Form Processing

The Purpose of the Form Processor:

Uploaded scanned images in the processing queue are moved to the incoming images table in the database of FormReturn's server. The images are then analyzed by the Form processor and the Processed response data is then moved to Captured Data and reconciled with the published form template it belongs to.

Estimate the processing time of images and the time left until images are finished processing.

To show the amount of time the Form Processor has been running. You can choose to have the form processor start automatically when the server starts up.
