Execute Activity

Executes a Code Activity as part of an Execute activity workflow.

Remarks

Execute Activity is an Execute Step that runs a selected Code Activity on the current object as part of a multi-step Execute workflow.

• Use this step to invoke custom or built-in Code Activity logic, such as data extraction, transformation, or other programmable automation.
• The 'Activity' property determines which Code Activity will be executed. Only activities allowed for the current processing scope are available for selection.
• If the selected activity is not applicable to the current object, the step is skipped automatically.

Example Use Cases

• Run a custom script or logic on each Batch Folder or Batch Page.
• Integrate data extraction, validation, or transformation into a larger workflow.
• Combine with other Execute Steps to build complex, multi-stage automation processes.

EditorObject Properties Editor ConverterActivity Converter Can be one of the following types: Value Description Send Mail Sends an e-mail message using SMTP as part of a Grooper process. Convert Data Converts a document to another Content Type. Apply Rules Applies one or more Data Rules to a document and updates the document metadata if changes are made. Batch Transfer Transfers a Batch to another Grooper repository using API Services. Export Exports document content files and/or data to an external system. Fill Data Executes one or more Data Fill Methods on Batch Folders to populate or enrich data fields according to configured logic. Route Routes a Batch or Batch Folder into a batch process based on its Content Type. Text Transform Generates a text file from document data using a configurable template. Detect Language (Legacy) Detects the dominant language of each document or page, and marks it with the appropriate ISO culture code. Execute Executes a sequence of commands and/or activities on Batch Folder, Batch Page, or Batch objects. Merge Merges the contents of all child objects to a multi-page file, and saves the result an attachment or custom file. Recognize Recognizes the internal content of a document or page, and saves the resulting data for use by subsequent activities. Remove Level Removes one or more folder levels which exist below a Batch Folder or Batch. Split Pages Splits a multi-page document into individual Batch Pages for downstream processing. Split Text Splits a text document into smaller documents using extractors or line counts. XML Transform Applies an XSLT transform to XML data associated with a Grooper document. Deduplicate Detects and processes duplicate child documents using configurable comparison and disposition options. Correct Performs spell correction and word splitting on OCR text or extracted data fields. Train Lexicon Creates a text file using the results of an extractor. Spawn Batch Creates a new batch using a filtered set of folders from the current batch. Dispose Batch Applies a disposition to Batches when they have completed processing. Launch Process Launches an external process, and optionally waits for that process to terminate. Redact Redacts information from the image associated with a Batch Page. Render Renders the attachment stored on a Batch Folder to PDF using the native application for the file type. Classify Automatically classifies documents by assigning a Document Type. Extract Performs data extraction on a document and saves the resulting Document Instance. Image Processing Applies permanent image cleanup to images in a Batch. Separate Separates a sequence of loose pages into documents. Translate Translates the text content of a document into another language, generating a PDF output document in the target language. Mark Attachments Marks documents for attachment to neighboring documents using configurable rules for use by Attach. Attach Combines documents in a batch according to attachment markers set by Mark Attachments. Detect Language Performs AI-based language detection using an LLM. Burst Book Extracts individual page images from a photograph of a book, automatically splitting, cropping, and dewarping pages for downstream processing. Clip Frames Crops individual frames from a fiche card strip. Detect Frames Detects frame locations in a fiche card strip. Initialize Card Initializes a newly-imported fiche card. Select a Code Activity to run on the current object. The activity can be a built-in or custom automation step, such as data extraction, validation, or transformation. Only activities allowed for the current processing scope are available for selection. If the selected activity does not apply to the current object, this step will be skipped automatically. Example Choose a data extraction activity to extract fields from each Batch Folder. Select a custom script activity to apply business rules or transformations.
