STUB

This article is a stub. It contains minimal information on the topic and should be expanded.

This article is about an older version of Grooper.

Information may be out of date and UI elements may have changed.

Grooper Activities define specific document processing operations done to a inventory_2 Batch, folder Batch Folder, or contract Batch Page. In a settings Batch Process, each edit_document Batch Process Step executes a single Activity (determined by the step's "Activity" property).
Batch Process Steps are frequently referred by the name of their configured Activity followed by the word "step". For example: "Classify step".

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 can be either "attended" or "unattended".

Unattended Activities are automated. They are performed by Activity Processing services and do not require human interaction. Classify, for example, is an unattended 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. These are steps in a Batch Process where a user reviews Grooper's automated results, such as how it classified documents during the Classify activity.

Attended Activities

Review (Activity)

Review is the only user attended Activity in Grooper. Depending on what the user needs to review, one or more Review Viewers 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.

Unattended Activities

Cleanup and Recognition

These Activities are used to condition documents for further processing. They include the all important Recognize step, which obtains machine readable text from image-based and native-text pages.

Document Processing

These activities process documents in a variety of different ways. 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.

Transform

These activities transform document content from one form to another. The most commonly used Activity in this category is Split Pages which creates pages objects 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. 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 objects in Grooper.

+Every '''[[Batch Process Step]]''' in a '''Batch Process''' is assigned an "Activity Type", which determines what is executed on that step.
+There are activities to:
