An Array is one of many Collation Providers you can use in Grooper to combine or organize extracted data based on the data's layout relationship.

About

Array is one of the Collation Providers and can be used for data organization depending on what you want to extract from your documents. All of the Collation Providers (except for Individual) essentially take multiple results and combine them into one. Array specifically only returns results based on the orientation of the information. If the data is lined up horizontally or vertically, you must select the corresponding layout property for Grooper to return the information.

Essentially, an Array collated result is a collection of results who share a layout relationship that are all lined up together (either horizontally, vertically, or in the left/right and top/bottom text flow of the document).

⚠	The Array collation differs from the Ordered Array collation in one significant way. In an Ordered Array the order of the data matters. For the Array Collation Provider the data can be in any order and will all be returned as one result.
