FTSplitDef
Evaluation Rules
After the identification, unwanted and split rules have been defined it is important to configure the rule evaluation for each entry in the rule file. The evaluation method of each type of rule (identification, unwanted and split) can be set so that either all rules must match or any rule must match.
In some instances you may need to create a combination of rules to successfully split/identify your data. For instance, you would need more than one evaluation rule to determine the difference between an invoice and a reprinted invoice. FTSplitDef will allow you to define how multiple rules are handled by the FTSplit in two ways:
- All must match to qualify - as stated.
- Any one matched to qualify - one or more rules must match for success.
Split rules can be further controlled. Split rules can be set to:
- Split on match - meaning that the rule must exactly match to succeed. For example, a split rule using the page number would split the document when the page number was equal to, or “matched” the value 1. Use leading and trailing spaces to avoid splitting on page numbers 10, 11, 12, 100, 101, 102 etc.
- Split on change - meaning that if the text in the rule changes the rule succeeds. For instance, a split rule on a change in the customer number splits when a new customer number was present.
To configure the rule evaluation for each entry:
- Select Evaluation Rules from the Rules menu.
- For each rule type, set whether all rules or at least one rule must be satisfied before the action occurs.
- On the Split tab, select the correct Split on option.
- Click on the OK button.
