Note
Fields cannot be used twice in one extraction workflow.
Different Extract steps can only write extracted data to the same field in the Data Model,
if:
l The field name is the same. (See: "Renaming and ordering fields" on page131.)
l The Extract steps are mutually exclusive. This is the case when they are located in
different branches of a Condition step or Multiple Conditions step.
l
The option Append values to current record is checked in the Step properties
pane under Extraction Definition.
Extracting data into multiple fields
When you select multiple fields in a CSV or tabular data file and extract them simultaneously,
they are put into different fields in the Data Model automatically.
In a PDF or Text file, when multiple lines are extracted at the same time, they are by default
joined and put into one field in the Data Model. To split them and put the data into different
fields:
1. Select the field in the Data Model that contains the extracted lines.
2.
On the Step properties pane, under Field Definition, click the drop-down next to Split
and select Split lines.
Adding fields to an existing Extract step
For optimization purposes, it is better to add fields to an existing Extract step than to have a
succession of extraction steps.
To add fields to an existing Extract step:
1. In the Data Viewer pane, select the data that needs to be extracted. (See "Selecting data"
on the next page.)
2.
Select an Extract step on the Steps pane.
3.
Right-click on the data and select Add Extract Field, or drag & drop the data on the Data
Model.
