Separation Profile

Defines how pages are separated into documents and folders within a batch.

Remarks

Overview

A Separation Profile configures the logic for dividing a sequence of Batch Pages into a hierarchy of Batch Folders and Batch Pages during batch processing in Grooper. It acts as a container for a Separation Provider, which implements the specific separation method or criteria.

Typical use cases include:

• Splitting scanned pages into individual documents based on barcodes, blank pages, patch codes, or custom logic.
• Organizing documents into folders according to separation rules.

---

Configuration

The main property to configure is the 'Provider', which determines the separation strategy.
The available Separation Providers offer a range of options, such as:

• Barcode-based separation
• Blank page detection
• Patch code recognition
• Rule-based or scriptable separation

Each provider exposes its own set of settings, accessible by expanding the 'Provider' property.

---

Usage in Scan View

In the Scan View, a Separation Profile can be assigned to control how scanned pages are grouped into documents and folders in real time. When scanning, the selected profile's Separation Provider is used to evaluate incoming Batch Pages and determine document breaks as pages are acquired. This enables immediate feedback and organization during the scanning process, according to the configured separation logic.

The 'Scanning Support' property indicates if the current provider supports real-time separation in the Scan View.

---

Usage in Separate Activity

The Separate activity is used in unattended or batch processing scenarios to automatically organize Batch Pages into Documents. During execution, the activity applies the configured Separation Profile to the target batch, using the selected Separation Provider to analyze and separate pages. This process is typically performed after scanning or importing, and before classification or extraction steps.

---

Additional Notes

• Assign a Separation Profile to a Scan View or Separate activity to control how incoming pages are grouped.
• Changing the 'Provider' will update the available configuration options for separation.
• Use the appropriate provider for your document types and separation requirements.
• The 'IsRealTime' property returns a boolean indicating if the provider supports real-time separation.

For more information, see the documentation for Separation Provider, Scan View, and the Separate activity.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Provider	Separation Provider	►	Specifies the Separation Provider that defines how Batch Pages are separated into documents. EditorObject Properties Editor ConverterType Selector Requiredtrue Can be one of the following types: Value Description Event-Based Separates a batch into documents based on a configurable set of Separation Events, such as patch codes, barcodes, blank pages, detected shapes, or page content types. Change In Value Separator Performs document separation by detecting changes in a binding value extracted from each Batch Page. Control Sheet Separation Separates a batch into documents using Grooper Control Sheets as explicit document boundaries. EPI Separation Performs document separation using Embedded Page Information (EPI) extracted from each Batch Page. ESP Auto Separation Performs document separation using ESP™ automatic separation, combining page-level classification with flexible, rules-driven separation logic. Multi Separator Performs document separation using multiple Separation Providers in sequence. Pattern-Based Separation Creates a new document whenever the configured Value Extractor produces one or more results on a Batch Page. Undo Separation Flattens a Batch Folder by recursively removing all child Batch Folders, leaving only loose Batch Pages. AI Separate Separates a sequence of pages into documents using AI to determine the location of page boundaries. The 'Provider' property determines the separation logic used by this Separation Profile. Select a Separation Provider to control how pages are grouped during batch processing. Each provider implements a specific separation method, such as barcode detection, blank page detection, patch code recognition, or custom rule-based logic. The available configuration options will change depending on the selected provider. Expand this property in the UI to access and configure provider-specific settings.
