+An '''Activity''' in Grooper represents a unit of work performed on items within a [[Batch]] as part of a [[Batch Process]].

			For example, OCR data is obtained from pages via the Recognize activity. Processed documents are exported to a storage platform via the Export activity.

			Activities fall into one of two categories: "Code Activities" and "Attended Activities".
			* Code Activities are automated. They are performed by '''Activity Processing''' services and do not require human interaction.
			** There are over thirty different Code Activities in Grooper.
			** For example: Classify is a Code Activity where documents are classified according to a '''Content Model'''.

			*Attended Activities are ''not'' automated. The are performed by a human operator and require human interaction.

			** Review provides different user-interfaces, called "Viewers", to review different things. For example, the "Data Viewer" allows user to validate and correct data collected by the Extract activity.

			== Attended Activities ==

			[[Review]] is the only Attended Activity in Grooper. Depending on what the user needs to review, one or more "Review Views" will be added to the '''Review''' step. These give users a specialized user interfaces allowing them to review the '''Batch''' and its content. The following Review Viewers are currently available:
			* Scan Viewer - Gives users an interface to scan documents into a '''Batch''' using an optical scanner.
			* Thumbnail Viewer - Gives users an interface to review individual pages in a '''Batch'''. Typically this is used to review the results of an '''IP Profile''' applied by an '''''Image Processing''''' step.
			* Classification Viewer - Gives users an interface to review and edit classification results made by a '''Classify''' step.
			* Separation Viewer - Gives users an interface to review and edit separation and classification decisions made by the '''''[[ESP Auto Separation]]''''' provider during a '''''Separate''''' step.
			* Data Viewer - Gives users an interface to review and edit index data collected during the '''''Extract''''' step.
			* Folder Viewer - Gives users a basic interface to navigate through folders and pages in a '''Batch''' using a tree viewer.

			== Code Activities ==

			There are many more Code Activities in Grooper. They fall into the following categories:

			=== Cleanup and Recognition ===

			These Activities are used to condition documents for further processing.
			:*<li class="fyi-bullet"> The most commonly used Activity in this category is the all-important "Recognize" activity, which obtains machine readable text from image-based and native-text pages.

			* [[Correct]]
			* [[Detect Language]]
			* [[Image Processing]]
			* [[Recognize]]

			=== Document Processing ===

			These activities process documents in a variety of different ways.
			:*<li class="fyi-bullet"> This includes some of the most commonly used Grooper Activities, such as Separate, Classify, Extract and Export.

			* [[Apply Rules]]
			* [[Classify]]
			* [[Convert Data]]
			* [[Export]]
			* [[Extract]]
			* [[Redact]]
			* [[Separate]]

			=== Microform Processing ===

			These activities specifically apply to processing microfiche. For more information, visit our [[Microfiche Processing]] article.

			* [[Clip Frames]]
			* [[Detect Frames]]
			* [[Initialize Card]]

			=== Transform ===

			These activities transform document content from one form to another.
			:*<li class="fyi-bullet"> The most commonly used Activity in this category is "Split Pages" which creates pages nodes from a PDF file attached to a '''Batch Folder'''.

			* [[Burst Book]]
			* [[Merge]]
			* [[Render]]
			* [[Split Pages]]
			* [[Text Transform]]
			* [[Translate]]
			* [[XML Transform]]

			=== Utilities ===

			These are miscellaneous activities that don't fit in well into the other categories.
			:*<li class="fyi-bullet"> The most commonly used Activity in this category is "Execute" which gives users the capability to automate various object commands normally available by right clicking nodes in Grooper.

			* [[Deduplicate]]
			* [[Dispose Batch]]
