ReadSoft FORMS system variables
Select System Variables dialog
Use the Select System Variables dialog to define which ReadSoft FORMS system variables are stored with the scanned data in ReadSoft FORMS. The ReadSoft FORMS system variables record scanning-related information and are not exported by UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper/Scan Add‑on Transfer.
The values of all of these system variables are set in ReadSoft FORMS. For some of the variables, you can optionally set their values yourself. For others, ReadSoft FORMS automatically defines the values.
