2.90:Event-Based Separation (Separation Provider)

Event-Based Separation is a Separation Provider that separates documents using one or more "Separation Events". Each Separation Event triggers the creation of a new folder.

The events are as follows:

• • Blank Page - A blank page will trigger a new folder.
  • Barcode - A scanned barcode will trigger a new folder.
  • Content Type - This Separation Event uses Lexical training examples to trigger folder creation. Whenever a page confidently matches a trained example document's first page, a new folder is created.
  • Page Count - This is for fixed page separation. A new folder is created by a set number of pages for a document.
  • Shape - A new folder is created every time a "shape feature" is detected. Shape features are detected using a Shape Detection IP Command from an IP Profile.

When the event is triggered, one of two things can happen:

• A new folder is created and pages are included until a new event is triggered which will result in a new document
• The page triggering the event may be deleted

More than one event may be used per configuration of this provider.

Blank Page

Blank pages are used as the trigger event for folder creation. The Blank Page Detection property of this event detects whether an image is blank. The blank page is used as the separation point for where a document starts. All pages after the blank page will be included in a new Batch Folder until a new blank page is detected.

Note: This event can be also used to automate deleting blank pages by setting the Delete Page property to True.

Barcode

Virtually scanned barcodes are used to trigger folder creation. Grooper will read barcodes on a page during separation. If a barcode is found (according to the property settings configured on the event), a new folder will be created.

You will set the barcode symbology(ies) on the document(s), using the property panel. You may also set the barcode's value the separator should watch for. If no value is set, the presence of any barcode (of the assigned symbology) at all will trigger the event.

Page Count

The PageCount event is used for fixed page separation. For example, if you expect a new document to exist in a Batch every three pages, you can set the Page Count of this event to "3". A new Batch Folder will be created every three pages, with three Batch Pages placed in the created folder.
