This activity classifies media using the barcodes found on them during scanning (for example using ReadSoft SCAN CLIENT) or by using the Extract Barcodes activity.
The Classify by Barcodes activity goes through the root document and all its sub-documents, and checks the barcodes of each medium based on the specified patterns. If one of these patterns matches, the medium is assigned the specified document type. The document type assigned by this activity can be used to structure documents with the help of headers or separator sheets, for example. There is a detailed example of this in the Tutorial. See also Structuring documents by using barcodes.
Note: This activity must be assigned to an Activities Service in order to run.
If for some reason you need to add this activity to the Process Designer, the file to add is xboundActClassifyBarcode.dll.
The following settings are available when configuring a process step of this activity type.
