On the Activities tab, you can set up a document processing flow. An activity is a document processing step that you can use to set up specific actions that should be taken to extract a skill’s fields. Depending on the specifics of the processed documents, various activities can be implemented as part of a document skill. For real-life examples for using various activities, see Use Cases.

Editing Skills Created in Vantage

If you are editing a skill created in Vantage, a document processing flow consisting of the Fast Learning activity will be displayed in the Activities tab. This activity is responsible for extracting a skill’s fields using Vantage machine learning. Depending on the purpose of the changes you are making to the skill, add and set up new activities for the appropriate fields.

Creating Skills in Advanced Designer

If you are creating a skill in Advanced Designer, add the appropriate activities to the flow by placing them between Start and Finish. The order the activities are placed in the flow determines the order in which the activities’ actions are carried out when the skill is used on a document. The IF activity can be used to specify conditions for branches in the flow. You can also implicitly fork the processing flow by creating a workflow item that contains several Extraction Rules activities and mapping these activities to the values of some field. You can add any of the activities below to a document processing flow.
