Add 'Smart Scan' to a Udocx Application

Udocx Smart Scanning Watch now

Most Udocx scanning applications can utilize Udocx 'Smart Scan' technology.  Smart Scan allows multi-page scanning operations to be split into two or more jobs based on a variety of criteria.  The splitting method that you select when configuring Smart Scan will depend on the attributes of the documents being processed.  See Smart Scan for examples of how this technology can be used to automate both document archiving projects and your daily business workflows.

First, on the 'Smart Scan' tab of the Udocx application, enable the "Split scanned document" option.

Next, choose the split methodology that you would like to use from the four available options:

Page Count - When the page count of the documents is always the same, you can split multi-page scans based strictly on the number of pages.  It is important to note that when duplex (two-sided) scanning is available and enabled within the Udocx application, each physical page will result in two scanned pages (front and back), and will be counted as two scanned pages for the purposes of Page Count splitting.

When "Allow user to edit number of split pages" is enabled, a dialog will be visible on the Udocx display to allow the user to adjust the document page count for each scanning operation at scan time.  Note that this option is not available when using email enabled Udocx applications via SMTP.

Empty Page - This option will split a multi-page scan into separate documents whenever a blank page is detected.  When splitting based on this methodology, you also have the option to remove the empty page from the job.

Barcode or QR-code - This option will split a multi-page scan into separate documents whenever a barcode or QR code is detected.  You can choose to trigger on a barcode/QR-code found anywhere on a page, or in a specific area of a page based on an uploaded example page and template ("Select Area").  Finally, you can also specify whether a detected barcode/QR-code page will become the first page of the next job or the last page of the current job.

Resembles First Page - This option will split a multi-page scan into separate documents whenever a page similar to the first scanned page is detected.  You can choose to compare the whole page or only a specific area of the page based on an uploaded example page and template ("Select Area").  Finally, an accuracy percentage setting allows you to fine-tune the resemblance detection (lower this value if resemblance-based split points are being missed).
