A dataset might contain a number of files that have the same structure, such as a set of scanned-in forms.
Instead of having to add the same manual overrides for each file, you can use a PDF file in the dataset to create a template that you can apply to other PDF files in the dataset.
When you edit a PDF file, you can apply a template.
To add a PDF template to a dataset:
On the dataset details page, click PDF Templates.
On the template creation and selection panel, click Create a New Template.
On the template details page:
In the Name field, provide a name for the template.
From the file dropdown list, select the dataset file to use to create the template.
Add the manual overrides to the file.
When you finish adding the manual overrides, click Save New Template.
When you update a PDF template, it affects any files that use the template.
To update a PDF template:
On the dataset details page, click PDF Templates.
Under Edit an Existing Template, select the template, then click Edit Selected Template.
On the template details panel, you can change the template name, and add or remove manual overrides.
To save the changes, click Update Template.
On the template details panel, to add a manual to a file:
Select the type of override. To indicate to ignore any automatically detected values in the selected area, click Ignore Redactions. To indicate to redact the selected area, click Add Manual Redaction.
Use the mouse to draw a box around the area to select.
Tonic Textual adds the override to the Redactions list. The icon indicates the type of override.
To select and highlight a manual override in the file content, in the Redactions list, click the navigate icon for the override.
To remove a manual override, in the Redactions list, click the delete icon for the override.
When you delete a PDF template, the template and its manual overrides are removed from any files that the template was assigned to.
To delete a PDF template:
On the dataset details page, click PDF Templates.
Under Edit an Existing Template, select the template, then click Edit Selected Template.
On the template details panel, click Delete.
