      • CSV Separator: Define the separator character to use in the CSV file.
      • File Path: Specify the file path where the CSV file should be saved.

  2. Execution:
    • The activity executes asynchronously, exporting the specified documents' extraction results to a CSV file at the given file path.
    • IfCombine By External IDis enabled, rows with the same external ID will be merged in the CSV output.
  3. Output:

Considerations

  • Data Selection: Ensure that the document IDs are accurate and accessible to avoid errors during the export process.
  • CSV Formatting: The chosen CSV separator should not conflict with the data content to ensure proper CSV formatting.
  • File Path: Ensure that the specified file path is valid and accessible. The application must have write permissions to save the file at the specified location.
  • Category Filtering: Use document category IDs to refine the export results, focusing on specific subsets of documents if needed.
  • Combining Rows: When combining by external ID, ensure that the external ID field is consistently populated across documents to achieve the desired output.
