Data Element Overrides is a tab provided to allow overriding of default properties set to a Data Element.

About

Grooper solutions can range from simple scan and archive processes to extremely complex solutions. Data Element Overrides allow discrete control of Data Elements on a per Content Type basis. This greatly magnifies Grooper’s inheritance-based architecture and allows for more robust and scalable Data Models. You are no longer required to make copies of Data Elements when you just need to modify a property for an oddball Document Type. This can greatly save time building the solution and reduce complexity by eliminating those copied Data Elements. One can also quickly and easily Test Extraction directly in the Overrides tab. After modifying any of the Data Element properties, you can easily test the results of the modification against a test Batch without leaving the tab.

How To

Following is an example of when to use Data Element Overrides and how to set them up. In this example are three different document formats, all of which are collecting the same data. Two of them follow a similar enough structure that an override is not necessary, the third requires overrides to extract properly.
