In the document display of the transaction screen (under 'Edit transaction') it is possible to copy text from documents by selecting a rectangle in the document and then pasting it into a transaction field. This way you can easily transfer data from documents.
How does it work?
Activate the 'Select text' function in the document display (see image below).
Select the text you want to copy by drawing a rectangle with your mouse. If the text is copied successfully, the message "Text copied. [...]" appears in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Double-click the transaction field where you want to paste the text. Do you want to append the copied text to the field? Then hold CTRL while double-clicking.
Supported fields
Pasting copied text is supported in the following fields:
Text fields
Date fields
Amount fields
Points of attention
After pasting text, the copied text is no longer available to paste again.
For scanned documents and images it is only possible to copy text from the first fifty pages of the imported document.
Pasting dates and amounts is only possible if they have a valid format in the configured language/region of the user or in English.
