Figure 5-1. Workflow Including Ascent Xtrata Pro Validation

The above figure shows the general sequence of events during the validation process.
The input data comes from the automatic extraction step together with a confidence
rating (either confident or not confident).

Next, any relevant field formatting rules are applied to the data. This formatting step
may change the field text and return an attribute that indicates whether formatting
has succeeded or failed.

The next step is the execution of any relevant automatic validation rules. This step
returns the final state for each field, indicating if it is valid or invalid.

Documents where all fields are valid do not need to be shown in the Validation
module, but documents with one or more invalid fields must be shown to a user to
confirm or correct the invalid fields.

After the correction and confirmation of the fields data, the formatting and automatic
validation steps are again applied to all the modified fields. This cycle must be
repeated until all fields are valid.

Adding validation to your project requires reviewing extraction settings, creating
validation methods, adding/assigning validation rules, and defining validation
forms.

Extraction

The extraction settings involve some field properties and field formatters.
