Presales Place: Replacing Empty Field Values with Error in Quick Fields
By Rob Misconin, Presales Engineer
Some Quick Fields sessions have required fields that are populated from the data that is captured from the document. However, Quick Fields may not be able to capture and insert the value 100% of the times. Since Quick Fields cannot store documents with an empty required field, they will be left in the session for further review.
But what if you want all the documents to be sent to the repository? What if you want to notify a user that no value was captured? In this article, I will be showing you how to use a Substitution process to place an ‘Error’ when the value of a token is blank.
Before we examine what is happening within the substitution, it should be noted that (\w+) is a regular expression that is satisfied when any word character is in its place. For example, the expression “Error(\w +)” is satisfied by “ErrorJason.” It should also be noted that “$1” is the first value returned from the regular expression.
Here’s how the substitution works:
If %(First Name) has a value of Jason, then, according to the substitution, we will be looking at the value “ErrorJason.” The substitution will replace “ErrorJason” with the first match case, which is simply “Jason.” If %(First Name) is blank, the substitution process will replace it with Error.
This process can be very useful when used in conjunction with a workflow that catches all documents with a field value of error. This workflow can find all documents that have a required field that contains the value of error and route those documents to a folder that could require some intervention to resolve any scanning errors that may have occurred.
For more information on the substitution process, please see the Quick Fields Help Files.
