A: This can occur if the workbook is protected. Unprotect the workbook or sheet and try the Summary button again.

A: Pattern will only be printed on Capturx-enabled sheets in the workbook. Be sure that the sheet you wish to print is a Capturx-enabled Template or Direct form. To enable the form, use the "Enable Form" button of the Capturx menu. 

A: Verify the following if you get this failure message:  “Failed to import ink to the current sheet. Please contact Adapx technical support.” 

• Are there any Word Lists in the workbook that is formatted with only one value? Expand the list to include at least two field values prior to import.
• Is Word 2007 installed? Import process requires access to Word 2007 dictionary.
• The name of the worksheet being imported may already exist.
• Verify there are no hidden or protected worksheets

A: Placing “%” before a number confuses the recognition process. Please avoid using a “%” as the first character before a number.

A: Yes, a common approach is to create an XML table of summarized form data

XML provides a simple structured data format that is flexible for variety of approaches to integrating data into your database. You can create XML Data files from data collected using Capturx Forms for Excel.

The easiest way to create xml files containing multiple records is to use Capturx summary functionality. This automatically creates flat data tables where each column heading contains the name of a field and each row is an individual record in your data table.

For easy data sharing and import, these tables can be saved as XML files.

The column headers become the field names. The field names are defined using brackets which surround the data. The data table above is transformed to the xml shown below.

These files can be easily imported into many applications.

Here are some tips on preparing Capturx form solutions for use with xml

1. Download and install the free  XML add-in for Excel from Microsoft
   Download version 1.1 of the Excel 2003 XML Tools Add-in which works with Microsoft Office Excel 2007. http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?AssetID=XT011863191033&CTT=5&Origin=HA102635091033&app=EXCEL&ver=12 Follow the instructions from Microsoft on how to enable the add-in within Excel 2007.
   
   
2. Name the cells in your form template (suggested)
   Excel allows you to “name ranges” of cells. This includes the ability to name an individual cell. The name of the cell in the template becomes the heading of the column for the data table. Since it’s easiest for teams to work with self-describing field names for visually checking data or mapping it to other applications, we encourage teams to name their cells. This is not required.
   
   
3. Create a summary table of your data
   Once you have one or more forms completed, put focus on the original template and click on “Summarize” in the Capturx ribbon. This will create the data table. You can then work within your existing form workbook or click on “export in the Capturx ribbon” to create a new workbook which only contains the data in that data table.
   
   
4. Create the  XML list and schema from your column names
   Go to the XML add-in, dropdown the “xml tools” menu and select “Convert a range to xml.” Select the all data that you want to use to create the x XML file – including all the rows, all the columns, and the row which contains the column names. When prompted whether to “use first row as column names,” select yes. This will define the xml schema in the file and, in the example below, convert “Name” to <Name> </Name>
   
   Note: Excel supports formatting of cell values, such as dates, decimal places, which make the cells easier to read. Capturx keeps that formatting in the summary data tables. When you generate an XML list – the formatting goes away – but the data values remain constant. Ie: “$90.70” becomes “90.7” You will see a warning about this when generating your list – you can select cancel and continue the process.
   
   
   
   
5. Generating the  XML file
   When finished, you will see a data table in Excel which now appears with colored background and data filters enabled. To generate the  XML file, save the workbook using “Save as” / “other formats” and select “XML data *.xml” from the “save as type” option at the bottom of the save as dialog.
   
   
6. Working with the  XML file
   When you open the file in Excel, it will automatically be displayed as a data table similar to the format from which it was created.
   
   

You can also open it in any  XML editor or text editors (like the notebook or word pad applications that are part of Windows) and see the XML encoding.

A: Capturx requires access to the Office 2007 dictionary which is only available via Word 2007. Capturx includes powerful handwriting recognition software which enables teams to convert written text to digital text for use in Office and other applications. Capturx improves recognition accuracy by matching ink strokes to a standard dictionary. Office also has a dictionary to which people can “add words” as they edit email and Office files. To take advantage of this extended set of custom words, Capturx adds any custom entries in the Office 2007 dictionary to your Capturx dictionary. In order to use Capturx Forms for Excel 2007, teams must have Word 2007 installed. Capturx only leverages the dictionary, so teams do not need to have Word running in order to use Capturx.

A: Capturx Forms for Microsoft Excel is available only to the individual who was logged onto the machine when the application was installed.  In order for multiple users to access the application on the same machine, the application will need to be installed using the login credentials for each individual.

A: This message can appear if the Excel form solution that you are publishing to SharePoint has word lists which only contain a single value  If you see this message, please check your word lists. If any contain a single value, then please expand the list(s) to include at least two field values and then re-publish the form.

 

Q: Links to individual forms in the Template Summary Table no longer work.

A: If the template and worksheets summarized were copied over from a different workbook, links to individual forms will no longer work because the file path has changed. To correct this problem, do not copy worksheets, instead select move to another workbook. Links will now work in the new workbook. Note: moving worksheets removes them from original workbook - backup files as needed.
