insert_page_break Separate is an Activity that sorts contract Batch Pages into individual folder Batch Folders. This distinguishes "loose pages" from the documents formed by those pages. Once loose pages are separated into Batch Folder documents, they can be further processed by unknown_document Classify, export_notes Extract, output Export and other Activities that need to run on the folder (i.e. document) level.

About

The Separate Activity runs Separation on a Batch.

Separation establishes "separation points" in a Batch according to the Separation Provider used. Batch Folder are inserted at these separation points, and Batch Pages are placed within them, creating distinct Document Folders out of unorganized loose pages.

The Separate Activity is added to a Batch Process as a Batch Process Step. There are two ways to configure the Separation Provider that tells Grooper how to separate the documents:

The Provider can be configured directly on a Batch Process Step.
The Provider can be configured on a Separation Profile and the Separation Profile can then be referenced on a Batch Process Step in a Batch Process.

How To

To use the Separate Activity, you will need to add a Batch Process Step to a Batch Process and set its Activity property to Separate.

First, right click on the Batch Process.
Hover over "Add Activity".
Hover over "Document Processing".
Click on "Separate...".

When the "Add Activity" window pops up, if so desired, you can change the name of the Batch Process Step. By default the name is set to the Activity chosen.
Click "Execute".

Now we have a Batch Process Step configured for Separate as part of the Batch Process in the node tree.
Here you can configure either a Separation Provider or reference a Separation Profile with the Separation details.

For more information regarding how to set up and reference a Separation Profile, please take a look at our Separation Profile article.
