Tungsten Capture 11.2 is here, representing a major advancement in document processing and workflow management. Let’s explore the exciting new features that make Tungsten Capture 11.2 stand out.
Rebranding for a fresh identity
One of the first things you might notice is the rebranding. Formerly known as Kofax Capture, the product has now been renamed Tungsten Capture. This change aligns the software more closely with the Tungsten Automation brand and signals a new chapter of innovation. It’s not just a new name—it’s a renewed commitment to quality and user-focused design.
smarter, faster batch management
Tungsten Capture 11.2 focuses on efficiency, offering updates that make batch processing smoother than ever:
1. Auto-Refresh Batch Lists
The Open Batch dialog box refreshes your batch lists automatically at set intervals, ensuring the latest view without manual refresh. This feature is a real time-saver for busy operators.
- New Batch Description Column
Managers and operators can now quickly see detailed batch information at a glance. The addition of a new Description column in both Batch Manager and the Open Batch dialog, simplifies batch management.
- ZIP File Support for Batch Images
Archiving and sharing are simplified with the ability to save batch images directly into a ZIP file. Whether you’re backing up data or sending it off for further processing, this feature brings enhanced flexibility and convenience.
Enhanced Barcode Capabilities
Barcodes still play a critical role in document capture workflows, and Tungsten Capture 11.2 takes them to the next level:
1. Instant Barcode Viewing: In the Scan or Quality Control modules, barcode values are now visible via tooltips when hovering over thumbnails. This quick view eliminates extra steps and speeds up verification processes.
2. Universal Barcode Recognition: No matter which scanning or document separation method you use, every scanned or imported page now benefits from barcode recognition. This comprehensive approach ensures no data is missed, improving accuracy and efficiency.
user empowerment
Tungsten Capture 11.2 introduces several features that give users more control over their document capture processes:
1. Sticky Field Values vs. Default Values: Users can now decide which value—default or sticky—takes precedence for index or batch fields. This added flexibility helps maintain data integrity and meet specific operational needs.
2. New Macros for Scanner Data: New macros, {Scan Operator’s Scanner Manufacturer} and {Scan Operator’s Scanner Model}, capture detailed scanner data automatically. This means richer, more precise metadata with every scan.
3. Editing Batch Filter Profiles: A new permission in the User Profile window now lets users view and edit batch filter profiles created by others. Enhanced collaboration has never been easier, allowing teams to standardise processes and quickly adjust filters as needed.
4. Comments on Suspended Batches: When a batch is suspended, you can now add a comment to provide context. The note appears in the Batch Properties History tab, informing all team members of the reasons for any delays.
Robust data management and reporting
Keeping track of data and ensuring comprehensive reporting is essential in any enterprise environment. In this release, Tungsten Capture 11.2 offers several key improvements:
1. Extended Character Limits: For greater flexibility, property names such as batch, folder, and document class names now support up to 255 characters. This enhancement is particularly useful for organizations that require detailed naming conventions.
2. UTC Time Zone Offsets: A new TimeZone column in key statistics tables shows clear UTC offsets, simplifying the generation of accurate global reports.
3. Enhanced Error Handling: The ability to filter batches based on error messages means that troubleshooting is more efficient. Monitoring unrejected batches during reprocessing helps track issues, even when they are no longer flagged as errors.
4. Flexible Batch Suspension: Operators in Validation, Verification, and Quality Control can now suspend a batch even if required fields are empty or invalid. This flexibility ensures that issues can be addressed without halting the entire workflow.
final thoughts
Tungsten Capture 11.2 refines user experience and adds powerful capabilities for batch management, barcode processing, and data reporting. These enhancements for operators, managers, and IT admins reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and provide flexible document workflow management.
