You receive this when your cursor is on an item data field, and use the Edit Profile - Individual Field popup.

You can use this dialog to replace selected characters in a data field with other characters during editing. Replacement occurs immediately after the field is validated, either during or after scanning. You can define a maximum of four replacement operations per edit. The replacement operations occur in the same order as you define them in the list below.

For each replacement operation, you must define the range of valid responses to check (From/To), the type of replacement you want (leading, trailing, all, none), and the individual characters to use for replacement.

Valid Response Range From / To

The range of valid responses for the field. Alphanumeric characters are entered; the character(s) must be standard ASCII and the same as the field type. If this is a numeric field, a digit must be entered for each character in the field. Example: if this is a four-character field, 4 and 8 should be entered as 0004 and 0008. You need to enter the same number of characters as the length of the field is defined.

Maximum % Light Marks:

The maximum percentage of light marks permitted in this item data grid. A document record exceeding this percentage is selected (rejected).

Replacement Characters

Enables you to specify characters within the range to be replaced with other characters. The replacement character area is case sensitive. For example, if you enter a lower-case m, only that character will be used, not the upper-case M.

  • Leading: Only leading characters of the type specified in the field are replaced.
  • Trailing: Only trailing characters of the type specified in the field are replaced. A trailing character is the last resolved position for this edit.
  • All: All characters of the type specified in the field are replaced.
  • Not Used: replacement is disabled.
