Persist data between documents in a batch in Datacap Navigator

We have customized the index screen so when the indexer selects the 'Persist Date' checkbox, the indexing screen remembers the received date and populates the field for each document in the batch. When the indexer selects the 'Persist Doc Type' ch...

DataCap on Prem should work with wx.ai on prem.

at the moment, Datacap is only supporting the cloud IAM to authenticate with wx.ai. since the IAM on prem in wx.ai works different, the request would be to allow for authenticating against on prem as well

Scan to PDF in Datacap Navigator
