Available Activities

You can use the following activities for setting up a custom Process skill workflow: Most activities have access to all documents in a transaction at a time. Activities associated with skills (Classify, Extract, OCR) process each document in a transaction separately. You can implicitly branch the process by mapping a set of Document skills in an Extract activity to the classes assigned by a Classify activity. You can also apply Custom and Condition activities to one document at a time by using the For Each Document activity.
