4-30
Default value expression is a text expression to set the default value for a
particular index field. In default value expression, you need to define the
default value by using one or more predefined tags (i.e., system, barcode/OCR
value) or a fixed string. You can also define multiple options of the default
value by connecting tags with the OR keyword.
Tags
<tagname>
<tagname:transformexpression>
tagname is a pre-defined system, OCR or barcode zone data expression.
System data expressions include date, time, Station ID and name, Job and
User name, batch and workgroup path, document and page ID and Last Value.
transformexpression is used to transform the format of the system or
barcode/OCR value. For example the date is expressed as MMddyy, the
transform expression may change the format to MM/dd/yyyy. See the next
section for a description of transform expression.
"text"
text is a fixed text string. The string delimiter character " (double quote) is not
allowed in the format. A fixed text string format is normally used in combination
with other formats.
A default value may include more than one tag expression used in
combination. For example you may want the Default value to include the date,
time and Station ID separated by a dash. To do this concatenate them
together.
For example:
<sys.date:ddMMyy>"-"<sys.time:hhmmss> "-" <sys.stationid>
The OR keyword may also be included in the default value expression. This
may be useful when a value may not always be present. You may want to set
the default value to the value of a barcode that appears on the document.
For example:
<barcode.UPI ID Number>
If no barcode is found on the document, the index field will be empty. The OR
keyword can be used to provide an alternate value.
For example:
<barcode.UPI ID Number> OR "Barcode not found on document:"
<app.documentid>
As many expressions as needed may be OR'd
Default Value Option #1 OR Default Value Option #2 OR ... OR Default Value
Option #n
The system will check the Default Value Option # one by one from left to right,
and use the first valid data to initialize the index data.
