Application Document

To access:  VOTER REGISTRATION > Application Forms > Select Image

This dialog is accessible only when the option VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Options > Use Scan First is selected. It displays the scanned image of a paper application side-by-side with the dialogs for processing voter applications, a method of processing called Scan First.

The image can be resized and rotated for easier viewing of voter-provided information. The dialog also has a mechanism for capturing a signature clip.

For more information, see Process Applications Using Scan First.

Fields and Controls on this Dialog

Zoom In/Zoom Out

Use these buttons to enlarge or reduce the size of the image onscreen. Use the right-side scroll bar to position the application so you can read what the voter entered.

Rotate

Use these arrows to rotate the scanned image to a more desirable orientation.

Clip Code

Assists you in creating a signature clip from the image.

A clip code is a pixel point on an image—defined as a horizontal (X) and a vertical (Y) position—that designates the position of the upper-left corner of the signature clip. Voter Focus calculates the location of the entire signature clip by using the clip code as a starting point. The captured area is displayed in the Signature Clip pane. The drop-down list contains preset clip codes for your county.

If one of these settings doesn't capture the area you want, you can clip it manually by clicking and dragging to form a box around the area where the voter's signature lies on the form.

Note:  The preset clip codes are specified in VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Options > Clip Codes. The clip code that appears first in the drop-down list is specified in VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Options > Image Indexing > Default Clip Code.

Mark Image As Bad

If the image is unreadable or corrupted in some way, click Mark Image As Bad to discard it. The image will no longer appear in the list on the Scanned Applications dialog and the notation "Bad_" is appended to its file name in the folder holding images awaiting indexing (typically I:\WorkSig).
Batch Comment/Add Image Comment Allows the user to add comments to the scanned image.
