Test Results tab - Properties of Database Evaluator window

Database Evaluator icon The Database Evaluator identifies a database record that matches the input data for a document. Unlike the Database Locator, that attempts to match a database record with recognition data from the full page or a smaller region, the Database Evaluator uses data from the results of other locators.

This locator method uses input from other locators and in order to test the Database Evaluator you need to ensure that a database is selected and locator subfields are assigned to database fields on the General tab.

When Test is clicked at the bottom of the properties window, the single alternative, a matching database record, is displayed along with its fields and their confidence.

The fields have different values depending on:

  • Whether the record was matched.

    If the record was not successfully matched, the field values returned are simply the values fed into the evaluator.

  • The replacement settings.

    If a matching record was found, the fields contain either database values or input values depending on the replacement settings specified on the General tab.

The following buttons are available at the bottom of this window:
