Set up simple tick boxes or multiple option tick boxes in a variety of styles.
eTimeSaver reads handwriting most effectively when it is laid out in a constrained print field, with one character per box.
To capture machine-printed text.
For quickly capturing more complex fields such as “Other Comments:” by either predictive typing, coding or manual entry.
Many industry-standard bar codes can be read from scanned images including two-dimensional bar codes such as PDF417.
Confirm if a form has been authorised with a signature.
How to optimise paper timesheets for scanning
A structured timesheet template improves the processing of the scanned document, reduces manual intervention, and increases capture rates.
The phrase structured form template refers to the consistency of objects on a template. Most templates are highly structured with form ID blocks and data entry fields are in the same place on every copy of the form. For example, one “timesheet” will have the same structure as every other “timesheet”, even though the data entry fields contain different values.

Constrained print fields
Handwriting is most effectively read by ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) technology when it is laid out in a constrained print field, with one character per box.
Form designers can add a constrained print field to gather data such as names, dates, and numeric figures. The boxes act as guides for the person filling out the form, with one dedicated space for each letter, number or character in the response.
Barcodes
Form identification block
Form identification blocks help with page rotation (where the sheet is scanned upside down) and timesheet identification for reconciliation. It will also help with version control should future versions of the form need to be used in parallel with older but very similar forms.
Signature field
eTimesaver allows you to add a signature field to checks forms have been authorised.
The software will calculate the fill percentage of the field to determine whether it was signed or not. Signature fields will be extracted and stored as an image.
Add variable data
Once form templates are created, information from a database e.g. personal information may need to be merged with data entry fields on the form prior to distribution via PDF, print, fax or eMail.
