Demonstration
Kofax Batch Class; Document; Form
• Batch is collection of pages
• A batch class contains one or more document classes, which in turn contain one or more form types. This
allows you to have different kinds of documents and forms within one batch. Kofax Capture can automatically
separate the pages into documents and identify different types of forms.
Document class
Form Type
Invoice 1
(same set of X indexes)
invoice from client A
invoice from client B
invoice from client C
PO
PO from client A
PO from client B
PO from client C
Time card
Time car of employee A
Time car of employee B
Time car of employee C
Agreement
(same set of indexes)
Medical lab reports
Record of Patient A
Record of Patient B
• Two processes, document separation and form identification, oversee the transformation of raw
images into individually identified documents. First, pages are either scanned or imported to create a
batch. Then, document separation divides the images into documents. Finally, form identification matches
each document with a batch class form type.

Kofax-Defined Document Separation Methods
Manual
Fixed pages separation (automatically creates a new document every set number of pages)
Kofax patch code separation (uses a patch code separator sheet to separate documents).
Kofax bar code separation uses a bar code separator sheet to separate documents.
Kofax separator sheet separation uses a Kofax separator sheet to separate documents.
Kofax page recognition separation - analyzes each image and separates when it finds the first page of a
form type.
• Separator zone separation analyzes a specific zone on each image and separates when the zone
matches the same zone on the first page of a form type.
• Form identification zone separation analyzes a specific zone(s) on each image and separates when the
zone(s) matches the first page of a form type.
