Automation is a premium feature on ScanRev that allows you to automate your data entry tasks and lets you process thousands of images/ pages quickly. 

Scripts and Automated Recognition (Barcode Automation) can help you populate multiple data fields for hundreds of documents in one go. It even automates document creation for a batch of scanned images. 

Here’s how you can use both these features-

  1. Login to REV
  2. Navigate to the Indexing screen and add images. 
  3. Now select the repository where you want to run the automation.
  4. Click on the automation you want to run from the ‘Automations' dropdown button — for example, in the image shown below, select either ‘script test’ or ‘barcode test’. This will run the automation on your selected documents.
     Once the automation has completed, the images will get split into separate documents or the data fields will get populated as per the instructions in the automation set-up by your admin.

 

 

Automated Script or Barcode Recognition automates the task of creating documents by scanning barcodes on your scanned images. Every page that has a different barcode from the previous page, gets instantly saved as a new document when you run this automation.
