When scanning, the MICR reader reads and parses most of the MICR lines accurately, but some data might be misread. This data will need to be keyed in by a user. EZ-Scan provides a fast and easy interface to correct and fill in missing field data.
First you will need to get the data into the grid that you would like to verify. This can be done by scanning items, or by doing a search for the items. For instance, you could do a search for all items that have a Process Date of today, or you could run the Verify program right after scanning a batch while the items scanned are still in the grid.
You can get to the verify screen 3 ways.
Go to Tools>Verify from the main menu
Hit the F9 key
Click the Verify button on the toolbar
The Verifier will go through the data in the grid, using the criteria set up in the options screen. It will check for required fields, and fields to display in the Verifier. From the option screen you can set the field properties for each field, which include 'Show on Verify' and 'Required for Item'. If the field is set to 'Show on Verify' it will be visible on the screen above. If it is set to 'Required for Item' the Verifier will know to stop on that field, for you to enter the data if it is missing. It will loop through the records that were in the grid and only stop on the ones with data missing from the required fields. When it locates a record with missing data, it will then highlight and set focus to the first field with missing required data from that record.
Using the 'Enter' key, you can speed through the data entry. The Verifier will stop on a field, the user keys in the data and hits the 'Enter' key. The data is saved, and the next missing field in that record is highlighted, if there is any more required fields missing in that record. If that record is complete, the system will save the data and continue searching until it finds the next record with missing required data and then repeat the process. This process should be very easy to use for casual user or an experienced 10 key operator.
You can edit any of the fields displayed in the Verifier, not just the required ones. The system will only highlight the required ones. You can also move through the records with the record navigation buttons on the toolbar.
When all required data is captured, the Verifier will inform you that all data has been verified and ask you if you would like to close the Verify screen. Click 'Yes' and you will return to the main EZ-Scan screen.
The '+' key can be used to fill a field with the last value entered for that field. This will speed up data entry when you have multiple items with the same value.
The '-' key can be used to clear the value in a field
Numeric fields have a 'require decimal in data entry' property. Setting this property to false will allow the user to enter the data without the decimal. The decimal will be added before the item is saved automatically. For instance, if the value is '100.35', the user would simply type '10035' and hit enter. A value of '100.35' will be saved in the database. When the property is set to false the decimal key will be mapped to '00' since the decimal is not needed. Therefore, if the value is '100.00', the user would type in the value '100. ' and hit enter. A value of 100.00 would be saved in the database. Remember if you type '100' without the '.', it will be saved as '1.00'. This setting can be changed in the Add/Edit field dialog.
The Verifier supports lookup fields. In the Add/Edit field dialog you can enable lookup values for a field. The user will be presented with a drop down box for a field with lookup enabled. The drop down list will be filled with values from the lookup table for that field. The user can be restricted to selecting only values in the list or can add new values depending on the settings for that field.
