  1. Data Sets (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”).

  2. Auto-correct scripts. (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.

  3. Script rules. 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.

  4. Export scripts. These scripts are used to take processed data and images and write them to external systems.
