Extract Data
You can select this activity to extract data from a document for the selected fields that are created using the Manage Document Type functionality on the tab. Data can be in the form of key-value pair, table, or string.
You can use one of these options to extract data:
- Regular Expression Based: This option enables you to extract data based on the pattern in the string that is obtained from the OCR engine. For example, the date field pattern is (\d\/\d\/\d+\). This is the most accurate extraction method. See, Extracting Data using Regular Expression Based Extraction section.
- Layout Based: This option enables you to define and manage templates for extracting data. See, Navigating through the RPA Studio application section.
You can use the option to select the extractor type you want to use.
