The Assemble activity detects pages in multipage files and groups them into documents. Vantage supports three input patterns:
  • One file per document (no assembly needed).
  • A single multipage file containing one or more documents (assembly needed).
  • Multiple single-page files (assembly needed).

​
Assembly types

Select the assembly type in the Actions pane after adding the activity:

​
Assemble by classification

The By classification assembly type uses classes assigned to pages by a Classification skill. Vantage assigns each page a class and merges consecutive pages of the same class into a single document.

Assembly rules

  • Consecutive pages of the same class are grouped into one document.
  • A page of a different class than the previous one starts a new document.
  • Unclassified pages are added to the document currently being assembled, and they don’t break a chain of same-class pages.
  • Pages classified as first pages always start a new document, even when the new and previous documents are the same class.

​
Assemble by Document Splitter skill

Document Splitter skills split files containing multiple documents into separate documents, and can assign a type to each one to determine how it’s processed.
Document Splitter skills are created and edited only in Advanced Designer, not Skill Designer. After a skill is published, you can reference it from the Assemble activity’s By Document Splitter Skill option.
