Quick Fields 6 or 7 sessions must be converted to the Quick Fields 8 format. The conversion process will retain virtually all of a session's settings (process configuration, scan engine settings, metadata, etc.). This process can be performed in different ways.
Note: After the conversion process is complete, you may be prompted to update its metadata and/or connection information. For example, if the Quick Fields 6/7 session referred to a user name that no longer exists, you will be prompted to specify a new user name. More information.
Note: Converting a session from the 6/7 format to the 8 format will create a new file; it will not modify the original session. You can distinguish the two files by referring to their extensions: .qfs (6/7 format) and .qfx (8 format).
Tip: Due to the new features in Quick Fields 8, in some cases it is more efficient to create a new session than migrate an existing Quick Fields 6/7 session. For example, Roger's Quick Fields 7 session has three document classes, each of which rely on the OmniPage Zone OCR process to identify documents. This session would not be the most efficient approach in Quick Fields 8 since you now have the ability to perform this process once in the Pre-Classification Processing stage then add a Token Identification process in the three document classes. This approach would be more efficient since a session that contains one OmniPage Zone OCR process would perform faster than a session that contained three. Another example would be rebuilding a session vs. migrating it in order to take advantage of the Storage Processing stage.
