Magnification Mode replaces the Zoom Overlay feature first introduced in release 4.5.0.0. Using Magnification Mode, operators can easily locate and enlarge data that appears in small text on document images.<\/p>\n<p>Features introduced with Magnification Mode include an adjustable magnification area, further zoom and rotation functionality within the magnified area, and OCR text extraction from the magnified panel.<\/p>\n<p>Refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ephesoft.com\/docs\/features-and-functions\/operator\/review-validation\/magnification-mode\/\">Magnification Mode<\/a> user guide for more information.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290286\"><\/a>Silent Installer for Web Scanner<\/h3>\n<p>Ephesoft Transact 2020.1 offers a property file-based <strong>Web Scanner<\/strong> silent installer, allowing IT administrators to remotely install, uninstall and upgrade the Web Scanner client software to end-user workstations. These actions can be deployed from one main installer to numerous workstations, with no end-user interaction required.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290287\"><\/a>Feature Enhancements<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"post-43353-_Hlk25157015\"><\/a> The following enhancements were added to the existing Ephesoft Transact features below:<\/p>\n<h3>Cloud HyperExtender Plugin Improvements<\/h3>\n<p>Ephesoft Transact 2020.1 enhances the Ephesoft Cloud HyperExtender plugin with several new features outlined in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ephesoft.com\/docs\/features-and-functions\/administrator\/moduleplugin-configuration\/ephesoft-cloud-hyperextender-plugin-2020-1\/\">Ephesoft Cloud HyperExtender Plugin 2020.1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290288\"><\/a>Importing Global Document Types<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Import Batch Class<\/strong> dialog box now includes new options for handling Global Document Types in the Batch Class import process. This upgrade preserves the administrators preferred Document Type in the destination environment, and maintains all index fields and extraction rules as defined during the Batch Class import.<\/p>\n<p>From the Import Batch Class dialog box, administrators can now link Global Document Types to the Global Batch Class. If any Global Document Type in the imported Batch Class is identified as missing in the destination environment, administrators can choose to create those document types in the destination Global Batch Class, and the document type will be linked to the local Batch Class being imported.<\/p>\n<p>Refer to\u00a0<strong>Importing a Batch Class <\/strong>in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ephesoft.com\/docs\/features-and-functions\/administrator\/batch-class-management\/importing-exporting-batch-class\/\">Importing and Exporting Batch Classes<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290289\"><\/a>XY Coordinates in Batch XML<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Batch XML<\/strong> functionality has been expanded to preserve XY coordinate information for extracted values, and indicate how index field values were extracted.<\/p>\n<p>In versions 4.5.0.0 through 2019.2, XY coordinate values were removed from the Batch XML file when an operator manually changed an index field value or extracted a new value in the Validation Review screen. In Ephesoft Transact 2020.1, XY coordinates for extracted values are maintained in the &lt;CoordinatesList&gt; element within the Document Level Fields (DLF) section of the batch.xml file.<\/p>\n<p>Batch.xml files in 2020.1 now also include an element called &lt;ExtractionType&gt; that is added to the XML structure within the DLF section. This element indicates whether the index field values were extracted automatically or manually by the operator.<\/p>\n<p>Refer to <strong>Document-Level Fields<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/ephesoft.com\/docs\/developers\/scripting-guide\/batch-xml-schema\/\">Batch.XML and XSD Schema for Developers<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290290\"><\/a>Linux: GhostScript Removal<\/h3>\n<p>As of Ephesoft Transact 2020.1, <strong>GhostScript for Linux<\/strong> is no longer available within Ephesoft Transact as a file interpretation software. To replace GhostScript\u2019s specific functionalities, three Linux-based plugins have been updated and tested to deliver comparable file size, image quality and performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important: <\/strong>For existing Ephesoft Transact users, further configuration may be necessary to meet original image quality settings. When upgrading to Ephesoft Transact 2020.1 from a previous version, plugin settings will be automatically changed, and previous image quality configuration may be lost. Customers upgrading to Ephesoft Transact 2020.1 in Linux are advised to test a series of small batches prior to running a full-scale batch class, to verify all files are returned with satisfactory image quality.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290291\"><\/a>Web Services<\/h3>\n<p>Additional <strong>API Web Services<\/strong> are available with Ephesoft Transact 2020.1, providing enhanced programmatic functions within Batch Class and Document Type management. These APIs provide configuration settings at the document type, index field and extraction rule levels, and allow developers to programmatically maintain similarities between index fields and document types.<\/p>\n<p>Refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/ephesoft.com\/docs\/developers\/web-services-api\/web-services-explorer\/\">Web Services Explorer<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290292\"><\/a>Language Support<\/h3>\n<h4><a id=\"post-43353-_Toc31290293\"><\/a>Chinese and Thai Beta<\/h4>\n<p>Ephesoft Transact 2020.1 has been updated to better support <strong>Chinese<\/strong> (Simplified and Traditional) and <strong>Thai <\/strong>languages for content classification and extraction.\u00a0This latest version of Ephesoft Transact offers numerous software updates, OCR improvements, and extensive support for regular expressions necessary to extract Chinese and Thai data from unstructured documents.<\/p>\n<p>These two languages are being offered in a beta release.
