Edit Options Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to set initial defaults for this application on how to handle post-scan editing for scanned data when using an edit profile. Scan operators can change these settings using the Scanning Module. If they do, these defaults no longer apply. This dialog box provides you with a quick and easy way to set up initial defaults for several scan operators at one time. Reach this dialog box by clicking Edit on the Runtime Defaults dialog box.

CAUTION: The settings in this dialog box affect only the currently selected application. Each application has its own Edit Options settings. You should check the Edit Options settings each time you select a different application and before you edit a data file.

What's an Edit Profile?

What's on the screen?

Use this element…	…to…
Edit Normally	Show records that have not yet been accepted. This includes records for which an edit profile has not yet verified, as well as records that can have previously failed an edit verification. Records that have already been accepted are skipped.
Recheck all records for edit failures	Show all records that are currently failing an edit, regardless of the state of the Edit Pass Flag or Grid Error Flag in the NCS Header. Use this edit option if you suspect that some records in the data file were erroneously accepted. All records that were previously accepted with errors are shown for correction. NOTE: Records marked for deletion are NOT processed when you perform post-scan editing or scoring, even if Recheck all records for edit failures is selected.
Clear all edit flags	Clear all edit flags in the selected data file. Edit pass flags (byte 22 of NCS Header) and grid error flags (byte 24 of NCS Header) are replaced with spaces in the data file. Flags for online edit correction or post-scan editing are cleared. No editing is performed. Use this edit option if you decide to use a different edit profile on the data file records. Each data record is checked by the new edit profile. NOTE: Records marked for deletion are NOT processed when you perform post-scan editing or scoring, even if Clear all edit flags is selected.
