Find Capture Documents
The Find Capture Document task retrieves a list of pertinent information about Capture documents present in the Capture Data-
base according to a specified set of rules.
This task is most often useful as the beginning of an automated process using a series of Capture documents, for example one
that removes old documents to unlock patterns. However, it can also be used as a secondary input in order to retrieve one or
more documents after some operations.
Input
Because this task in an Input task, it does not use the current job file in your process, even when used as a secondary input
task.
Processing
This task connects to the Capture database and looks up all available documents that meet the criteria specified in the plugin.
Then it does further processing to retrieve relevant information about each document and places the information in the data
file it generates.
Output
The data file generated by this task is an XMLstructure containing the data about each document. It also generates metadata
that is compatible with post-processing tasks such as the Capture Condition and Get Capture Document tasks.
This metadata includes:
