Scripting functionality in Ephesoft is supported where a custom requirement can be handled. Ephesoft includes power to perform custom functionality during different stages of batch processing. This functionality is supported through the scripts present inside batch class folder in Scripts folder. These scripts are Java scripts which access batch.xml through two techniques: DOM Parser and JDOM Parser. All the scripts present should be developed using one of the earlier mentioned parser only.

Batch Instance Group Feature

This feature is used to provide the roles on the batch instance. If user role have an access to batch instance using batch instance group feature than that batch will display on the BatchList screen. User will able to review/validate the same batch instance.

For this feature we are introduced the new database table “batch_instance_groups” for storing the batch instance identifier and user roles. This table stores all the mapped user roles with the batch instances.

Database Structure:

Method for assigning roles in batch instance group table:

public void assignedBatchInstanceGroup(String batchInstanceIdentifier, String userRole) throws DCMAException

Configurable parameters:

Example file: ScriptDocumentAssembler_BatchInstanceGroupFeature.java

Force Review Feature

The following is the implementation of the ForceReview feature:

1. A new tag is added to the batch.xml for any document level field by the name ForceReview. Assumption: This “ForceReview“ tag will come into play only if the document containing it is invalid.
2. This tag is not mandatory. If it does not exist(or the value of it is not “true”) for a document level field, the functionality will work as earlier.
3. When this batch opens on the RV Screen, and this tag is found with a value “true” (for an invalid document):
   1. Before the user saves the document once(by pressing CTRL+s/S or CTRL+q/Q) this field will appear RED(irrespective of REGEX validation).
   2. Once the user presses CTRL+s/S or CTRL+q/Q on a certain field, we will make the value of the tag forceReview “False” for that field and the field will now get validated according to the earlier functionality (REGEX validation).

It is expected that it will be the responsibility of the script to handle the setting of the ForceReview tag in sync with the document validity setting.

The ForceReview tag of a field will not make a document invalid. It will only prevent a document level field from getting validated(in a document in an invalid state) if set to true.

This ForceReview tag won’t exist by default(before validation).

Provided is a sample script for the generation of this ForceReview tag(or modifying it if it is already present) with a value “true” for every alternate(note the i+=2 in the script) document level field encountered in a batch.xml.

Example file: Force_Review_Feature_SampleScript.java

ScriptAddNewTable.java

The Add New Table script is useful for being able to generate a predefined table on the fly in the Validation view.

Example Scenario:

If you are processing invoice documents and have defined table extraction during the normal means, it is still possible that if the document is of poor image quality the table you have defined for extraction may not be detected, or may be incomplete. In this case, you can use the Add New Table script to automatically generate a table for your invoice document type with the click of a button. You could create a new empty table of your required structure, or even a populated one… using other extracted values from the documents fields to populate the table values from a database table.

Example file: ScriptAddNewTable.java

ScriptAutomaticValidation.java

The Automatic Validation script is executed in the Ephesoft Batch Class work flow prior to reaching the Validation stage. This is the opportune time to implement any custom logic you may require by running verification against the values that have been extracted for the fields defined.

Example Scenario:

You may wish you to retrieve the extracted value from one field, perhaps a Social Security Number, and use it to perform a look-up operation to an external database, retrieving an associated name. You could then in turn us the results of these SQL query to populate the values of other document level fields defined in Ephesoft.

Example location: {Ephesoft_install_directory}\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

Example file: ScriptAutomaticValidation.java

ScriptDocumentAssembler.java

The Document Assembler script is executed in the Ephesoft Batch Class work flow following the Page Processing Module, and Prior to reaching the Document Review stage. At this point the batch .xml has undergone Ephesoft’s classification routines and the batch’s contents are structured into documents, with confidence scores assigned. However, perhaps you have a unique situation where the default Ephesoft classification behavior alone will not organize your batch’s documents as your require. This script is the ideal location to implement any logic to customize the classification organization of your batch. Although Document Level Fields are not yet present in the batch .xml at this point, page level fields are making Script

Example Scenario:

You may be using cover sheets to aid in the classification accuracy for your documents. However by the time the work flow reaches the ScriptDocumentAssembler Ephesoft’s classification routines have already worked their magic and you may no longer have any use for the cover sheets. You can use this script to define some logic to remove the first page of every document, which in this case would be the cover sheets.

We’ve provided as an example resource, a script that does exactly this: ScriptDocumentAssembler_remove-1st-page.java

ScriptExport.java

The Export script is executed in the Ephesoft Batch Class work flow during the processing of the Export Module. At this point all of Ephesoft’s separation, classification, extraction, and validation have been performed and the batch is in the process of leaving the Ephesoft system. Consequently, ScriptExport.java is the ideal place to implement logic facilitating custom export requirements.

Example Scenario #1: As a batch is leaving the Ephesoft system, you may intend to import its .xml and image files into a document repository system. Your targeted system may have its own internal XML schema for describing its contents, and to make the transition a seamless one you want to consider applying an XSLT translation to the Ephesoft batch .xml so that it can be automatically imported and recognized by its destination system without manual effort.

Example Scenario #2: Perhaps you have a specific document management system such as FileBound in mind. FileBound uses Divider and Separator values to index its contents. Ephesoft provides a FileBound Plugin in the Export Module. However, in addition to this you can implement logic in the ScriptExport.java file to populate the batch documents’ divider and separator fields based on a captured extraction value, barcode, or other means. Through Ephesoft scripting you could use an extracted barcode value as a look up key in a SQL query to an external database table to retrieve the appropriate divider and separator values for a given document type.

Example location: {Ephesoft_install_directory}\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

Example file: ScriptExport.java

ScriptExtraction.java

The Extraction script, although similar in sequence position to the ScriptAutomaticValidation.java, is useful for the purpose of separating extraction from validation.

Example Scenario:

Assume you have some OMR field extraction defined to extract check boxes denoting credit card type. For example there could three boxes total, signifying a choice of visa, american express, or mastercard. If filled out correctly the form should only have a check mark in one of the boxes. RecoStar OMR extraction will represent these three check boxes as a three character string of binary values, with the box containing a mark being represented by a “1” value (the others, “0”). Your Extraction script function could analyze the binary values to determine which of the three credit card vendors is being represented and set a document level field value to a string value of “visa”, “amex”, or “mastercard”.

Example location: {Ephesoft_install_directory}\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

ScriptFieldValueChange.java

The Field Value Change script can be toggled through the Ephesoft Validation Module, and when enabled will fire when the value of a field is changed in the user Validation View. This can be extremely useful if you want to have the changes you make to one field automatically produce a change in value of one or more other fields.

Example Scenario #1:

Consider the case where you have a field that is of the drop down list type. This field contains a list of various departments within an organization (eg: HR, IT, etc). In addition to this field you have another drop down field that serves as a list of users. You can use the Field Change script to implement logic such that change the department value for field #1 will automatically update the drop down list of field #2 with users that correspond to that newly selected department.

Example Scenario #2:

Perhaps you have had a document arrive in Validation View with a loan number field that has been extracted, and some corresponding fields that contain information related to the loan number. However, consider if the loan number is incorrect, and your user manually needs to change it. Instead of having to also manually look up and change all of the corresponding fields, the Field Change Value script could make it so that changing the Loan Number field value automatically performs a look up operation to a database and populates the additional fields with the information on file for that loan number.

Example location: {Ephesoft_install_directory}\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

Example file: ScriptFieldValueChange.java

FunctionKey.java

The Function Key script allows for multiple methods to be defined within the FunctionKey.java and have these individual methods bound to keys on the users keyboard to act as keyboard shortcuts for executing pieces of custom functionality.

Example Scenario:

Consider that you may have a default set of values for a given document type that you want the option to populate its fields with in Validation View at the push of a button. In FunctionKey.java you would implement a method to set the fields of that document type to a set of default values. In the Ephesoft Validation Module you can define the Function Key that you want to associate with this method. You must specify both the name of the function as well as the key that you wish you bind it to. Having done so you should now see the Function Key that you specified as an icon in the Validation View. The custom function key method can now be invoked by clicking this button or striking the specified key itself.

Example location: {Ephesoft_install_directory}\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

Example file: ScriptFunctionKey.java

ScriptPageProcessing.java

The Page Processing script is useful for conducting operations on the XML representation of a batch’s pages before they have undergone classification and encapsulation into documents.

Example Scenario:

To reduce batch processing time it is possible to use ScriptPageProcessing to remove pages that are ‘garbarge’ and don’t contain valid OCR data. You could implement a function that would iterate through the collection of pages, and from each page element retrieve the corresponding OCR file (.html) and image file name. If the OCR data for the page is nonexistent, and the original image size is below a certain threshold you can deem the page to be junk and remove it from the batch .xml. By removing these useless pages your batch will be able to traverse the rest of the batch class workflow more efficiently and with an improved processing time.

Example location: {Ephesoft_install_directory}\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

ScriptValidation.java

The Validation script differs from the Automatic Validation script in that it is run during the user Validation User Interface experience, where as Automatic Validation executes and performs custom validation steps immediately before the batch is presented to the user in the Validation UI. The benefit is this is that as the user is making changes to the document field values in the Valdiation UI, the Validation Script can be triggered to run after each change to ensure that the changes are put through custom validation processing requirements.

Example Scenario:

You may have some a document level field, AccountNum, where the value being extracted should correspond to an existing account number in an external database. Perhaps due to poor image quality, the OCR’d value for the account number is either incomplete or incorrect and so the document appears in Validation with its field highlighted in red. The user is able to see the corresponding image and keys in what they believe to the the account number appearing on the image, but you want to ensure that they haven’t made a mistake and what they are inputting is indeed a valid account number. In this case it is possible to implement a function that takes the value of the AccountNum field and performs a database look up to verify that the value does in fact exist. This check can run each time after the user has modified the AccountNum document field value and attempts to save their changes.

Ephesoft Plugin Dev

Creating Sample Plugin

In order to create a new plugin, following steps need to be implemented:

Download the plugin code sample Download Now

1. Click on “File -> New -> Other…” option.

2. Type “maven” and select “Maven project” from the list shown below.

3. Check the “Create a simple project” option and click “Next”.

4. Fill in the particulars for “Artifact” i.e. details about new project. These details include

1. “Group Id”: group id for the project as per maven artifacts standards

2. “Artifact Id”: artifact id, i.e. representation name for the plugin for use in various other projects.

3. “Version”: version of the plugin.

4. “Packaging”: type of packaging to be used for the project. In our application we use “jar” packaging.

After entering the above details for the new plugin, click on “Finish”.

5. The structure shown below will be generated for the current project which includes the following:

1. “src” package: used for the storing the source code and resources used by the plugin.

2. “target” package: used for storing the target files i.e. the <b.“.class”</b> files, “.jar” files of the plugin.

3. “pom.xml” file: contains the information about the plugin.

Now start creating desired package structure for the project by right clicking on the “java” package and selecting the “new→others” option and selecting the “package”.

6. Type the hierarchical structure of the project and click on “Finish”.

7. Above operation will create a package structure shown below.

8. Create the desired files and corresponding folders for the plugin. Sample files can be found in the sample source code as well.

9. Now that the plugin is ready with all the content, right click on the project name, go to “Run As” option and from the list shown choose “Maven Build”.

10. A pop up window for editing the “Run/Debug” configuration will open up. In the “Goals” field, type “clean install”, check the “offline” and “Skip Tests” options and then click “Apply”.

11. For creating the jar file for the plugin following settings need to be taken care of:

1. Goto maven repository. Default path for the same is C:\Documents and Settings\{user-name}\.m2\repository folder.

2. Create the folder structure com\ephesoft\dcma\ephesoft\<VERSION_NUMBER> inside the repository folder.

3. Copy and paste the Ephesoft.jar inside the folder.

4. Rename Ephesoft.jar to Ephesoft-<Version_Number>.jar.

5. In the “pom.xml” file for the plugin make the following entry

<dependencies>

<dependency>

<groupId>com.ephesoft.dcma</groupId>

<artifactId>ephesoft</artifactId>

<version><VERSION_NUMBER></version>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

6. Now that we have defined the dependencies for the plugin, we can use the existing code contained within the “ephesoft-<VERSION_NUMBER>.jar” for the desired purpose.

12. Click on “Run”, this will run the maven project and make its “jar”. A .jar file corresponding to the plugin will be created in the target folder for the same.

Advanced Implementation Steps

1. “Pre Processing” settings: In order to perform some desired work before running a plugin we can create a method in the plugin code file having “@PreProcess” annotation.

2. “Post Processing” settings: In order to perform some desired work after running a plugin we can create a method in the plugin code file having “@PostProcess” annotation.

3. We use the above settings in our application for creating a back up file for batch.xml before and after the plugin has processed which helps us defining the change a plugin has made to the “batch.xml” files for the batch being processed.

4. Sample function for the above scenario:

@PreProcess

public void preProcess(final BatchInstanceID batchInstanceID, String ::pluginWorkflow) }

Assert.notNull(batchInstanceID);

BackUpFileService.backUpBatch(batchInstanceID.getID());

}

@PostProcess

public void postProcess(final BatchInstanceID batchInstanceID, String pluginWorkflow) {

Assert.notNull(batchInstanceID);

BackUpFileService.backUpBatch(batchInstanceID.getID());

}

Use these settings in the new plugin in order to maintain consistency with the current conventions and workflow of the application.

5. BackUpFileService can be used to create backup xml files for the respective plugin.

Workflow Management

Introduction

• Establishments:

• A batch class is made of modules, which in turn consist of plugins.

• Dependencies between modules are only a result of the dependencies that exist between plugins.

Inference: By handling the dependencies that exist between plugins, we can create the Validation framework.

• Addition of a new tab in the admin view for workflow management by the name of “Workflow Management” containing the following:

• “Plugins List”: List of plugins already present.

• “Add New Plugin” button: For adding a new plugin.

• “Dependencies” button: On being clicked it will take user to a screen where it can manage the dependencies among the plugins.

• “Help” button: On being clicked the user will be shown a pop-up message containing the information about the new plugin upload.

• “Add New plugin”: a plugin upload widget will open up. See the screenshot below

• “Browse”: a file selection window will open up.

• “Save”: this will save the plugin to the DB after validating the files.

• “Cancel”: this will cancel the operation.

• This widget will accept a .zip file for uploading.

• Contents of the zip file:

• .Jar file: The Jar for the plugin to be added.

• .Xml file: containing the plugin information.

• .Zip file must only contain these two files.

• .Zip file and .Jar file must have the same name.

• .Jar file content cannot be verified, so please make sure that they are as required.

• In order for this plugin to take effect, user needs to restart the tomcat server.

• Note:

• This Zip file after successful validation of its contents will be stored in the location specified in “<DCMA_HOME>\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\application.properties” file under the property named “plugin_upload_folder_path”.

• The JPDL file for the uploaded plugin will be stored at <Ephesoft-Shared-Folders\workflows\plugins\<PLUGIN_NAME> . This path is configurable in the dcma-batch.properties file.

Validation on above XML

• All tags are compulsory and will have any string value, except for “is-scripting”,” is-mandatory” and “is-multivalue” tags which will have Boolean values (TRUE, FALSE).

• jar-name tag value must match the name of the jar file present in the zip file.

• If “is-scripting” tag has a value “TRUE”, only then the values of “back-up-file-name” and “script-name” tag will be taken into account.

• “plugin-property” and “dependency” tag can have multiple instances and have the values for plugin configs and dependencies respectively.

Assumptions

• “plugin-service-instance” and “method-name” tags must be correct as they cannot be validated. • “application-context-path” refers to the application context file name for the plugin. • For the dependencies tag:

• For a new plugin, with dependencies as

o ORDER_BEFORE : P2,P3/P4,P5,P6/P7/P8

o UNIQUE : TRUE

o OR (/) operator and AND (,) operator are also supported for specifying complex dependencies.

Integrating External Applications with Ephesoft Validation

Ephesoft allows its customers to develop external modules or applications and integrate them to work together with Ephesoft. This section gives in depth details on how to integrate external modules with Ephesoft’s Validation module.

External modules/applications are technology independent and can be written in any language HTML/JavaScript or GWT or JSP/Servelt or combination of both.

Integrated application or module will be displayed in the Review Validation screen as Modal Window. The Right Hand shows the image of the documents where as Left Hand shows the integrated application/module.

Review Validation Screen

There are shortcut keys as well as buttons defined to fire an External Application for a batch on the Review Validate UI. (App 1, App4, App2, App 3 as can be seen in the above UI)

When the shortcut key or the App button is pressed, the integrated application or module will be displayed in the Review Validation screen as Modal Window.

In the image below, the Right Hand side shows the image of the documents whereas the Left Hand side shows the integrated application/module.

External Application

IMPORTANT: batch.xml must be updated by the external application. On the click of OK button, Ephesoft simply loads the updated batch.xml.

Follow below steps to for module integration:

1. Let’s assume your application is available at http://localhost:8080/dcma/ExternalApp.html.

2. Login to the Ephesoft Admin Module (Batch Class Management).

3. Navigate to Batch Class -> Modules -> Validate Document module -> Validate Document plugin.

4. Assign URL of the application (http://localhost:8080/dcma/ExternalApp.html) to one of the shortcuts, such as CTRL+8. It is possible to assign multiple applications to multiple shortcuts as you can see below:

Closing the external application modal window:

As you can see in the screenshot of the External Application on the review-validate screen, there were two buttons present for closing the external application (earlier).

The OK button provided the functionality of refreshing and displaying refreshed content (on the review-validate screen) for the batch that has been modified through the external application.

The CLOSE button simply goes back to the review-validate screen without refreshing the content of the batch, assuming that no changes have been made to the batch.xml by the external application.

Now we have removed the extra click that the user has to do in case of refreshing the screen or closing the pop updialog window.

Now both the functionalities (i.e. refreshing the screen after batch.xml updates or closing the pop up window without refreshing the Review Validate Screen) will be the implemented via third party applications. We have provided a handle to the externally integrated applications by means of which they can communicate with the Ephesoft Application.

We have removed the ok and close buttons. External applications need to copy the below mentioned method in their code. They need to invoke this method on the respective button (ok or close) calls which they have implemented. External applications will signal Ephesoft to perform respective operations by passing the appropriate operation string in the method argument. Accepted operation strings are listed in the table below.

Method code for GWT based applications:

private native void fireEvent(String operation) /*-{

window.top.postMessage(operation,”*”);

}-*/;

Method code for Javascript based applications:

function fireEvent(var operation) {window.top.postmessage(operation, “*”);}

The action performed by us in accordance to the argument passed to this method in the external application’s code:

How to use the External Application:

It is expected that the external application would play around with the data contents of the documents (i.e. the batch) presently being displayed on the review validate screen. (For which the external app is fired)

Hence we provide the external application the following two parameters appended in its URL, using which the external app can fetch/modify/delete the contents of the batch:

• Path of the batch.xml for the current batch: The batch.xml contains the information regarding the batch. We provide the batch.xml path, which the ::external app can parse and play around with as and when it likes.

The parameter is specified in the URL by: “batch_xml_path”

Encoding of Batch xml path parameter:

The batch xml path is encoded using java.net.URLEncoder and UTF-8 encoding.

• Document Identifier: The identifier of the document in focus is also passed onto the external application. The parameter is specified in the URL by: “document_id”

Sample URL fired for an external app by Ephesoft:

{Ext. App URL}&document_id={Document Identifier}&batch_xml_path={Path of batch.xml}&ticket={Security Token}

Or

{Ext. App URL}?document_id={Document Identifier}&batch_xml_path={Path of batch.xml}&ticket={Security Token}

External Application and Security:

We are generating a dynamic token for every External Application window which is opened via Ephesoft Application. This token is sent to the External App by appending another parameter “ticket” in the External App URL. Once this token is received by the External App, it can hit the below provided URL for checking the authenticity of the token.

http://{EphesoftServerIP}:{port}/dcma/authenticate?ticket={ticket}

Ephesoft Server in response will send a status code as to whether this ticket is valid or not:

• Status Code 200 – Authorized

• 401 – Unauthorized

The token is issued as soon as the user opens the external application window. A valid token becomes invalid once:

• Token has already been sent to the Ephesoft server for authentication.
• One hour after this token has been issued.

Configuring the Title of External Applications through the admin UI

We have eliminated the Application URL from the title of External App Window. Title is now configurable through the Admin UI. We have eliminated the Application URL from the title of External App Window. Title is now configurable through the Admin UI.

Netbeans IDE Setup

• Download & install the latest version of the NetBeans IDE: http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html

  Launch Netbeans IDE

• Create a new Java Application Project:

• To implement and build the Ephesoft scripting classes the Ephesoft.jar file must be added under the project dependencies.

• Browse to the location of your Ephesoft installation’s library folder and locate Ephesoft.jar. The default path on the server machine is: C:\Ephesoft\Application\WEB-INF\lib

• As a point of reference for Ephesoft script development you can examine the script files that are packaged with the default batch classes Ephesoft ships with.

  C:\Ephesoft\SharedFolders\BC1\scripts

• This screenshot depicts and implementation of the ScriptExtraction.java class file. However in this case a main() method has been added to allow for testing & debugging by execution within the class.

• At this stage the main() method has been implemented to allow for the reading in of an Ephesoft batch .xml file, and passing that Document object to the ScriptExtraction execute() method.

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		try {
			SAXBuilder sb = new SAXBuilder();
			Document doc = sb.build("BI10A_batch.xml");
			ScriptExtraction extractor = new ScriptExtraction();
			extractor.execute(doc, null, null);
		} catch(Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

• With the main() method in place it is now possible to execute the ScriptExtraction class. Successful execution is confirmed by the print statements in the NetBeans output section.

extractFixedForm

Ephesoft Fixed Form Extraction Web Service API[edit]

Overview

This API extracts the value of document level fields present in the given document type from the image provided. The extraction of the pages will be done based on the project processing file mapped to the pages first, second, third and last. For Windows a default page processing file is picked from the default location as defined in the environment variables in case no file is mapped. In case of Linux if no files are mapped against the pages, no extraction is performed.

Input Parameters

Input parameters to the Web Service API would be two files

• Tiff/PNG (single page or multipage)
• XML file, with document type and batch class identifier as parameters.

Web Service URL http://{serverName}:{port}/dcma/rest/extractFixedForm

Note:

• Values highlighted in blue should be replaced with corresponding values while executing the Web service for uploading Files for learning.
• Parameters page_type_first, page_type_middle, page_type_last are not mandatory.

Check List:-

Before uploading following points need to ensured first:

1. XML and other required learning files are attached with the request.
2. Name of learning files mentioned in the XML must match with the file name uploaded with the request.
3. XMl format must be same as it shown in Sample XML format. Don’t rearrange the xml elements.
4. batch_class_id, doc_type_name, learning_type, are mandatory information and must need to be specified. User cannot omit these fields.
5. If user don’t upload file for particular page type(first, middle and last). He can omit the whole block. (Starting from page_type_first, page_type_middle or page_type_last ).
6. All the upload information need to be uploaded in single XML file. User cannot split information across different XML and then upload all of them. Only 1 xml will be allowed at a time.
7. In a xml file there needs to be single batch_class_id, but there can be multiple <doc_type>. Inside a doc_type there can only one doc_type_name, learning_type , page_type_first, page_type_middle, page_type_last block.
8. If learning files for a particular page folder(ex. First page) are getting uploaded in a single file zip. Zip folder need to follow a specific structure. {zipfileName.zip} > {zipFileName folder} >{file1, file 2, file3 and so on}. Zip file name and first folder name inside zip file needs to be same.

CopyDocumentType

This Web Service API is used to copy an Existing document type for a batch class to create new document type. It takes an XML as input containing information like Existing Document type Name, New Document type name its Description and confidence threshold and output of this API is new document type in line with existing document type.

Request Method: POST

Web Service URL:

[ http://{serverName}:{port}/dcma/rest/batchClass/copyDocumentType]

Input Parameters for the Web Service a as follows:

which is to be copied through Web service API.NEW_DOC_TYPE_NAMEThis value should be unique name for new document type created.This parameter should unique name for new document type which is to be created.NEW_DOC_TYPE_DESCRIPTIONThis value should contain description for new document type created.This parameter should description for new document type which is to be created.CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLDValue should be between 0.0 to 100.0 inclusive of both values.This parameter should contain confidence threshold value, between 0 to 100 for new document type.

””Sample Input XML :

<Copy_Document_Type>

    <Batch_Class_Id>BATCH_CLASS_ID</Batch_Class_Id> 
    <Existing_Doc_Type_Name>EXISTING_DOC_TYPE_NAME</Existing_Doc_Type_Name>
    <New_Document_Type>
         <Name>NEW_DOC_TYPE_NAME</Name>
         <Description>NEW_DOC_TYPE_DESCRIPTION</Description>
       <Confidence_Threshold>CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD</Confidence_Threshold>
    </New_Document_Type>

</Copy_Document_Type>
