Major modules of ITeS:

IkEnterData – Data Capture and Quality Assurance module

IkEnterData is ITeS’s data entry module. This module helps in capturing data from images and hard copy documents. IkEnterData is a data capture module for high-end data capture in the bureau environment. IkEnterData has the following benefits:
  • High speed data capture
  • Easy manipulation of image while keying
  • Batches routed through various work-flow queues
  • Double-key facility
  • Comprehensive operator keying statistics
  • Built-in and programmer written validations
  • Pop-up list of values for lookup tables
  • Floating help for operator guidance
  • Detailed help messages to help in keying
  • On-line keying instructions

IkEnterStructure – Designer’s workbench

This module is used to create job and to define the following:
  • Design the data entry form
  • Validations for the fields in the form
  • Define the output format
  • Associate each field in the form to its corresponding areas in the image

ITeS Admin - Administrator's Desktop

Administrators Desktop (Admin) is the nerve centre of ITeS. This interface has been provided for monitoring the workflow for each job and its batches, viewing and analysing performance of the operators through statistics and reports, creating and managing user profiles. The Admin can be used to:
  • Create and manage users and maintain their privileges.
  • Manage the jobs and batches.
  • View the status of the Jobs and batches.
  • Export data to output files from completed batches.
  • View the operator statistics.
  • Manage backup and restore of data.
  • Fix corrupted data.

ITeSAccessManager - Manages Users and Privileges

ITeS AccessManager is the Master Maintenance Module of ITeS. This is the module from where Supervisor/Programmer as the case may be controls/Manages the following:
  • User access is restricted by - Application module - Job - Job Queue
  • Single login to all ITeS apps
  • Ensuring that only the registered version of the application exe is used.
  • Ability to register multiple versions of the app exe to allow restricted access to multiple app exe (eg. V1.0.0 for production, v1.0.1 for testing etc.)
  • User/Team assignment for easier management.
  • Create user defined queues for jobs
  • Job master maintenance to enable/disable jobs from production.

ITeS Import

ITeSImport is used to import the images, received from client, into ITeS application which will then be accessed by CSAs in ‘IkEnterData’ and Supervisors/Post-Processing person in ‘Admin’.

The images before importing to ITeS can be in many manners. It may be already grouped to form small batches having a fixed number of documents. It may also be under one folder where all other images, pertaining to one shipment date, are also copied. ITeSImport handles all these different manners and import the images to ITeS as per one job demands. Demands can vary from job to job. Generally, depending on the processing time that takes to capture on document or one image, it is decided that how many images one batch will have when it is being imported to ITeS by this application.
