Data consumption

This section includes general and technical information about the Data Consumption component.

Data consumption Overview​

What is data consumption​

Once you validate the extracted data, you can use it as it is or export it as a DataSet variable using the Export Extraction Results activity.

The variable can be later saved into a DataTable format, so you can export it to whatever environment you need in order to consume it.

When data consumption should be used​

For instance, you can easily convert the values into an Excel file, further process the data in Queues and then perform data entry into an Enterprise Resource Planning tool.

How to use the data consumption component​

Taking this into account, the Export Extraction Results activity can be used with:

  • Automatic extraction results output of the Data Extraction Scope - for RPA-based validation purposes, this is an excellent alternative of accessing the extracted data.
    note

    Make sure to set the IncludeConfidence flag to True.

  • Confirmed extraction results output of the Present Validation Station - for downstream usage purposes, this is a straightforward means of accessing the actual values extracted through the Document UnderstandingTM framework.

Export Extraction Results​

Gives you easy access to extraction results by exporting results from an ExtractionResult variable to a DataSet variable which can be further processed. More details here.
