Image Groups
Image scans are assigned to image groups. Image groups are useful to keep a series of scan images
together for ease of tracking, and to allow descriptive comments for the group. There is no limit on the
quantity of groups that can be maintained on the tablet, up to the storage limits of the tablet.
There are two types of image groups:
•
Standard group – Contains individual scans. Create scans individually as required, and each new
scan is added into the group, until a new group is created or a different current image group is
reopened. There is no limit to the quantity of images that can be contained in a single standard
image group. Scans are separately exported, searched, and commented.
•
Multiple Images group – Contains up to 4 scans. Scanned images can be resized manually to pres-
ent a uniform, sequenced, proportional appearance matching the scans together. Scans are
enhanced, exported, searched, and commented together. (For information on working with Multi-
ple Images groups, refer to
Section 7.2, Multiple Image Scanning (Manual Stitching)
.)
7.5.2.1
Group Names
Image groups can be named by the user. When an image group is created (in the
Scan Monitor Mode
Screen
) a default group name appears (“
Images
,” see
Figure 7-8
). Tapping the Add Group button
opens a subscreen, with the hint text
Group Name
in a text entry box. The user taps inside the box to
enable the on-screen keyboard, and types the name for the new group. The group name is committed to
the database when the user taps the
OK
button.
•
The group name cannot be modified after the group is created.
•
The software automatically adds a blank space and a numeral (1, 2, …) to the typed text. If the user
taps the
OK
button without entering any text, the software simply inserts the numeral to create the
unique group name. (For the first group created on a calendar day, the default name,
Images
, is
used.)
•
As the user types the new group name, the software attempts to match the characters to other group
names of that type (standard or Multiple Images), created earlier on that tablet, on that calendar
day. If a match is found, the software auto-fills the rest of the name and automatically adds a blank
space and assigns a numeral (1, 2, …). The numeral is the lowest number not currently assigned to
any group of that type (standard or Multiple Images), created on that tablet, on that calendar day.
This type-ahead feature allows rapid entry of common group category terms; for example, “Car
search 1…,” “Car search 2….” If a matching entry is not wanted, it is automatically dismissed
when the user enters a character that does not match.
•
Note that the numeral is intended only to uniquely identify group names of that type (standard or
Multiple Images), created on that tablet, on that calendar day. It is not intended as a sequencing
number. For example, if a group is deleted, the numeral previously assigned to the deleted group
becomes available to be reassigned to a new group.
•
The roster of available numerals is reset for each calendar day (see
Section 9.1, Daily Gallery
Refresh
).
