Summary

Is there a way that a Batch Field can be validated?

Answer/Solution

Yes. There are a couple of methods that can be used.

If validation must be performed at Batch-creation time, a Custom Panel must be implemented to check the Batch Field value and prevent the creation of the Batch until the Field criteria is met.

Probably a better method is to implement a VB.NET Validation script. First, a Document Index Field would have its default value set to the Batch Field to be changed. In the Validation script, the PostFieldEvent of the Field linked to the Batch Field checks the value and changes the Batch Field value if required.

Private Sub Name0_FieldPostProcessing(sender As Object, e As Kofax.AscentCapture.Scripting.PostFieldEventArgs) Handles Name0.FieldPostProcessing

    If Name0.IndexField.Value <> "ABCDE" Then

        Throw New ValidationErrorException("Incorrect Value")

    Else

        Name0.IndexField.Batch.BatchFields("TestField").Value = Name0.IndexField.Value

    End If

End Sub
