Internet Explorer 11 When using Internet Explorer 11, icons disappear after a page refresh. A hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) helps fix the issue.
Customer service: 422 and 526

With ABBYY FineReader Engine in IQ Bot, the text segments / system identified regions (SIRs) for some documents get offset or are not generated, creating problems with mapping.

With ABBYY FineReader Engine, for some documents, the SIRs are not generated as expected.
- In production, the Validator is unable to make auto-suggestions for Japanese unicode, requiring a fix to a third party library.
Service Cloud: 00342272 Classifier worker keeps on creating duplicates of the number classifier executors, using more system resources (primarily CPU, and secondarily RAM) than necessary, that slows down IQ Bot.
Service Cloud: 00331297 Documents are stuck in processing without completing classification, and an error message is displayed.
Customer Service: 146 Optical character recognition (OCR) accuracy can impact light colored fonts.
- The red icon and red highlighted text boxes, indicating a validation error for a field, can disappear if the user clicks on the field but moves to a different field without making any corrections.
- The IQ Bot dashboard does not always show accurate metrics (for example, number of documents processed) for standard forms that get processed.
- During IQ Bot uninstall process, the Finish screen displays incorrect version information of the third party components.
-
Standard form documents in IQ Bot:
Learning instances, created with a domain for standard forms, cannot be exported/imported with IQ Bot.
- User is able to register IQ Bot in the Control Room with an incorrect URL.
- During the processing of IQ Bot extensions, the blue bounding boxes do not completely cover the extracted text.
- In the Validator, when correcting errors for a IQ Bot extensions document:
  • user is unable to see the highlighted value in the document.
  • on selecting a bounding box on the document, the value does not get extracted to the field text box.
