Build Document Structure activity

This activity is used to set up a new sub-document level. The media are typically transferred to the sub-document. This activity works only on the last document level; that is, in a document hierarchy, only documents that do not contain any sub-documents are processed.

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 xboundActDocBuilder.dll.

The following settings are available when configuring a process step of this activity type.

You can create sub-documents in three modes. The settings vary depending on which mode you select.

Sheets or pages

A new sub-document is created from a fixed number of pages or sheets. (More information about its settings.)

Classes

Sub-documents are created on the basis of the media's classification results. This is ideal for scenarios preceded by a content-based classification of media. Sub-documents are created on basis of the found document types (here called classes) of the media. This mode works page by page. (More information about its settings.)

Separators

Particular media are interpreted as separators that control the creation of sub-documents. This is ideal for creating a document level. It works sheet by sheet.

A new sub-document is created for each sheet that does not have the same document type as the source document. Sheets without a document type or sheets with an unrecognized document type are moved to the current sub-document. (More information about its settings.)

These settings apply to all three modes:

Sub-document name prefix	Select Parent if you want to prefix the auto-generated document name with the name of the parent document and then an underscore ( _ ).
Reduce document level before	Removes the last sub-document level before structuring. The media are moved to the parent document.

These settings are also available:

Import button	Imports settings from an XML file that was previously created using Export.
Export button	Exports the settings to an XML file. Specify the file name and location. You can then import the XML file to get the same settings. See Exporting and importing process step settings.
Check regular expression link	Opens a test form, where you can (when applicable) check a regular expression.
