• HostServe will check keys on a page and then determine what recipe it will use to repurpose the document. This gives the page a Document Type.
• HostServe can take in any text document and repurpose it based on its document type . This is done by defining the areas of the page and defining the changes. These page areas are called “Viewports”. The Viewport specifications and the required changes are contained in a document Recipe.
• Viewports allow HostServe to selectively look at specific areas of the page for data that is needed later in the document process.
• HostServe will go through each of the Viewport areas sequentially and extract the data into separate tags for recipe processing.
• Viewports are commonly triggered by the contents of the page, as the Viewports defined for Page 1 would not meet the criteria necessary to process Page 2.
• Viewports can float up and down the page. An example of this would be a bill with a total that may appear at various places on the page depending on the number of items billed.
• Customer can have as many Viewports on a page as desired.
• Recipes can control data triggering of:
  • Text, reformatting, additions, deletions
  • Line Draw Graphics
  • Barcodes, OMR Marks
  • Charts, Business Graphics
  • Images, Sales Person, Contract, etc.
