Figure 5-31. Code Block in the AnalyseAndOutputMatches Function
There are two steps within each of these blocks of code:
Step 1: Check number of matches.
Step 2: Output to a field.
Step 1: Check Number of Matches
The function checks the number of matches found in the “MCTarget_Date”
collection. This will be the same as for the “MCAnchor_Date” collection. (For a target
search the anchor collection will only have blank entries, for an anchor-target search
the targets may be blank.)
Step 2: Output to a Field
If a single match is found, the value is output from the target collection to the field
called “Date.”
If multiple matches are found, the first value is output from the target collection to
the field called “Date”, and the value is flagged as unconfident so it requires
reviewing in Completion.
Note
It is possible to output the match value as a field with the same name as the
search, a field with an alternative name, the document type or the document type in
a field. By changing the value of the Output Type property (on the Main panel) for
each search, the script code for all these options can be automatically configured and
inserted. For further information, refer to the How to Configure Recognition book in
the INDICIUS Help.
