Create an application plan‌

Perceptive Content stores the information you learn, using one of the application methods on a business application, in a container called an application plan.

An application plan contains one or more screens, where each screen represents a learned screen or window in your business application. When you create a screen, you capture data from your business application screen to create document index keys, called document keys, to link the image to the record in your business application.

Create a LearnMode application plan‌

The first step in creating a LearnMode application plan is to integrate your business application with Perceptive Content. Complete the following steps to connect to your business application.

  1. Start your business application and open the window that you want Perceptive Content to learn.
  2. Navigate to an active record.
  3. On the Perceptive Content toolbar, click Manage.
  4. In the Management Console expand the Application Plans tree, then click LearnMode.
  5. In the right pane, on the Applications tab, click New.

  7. Under Information, do the following actions:
    • Name- type a unique name for your application plan.
    • Description - type a description for your application plan.
    • Select Is active, if you want this application plan to be active and available to users.
  8. Under Application, do one of the following actions:
    • If you want Perceptive Content to identify the application or screen, do one of the following actions:

        2. Click Identify.
        3. In the Window Selector Starter dialog box, click Start.
        4. Point to the title bar of the host window and click the mouse button. The data captured from the host window appears in the Value box.
      • Class ID
        1. If you want Perceptive Content to identify the business application based on the class ID that is designated for the application, select Class ID from the Method list.
        2. Click Identify.
        3. In the Window Selector Starter dialog box, click Start.
        4. Point to the title bar of the host window and click the mouse button. The data captured from the host window appears in the Value box.
      • Application Name

        2. Click Identify.
        3. In the Window Selector Starter dialog box, click Start.
        4. Point to the title bar of the host window and click the mouse button. The data captured from the host window appears in the Value box.
    • If you want Perceptive Content to identify the application or screen based on a value you enter, do one of the following actions:
      • Window Title
        1. If you want Perceptive Content to identify the business application based on the name that displays in the title of the applications window, select Window Title from the Method list.

        3. Click Test. The system attempts to find the application window or screen with the given string in the Value box.

    • Application found
      • Perceptive Content has successfully connected to your business application. You can continue to the next step.
