Export To Combined DataTable

Properties

  • Input
  • Document Ids
    • Type:List<int>
    • Description: A list of unique identifiers for the documents to be exported to a combined DataTable. This is a required argument.
  • Document Category Ids
    • Type:List<int?>
    • Description: A list of unique identifiers for the document categories used to limit export results. This is an optional argument.
  • Combine By External ID
    • Type:bool
    • Description: Specifies whether to combine the output by the document's external ID property. This is an optional argument.
    • Default Value:false

Usage

  1. Setup Activity:
  2. Add the "Export To Combined DataTable" activity to your UiPath workflow.
  3. Configure the required input arguments:
    • Document Ids: Provide a list of document IDs whose extraction results you wish to export.
  4. Optionally, specify:
    • Document Category Ids: Limit the export results to specific document categories by providing their IDs.
    • Combine By External ID: Set totrueif you want to combine rows in the DataTable based on the document's external ID.
  5. Execution:
  6. The activity executes asynchronously, retrieving the specified documents' extraction results and compiling them into a combined DataTable.
  7. IfCombine By External IDis enabled, rows with the same external ID will be merged in the output DataTable.
  8. Output:
  9. The activity returns aList<DataTable>, where each DataTable contains the combined extraction results for the specified documents.

Considerations

  • Data Selection: Ensure that the document IDs are accurate and accessible to avoid errors during the export process.
  • Category Filtering: Use document category IDs to refine the export results, focusing on specific subsets of documents if needed.
  • Data Handling: The resulting DataTables provide a structured format for the extracted data, suitable for further processing, analysis, or reporting within your workflow.
  • Combining Rows: When combining by external ID, ensure that the external ID field is consistently populated across documents to achieve the desired output.
