The Grooper Data Inspector is a UI Element that can be found anywhere there is a Document Viewer showing extraction results. This UI Element allows a user to inspect the Data Instance hierarchies of an extracted result.


About

The Data Inspector is a UI Element that allows you to inspect an extracted Data Instance to see the instance hierarchy and extraction logic. The Data Inspector is good for gaining a better understanding of how extraction works and is useful for troubleshooting extraction problems.

How to

Inspecting an instance

  1. In your Node Tree, navigate to and select a configured Value Reader or Data Type.
  2. Click over to the Tester tab.
  3. In the Results Panel located in the bottom right of the screen below the Document Viewer, we can see all of the results returned by the Extractor object.
  4. Select a single result in the Results panel.
  5. Click the Data Inspector icon located in the top right of the Results panel.
  6. The Data Inspector should open up in a new tab in your web browser.


There are four main panels that comprise the Data Inspector:

  1. The Data Hierarchy Panel - Located in the top left of the Inspector.
    • This will show you not only what is extracted, but also any hierarchy contained within the extraction.
  2. The Properties Panel - Located in the bottom left of the Inspector.
    • You cannot edit these properties. It is informational only.
  3. The Results Panel - Located in the bottom right of the Inspector.
    • This panel shows the text of the extracted result based on the selected instance in the Hierarchy panel. It will also show you how the data will appear when extracted into a Data Element like a Data Field.
  4. The Document Viewer - Located in the top right of the Inspector.
    • The extracted value of the instance selected in your Hierarchy panel will be highlighted in green on the page.
