Sepp Leaf Products Invoice sample

This sample shows the new "Tag Based Value" property of TextConverter. This feature allows you to set a tag and then you can set anything in the document as the value. An important thing to know about tags and values is how they are recognized. For a tag, when you highlight something Text Convertor takes what is tagged and records it. TC does this because it looks through the rest of the document to re-tag what it recorded earlier if it is repeated. However, when you set a value, Text Convertor doesn’t record anything, it records the area of the document that is selected as the value relative to the tag. This is done because the value is generally a variable and the only thing that should be a constant from document to document is its position relative to the tag.

In this sample, we will be setting some tags.

• • • 1. After you load the input file, one of the tags that we can make is the PO# tag. Highlight PO#, right click -> Add tag. You should see that it selects the term "Shipvia" by default.

      2. To correct this, select the term that you do want "009ASEP0109," right click -> Set Value For -> PO#. This will set the desired value to be under the PO# tag.

      3. We will repeat this process for INVOICE#.

      4. Notice how this time, when you added INVOICE# as a tag, it automatically selected the correct values.

      5. Don't forget to drag the new fields from the input dictionary to the output dictionary so that they are in your output preview.
