Separation Profile

Separation Profiles are used to specify how pages will be separated into documents and folders within a batch.

Inherits from: Grooper Node

Properties

The following 4 properties are defined.

Property Name Description
General
Provider Type: Separation Provider

Defines the type of separation to be performed. Can be one of the following values:

  • Change in Value Separation - A new folder is created each time the extracted value changes.
  • Control Sheet Separation - Separate the batch using Grooper Control Sheets.
  • EPI Separation - Performs Separation using embedded page information (EPI). The Provided Extractor should be a Data Type which returns a 1-based integer page number. When this binding method is in use, Grooper applies the following logic: 1) If the page number is 1, create a new folder. 2) If the page number is greater than 1, it will be applied to the current folder only if it is in sequence with the last recorded page number. If the page is out of sequence, it will be left as a loose page.
  • ESP Auto Separation - Performs separation using ESP™ automatic separation.
  • Event-Based Separation - Separate the batch based on Separation Events. Separation events can separate based on patch codes, barcodes, blank pages, detected shapes, or page content types.
  • Multi Separator - Performs separation using multiple separation providers.
  • Pattern-Based Separation - A new folder will be created if the extractor produces any results on the page.
  • Undo Separation - Flattens a Batch Folder by recursively removing all children Batch Folders, leaving only loose pages.
Expand to configure settings for the selected Separation Provider.

Delete All Separators Type: Boolean, Default: False

If true, all control sheets will be deleted regardless of the deletion settings embedded in the individual control sheets.

Base Type Type: ProviderType, Default: None

Indicates the base type of the configured separation provider. Can be one of the following values:

  • None - No provider type is selected.
  • RealTime - Can run in real time during scanning. Does not require a preprocessing step.
  • Lexical - Based on the lexical content of the page. Requires each page to have been previously processed through the Recognize activity.
