Grooper Unattended Client (Application)

!!

LEGACY TECHNOLOGY DETECTED!! With the advent of the Grooper web client, the Grooper Unattended Client application is going away. It does not have a direct analog in the web client. Unattended Activities in a Batch Process are submitted as "Processing Jobs". An Activity Processing service picks up and processes each task in the Processing Job. Pending, working, stopped and completed Processing Jobs can be viewed from the "Jobs Page" in the web client.

The Grooper Unattended Client is part of the Grooper Product Suite. This program executes Unattended Activities. These are Activities in Grooper that are automated.

Extract, for example, is an Unattended Activity where data is extracted from documents, according to the Data Model associated with its Document Type.

Glossary

Activity Processing:

Activity Processing:

Activity: 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".

Batch Process: settings Batch Process nodes are crucial components in Grooper's architecture. A Batch Process is the step-by-step processing instructions given to a inventory_2 Batch. Each step is comprised of a "Code Activity" or a Review activity. Code Activities are automated by Activity Processing services. Review activities are executed by human operators in the Grooper user interface.

• Batch Processes by themselves do nothing. Instead, they execute edit_document Batch Process Steps which are added as children nodes.
• A Batch Process is often referred to as simply a "process".

Data Model: data_table Data Models are leveraged during the Extract activity to collect data from documents (folder Batch Folders). Data Models are the root of a Data Element hierarchy. The Data Model and its child Data Elements define a schema for data present on a document. The Data Model's configuration (and its child Data Elements' configuration) define data extraction logic and settings for how data is reviewed in a Data Viewer.

Document Type: description Document Type nodes represent a distinct type of document, such as an invoice or a contract. Document Types are created as child nodes of a stacks Content Model or a collections_bookmark Content Category. They serve three primary purposes:

1. They are used to classify documents. Documents are considered "classified" when the folder Batch Folder is assigned a Content Type (most typically, a Document Type).
2. The Document Type's data_table Data Model defines the Data Elements extracted by the Extract activity (including any Data Elements inherited from parent Content Types).
3. The Document Type defines all "Behaviors" that apply (whether from the Document Type's Behavior settings or those inherited from a parent Content Type).

Extract: export_notes Extract is an Activity that retrieves information from folder Batch Folder documents, as defined by Data Elements in a data_table Data Model. This is how Grooper locates unstructured data on your documents and collects it in a structured, usable format.
