Quick Fields simplifies the organization and management of documents and unstructured information. It automates processing for a high volume of information by capturing data from various formats and sorting documents according to custom criteria, helping you put content to use quickly.

Improve Efficiency of Data Entry

The software saves your organization time on repetitive data-entry tasks, freeing your staff for other projects. With Quick Fields, you can generate and organize valuable information, such as extracting data from your documents and inserting it as metadata in your Laserfiche repository. Automating the process of turning paper documents into digital files mitigates the risk associated with manual data entry—as well as the risk of doing business without all of the information you need.

Automatically Integrate Data Capture With Storage

Quick Fields can automatically sort documents and store them in your Laserfiche repository, even creating the folder path. You specify the criteria that will be used to classify the documents and how they will be organized and stored, including using tokens to file documents according to the information they contain. External databases can be used to validate data extracted from documents, as well as to retrieve information for document metadata.

Image Processing

  • Retrieve imaged or electronic documents from a local or network drive or a Laserfiche repository.
  • Apply single processes or groups of them to documents after scanning.
  • Remove extra pages such as blanks or slipsheets.
  • Examine a region or groups of markable features to determine if they have been marked.
  • Permanently place text, annotations, or an image on imaged documents.
  • Redact or otherwise annotate information that fits a pattern.
  • Generate sequential numbers for documents or pages.

Image Enhancement

  • Clean up imaged documents to improve the results of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with tools such as deskew, despeckle, line or border removal, resize, rotate, image crop, color smoothing, or invert.
  • Work with forms, aligning an image with an empty form or removing form structure while leaving the form data.

Data Extraction and Storage

  • Generate text from electronic documents or from imaged documents using OCR.
  • Identify and extract text that fits a pattern.
  • Read barcodes and use the information in document metadata.
  • Generate text from a particular area on an imaged document with Zone OCR.
  • Extract information from an outside database during or after processing and confirm that field values correspond to values in it.
  • Classify documents for processing and storage by a variety of means, including page measurements, search results, extracted information, or comparison to a master form.
