2.90:Data Extractor (Concept)

Data Extractors isolate and return information from text data on a page. Data extractors are used in a variety of ways, including to:

• Classify documents
• Find data on a page you wish to store outside of Grooper
• Separate documents

They can also be referenced by other Data Extractors.

There are three types of Data Extractors:

• Data Type
• Data Format
• Field Class

All have configurable properties to leverage information on the page, control how data is extracted, get around imperfect text data, and format results the extraction returns.
