Properties View
The tabs of the Properties View are:
| Tab | Description |
| General | This tab contains the field area coordinates which can be modified by either dragging the outlined field in the Image View or by modifying its values in the Tree View. |
| ScanFix Xpress | The ScanFix Xpress settings are recommended as they improve the image, allowing the external engines to process the contents of the field, rather than the irrelevant marks on the original form image. See the ScanFix Xpress Properties topic for more details. |
| Dropout | This tab allows you to choose how the field image is created. See the Dropout properties topic for more information. |
