Glossary

Activity

Activity is a property on Batch Process Step objects. Activities define specific document processing operations done to a Batch, Batch Folder, or Batch Page.

Batch Process Steps configured with specific Activities are frequently referred by the name of the Activity followed by the word "step". For example: Classify Step.

Classify

Classify is an Activity that "classifies" Batch Folders in a Batch by assigning them a Content Type using patterns, lexical understanding, or rules as defined by a Content Model.

Clip Frames

The Clip Frames Activity extracts defined areas from microfiche card images, creating new image frames or layers for focused analysis or processing.

Detect Frames

The Detect Frames Activity locates and identifies frame lines on microfiche card images, enabling the isolation of areas within the frames for further data extraction or processing.

Execute

The Execute Activity runs a specified child command, allowing for the modular and controlled execution of tasks within a larger automated workflow.

Export

The Export Activity facilitates the transfer of documents and extracted information to external systems or formats, completing the data processing workflow.

Extract

The Extract Activity retrieves relevant information, defined by Data Elements, from Batch Folders, transforming unstructured or semi-structured content into structured, usable data.

Image Processing

The Image Processing Activity enhances and optimizes Batch Pages for better recognition and data extraction results.

Initialize Card

The Initialize Card Activity prepares and configures microfiche card images for further processing.

Recognize

The Recognize Activity interprets Batch Pages and Batch Folders, converting them into machine-readable text and capturing layout data for comprehensive analysis and data extraction. This will attach a text and/or layoutData file to the respective object.

Render

The Render Activity normalizes electronic document content from file formats Grooper cannot read innately to a PDF format. This allows Grooper to extract the text via the Recognize Activity.

Review

The Review Activity facilitates human evaluation and validation of processed Batch Folders and extracted data for accuracy and completeness.

Send Mail

The Send Mail Activity automates the dispatch of emails with or without attachments, based on Batch Process events and conditions.

Separate

The Separate Activity sorts Batch Pages into individual Batch Folders, distinguishing them for independent processing and organization.

Split Pages

Multi-page documents (typically PDFs and TIFFs) come into Grooper represented as single Batch Folders. The Split Pages Activity exposes Batch Pages as child objects of the Batch Folders for individualized processing and handling.

XML Transform

The XML Transform Activity applies XSLT stylesheets to XML data to modify or reformat the output structure for various purposes.

Behavior

Content Type and Export Behaviors are configurable actions that automate processing tasks based on the identified Content Type of a Batch Folder.

Export Behavior

An Export Behavior defines the conditions and actions for exporting Batch Folders and their associated data from Grooper to other systems.

Labeling Behavior

A Labeling Behavior is a Content Type Behavior designed to collect and utilize a document's field labels in a variety of ways. This includes functionality for Classification and Extraction.

PDF Data Mapping

PDF Data Mapping is a Content Type Behavior designed to create an exportable PDF file with additional native PDF elements.

CMIS Connection Type

CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", establishes the communication protocols used to connect Grooper with content management systems adhering to the CMIS standard.

AppXtender

The AppXtender CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to the ApplicationXtender content management system for import and export operations.

Box

The Box CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to the Box content management system for import and export operations.

Exchange

The Exchange CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to the Microsoft Exchange Server mail server for import and export operations.

FTP

The FTP CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to FTP directories for import and export operations.

IMAP

The IMAP CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to email messages and folders through an IMAP email server.

NTFS

The NTFS CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to files and folders in the Microsoft Windows NTFS file system.

OneDrive

The OneDrive CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to Microsoft OneDrive cloud services.

SFTP

The SFTP CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to SFTP directories for import and export operations.

SharePoint

The SharePoint CMIS Connection Type, or "binding", connects Grooper to Microsoft SharePoint, providing access to content stored in "document libraries" and "picture lLibraries".
