Allowing your Users to Report Issues
Revisiting your projects every once in a while is a great idea, and when talking to key users they often will confirm that there are some issues with the setup. Yet, their answers usually are[…]
Reading Barcodes in KTA
Even without Transformation Server, TotalAgility is absolutely capable of reading barcodes during scan time. However, how can you access said barcodes and store them in a variable? This article will cover the creation of a[…]
Writing a Download Handler for KTA
As much as I like KTA’s Forms and especially the WebCapture control, there’s no out-of-the box solution for downloading files. Just imagine: while the control can display (most) files including PDF and office formats, you[…]
Viewing Documents in any Activity
What if you wanted to allow users to optionally attach documents to any process or case? How difficult would it be to display them? What’s the best approach, should we use a folder variable or document sets?[…]
Fuzzy Database Queries from Script (revised)
Querying a fuzzy database in Kofax Transformations can be a hassle – if you are to follow the official script sample provided with KTM/KTA. For once, it’s overly complicated, outdated and not all parts of the[…]
Agile Academy and what I learned
I was excited to join Kofax’ Agile Academy here in Vienna. There were many questions I had: would there be many others in EMEA working (and struggling) with Kofax TotalAgility? What is everyones level of[…]
Scripting with Style
Let’s face it: even without the zero-code approach in KTA, you will reach a certain point where a script locator will do the job much quicker than anything else. In Kofax Transformations (formerly KTM), scripting[…]

Monitoring the Import Connector
When you want to import electronic documents into KTA or KC, the Kofax Import Connector (KIC) is your best option. Sometimes however, KIC will stop importing documents, leaving many customers clueless about what’s happening (or[…]
The Real Classification Problem
Quite often, I find both partners and customers overwhelmed with the task of document classification in KTM. And surprisingly often the classification challenge is not a technical or mathematical, but a conceptual one. In this[…]
Stop Focusing on Accuracy!
I’m often approached by customers – mainly project managers or process owners – asking me for assistance on assessing the current state of their capture processes (or former projects). Most interestingly, one thing that I[…]
The Missing Array Functions
The year is 2015 and we still have to use WinWrap Basic when it comes to Transformations (KTM’s Project Builder or KTA’s Transformation Designer). As it is unlikely that this will change very soon, why[…]
The Magic behind Fuzzy Database Search
Have you ever used the Database Lookup in one of Kofax’ products? Were you always wondering how this ingenious little helper retrieves records in the blink of an eye, even with tens or hundred of[…]
KTA: Populating Drop-Downs on Forms
Drop-Down controls allow your users to select a single item from a list. As there are different methods of populating said lists, this article tries to shed some light on which method is more suitable[…]
KTA: The Search for Resources
When I started working with KTA just the other day, I built many sample processes, along with those included in Kofax’ computer-based training. Well, that included the creation of many users and groups (called Resources[…]
Email testing in KTA
