Use Skill is typically the first Vantage activity in a UiPath workflow: it submits a document to a Vantage skill and hands back a Transaction Id. Processing happens asynchronously inside Vantage — you pass the Transaction Id to the Get Results activity to fetch the results once processing finishes.

Activity properties

GroupPropertyTypeDescription
Connection SettingsSkill NameStringThe name of the Vantage skill.
InputInput FilesIReadOnlyDictionary<String,InputFile>A Dictionary collection, where String is the name of the file and InputFile is the class describing the input file. Before adding files to the dictionary, it is necessary to ensure that non-repeating values are passed to the String parameter. You cannot add more than one file to the Input Files dictionary for which the same name will be passed in the String parameter.
InputTransaction Registration ParametersIReadOnlyDictionary<String,String>A Dictionary collection of transaction registration parameters to pass the key and value of each parameter.
OutputTransaction IdGuidThe identifier of the created transaction. This ID is then used as the Transaction Id input property of the Get Results activity to get the status of the transaction and the processing results.

InputFile

NameTypeDescription
fileStreamStreamThe contents of the file that will be passed to ABBYY Vantage. You can pass the stream of the file on a local disk as a value of this property (e.g. System.IO.File.OpenRead("D:\images\Invoice1.pdf")).
index (optional)IntegerThe index number of the file in the transaction.
fileRegistrationParameters (optional)IReadOnlyDictionary<String,String>A Dictionary collection of file registration parameters to pass the key and value of each parameter.
The Use Skill activity can only be used inside a configured Vantage Scope activity.
When configuring the activity, set the Password or Client Secret property on the Vantage Scope activity (depending on your authentication flow) so the connector can retrieve the skill list. Switch to the Secure Password or Secure Client Secret property once your workflow is configured — see Vantage Scope activity.
Vantage Scope activity UI
Click the button to the right of the drop-down list under Skill Name to load the list of skills. Then expand the Skill Name drop-down list and select the skill you intend to use for document processing.
We recommend reducing the file size of big files to 30 MB or less to speed up document processing.
The Skill Name parameter accepts a UiPath String variable. Selecting a skill from the drop-down writes the new value to the variable. Expressions and references to other variables are not supported.

Vantage Scope activity

Pass ABBYY Vantage connection settings to nested Vantage activities.

Get Results activity

Retrieve the processing results from ABBYY Vantage.

Map Fields activity
