2023.1:Batch Process (Object)

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

Batch Processes are the sequential set of processing instructions given to a Batch.

Batch Processes are comprised of Batch Process Steps. Each step performs a different operation, or Activity, one after the other. Each step is assigned a single Activity. Different activities perform different document processing functions, such as obtaining OCR text, classifying documents, or extracting data fields.

Batch Processes are highly configurable and reusable by multiple Batches.

About

When a new Batch is created it uses a Batch Process as its list of instructions of what will be done to it. Grooper runs the Batch through the Batch Process, step by step, Activity by Activity, until the end of the Batch Process.

Batch Process Steps

Batch Process Steps are the individual processing instructions in a Batch Process.

Each step is assigned an Activity. Different Activities carry out different document processing tasks, such as obtaining OCR text, classifying documents, or extracting data fields.

Batch Process Steps have further configuration considerations, including:

• At what level (or Scope) in the Batch it occurs (Batch, Batch Folder or Batch Page)
• How much processing resources the Activity uses (done by assigning a Processing Queue)
• Conditional logic to determine if tasks are applied to individual folders or pages (via code expressions)
