Tip
In a PDF or Text file, use the Drag icon to drag selected data into the
Data Model.
With this method, a new Extract step will only be added to the extraction workflow if
another Extract step is not currently selected. Otherwise, the field is added to the
currently selected Extraction step.
Dragging data into an existing field in the Data Model will replace the data. The
field name stays the same.
Drop data on empty fields or on the record itself to add new fields.
Special conditions
The Extract step may need to be combined with another type of step to get the desired result.
l
Data can be extracted conditionally with a Condition step or Multiple Conditions step;
see "Condition step" on page251 or "Multiple Conditions step" on page254.
l Normally the same extraction workflow is automatically applied to all records in the
source data. It is however possible to skip records, entirely or partially, or to stop data
mapping using an Action step. Add an Action step in a branch under a Condition step or
Multiple Conditions step (see "Action step" on page255) and set the type of action to
Stop processing recordor Stop data mapping, according to what is needed (see "Action
step properties" on page340).
l
To extract transactional data, the Extract step must be placed inside a Repeat step. See
"Extracting transactional data" on page231.
Note
Data cannot be extracted more than once in any record, unless the Extract steps are
mutually exclusive. This is the case when they are located in different branches of a
Condition step or Multiple Conditions step.
Inside a Detail table, multiple Extract steps may extract the same data but each of them
will create a new child record in the Detail table.
