Key takeaway
<p>There are several areas in FlexiCapture where API integration with external systems may be beneficial.</p>
<p>This interface provides scripting support in several languages:</p>
<p>This interface provides dot-suggestions and basic debug/check tools. Code can be also debugged using external Visual Studio during testing runtime.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Data Sets</strong> (used only for Invoice processing). Data Sets are stored in FlexiCapture 11 internal SimpleDB structures which can be automatically updated from external sources. There are two update methods – ODBC connection on dedicated servers, or Script useful for cloud systems and API connections. (To see API reference, please search the attached Help file for “iDataSetRecord”).</li>
<li><strong>Auto-correct scripts.</strong> (Optional feature) These are small scripts that act on a single field and perform some automatic validation or fix. Sometimes these scripts are used to access external resources (DB, API) for some in-field data checking.</li>
<li><strong>Script rules.</strong> A more powerful alternative to #2 above, because script rules can involve and act on multiple fields. A common example is to use two or more fields to look up a record in an external system and possibly bring in additional data from an external system back into FlexiCapture.</li>
<li><strong>Export scripts.</strong> These scripts are used to take processed data and images and write them to external systems.</li>
</ol>
