OAuth is an open standard for authorization used with many popular APIs such as Twitter and Facebook. It provides a means
for applications and robots in case of
Kofax RPA
to access data or perform actions on behalf of the user without having direct access to the user login credentials. For
example, a robot can use Twitter API to extract the most recent mentions of a user, such as @Kofax, using access tokens provided by
that user but without having explicit access to @Kofax Twitter password.
Management Console
is used to generate access tokens that are stored securely in a keystore. The access tokens can be passed on as input to
robots in a schedule. As always, the robots that perform the actual API calls and handle the returned data are created in
Design Studio.
Search results
Search tips
The search returns topics that contain terms you enter. If you type more than one term, an OR is assumed, which returns topics where any of the terms are found. Enclose your search terms in quotes for exact-phrase matching.
The search also uses fuzzy matching to account for partial words (such as install and installs). The results appear in order of relevance, based on how many search terms occur per topic. Exact matches are highlighted.
To refine the search, you can use the following operators:
Type + in front of words that must be included in the search or - in front of words to exclude. (Example: user +shortcut –group finds shortcut and user shortcut, but not group or user group.)
Use * as a wildcard for missing characters. The wildcard can be used anywhere in a search term. (Example: inst* finds installation and instructions.)
Type title: at the beginning of the search phrase to look only for topic titles. (Example: title:configuration finds the topic titled “Changing the software configuration.”)
For multi-term searches, you can specify a priority for terms in your search. Follow the term with ^ and a positive number that indicates the weight given that term. A higher number indicates more weight. (Example: shortcut^10 group gives shortcut 10 times the weight as group.)
To use fuzzy searching to account for misspellings, follow the term with ~ and a positive number for the number of corrections to be made. (Example: port~1 matches fort, post, or potr, and other instances where one correction leads to a match.)
Note that operators cannot be used as search terms: + - * : ~ ^ ' "
