Data Type
Description
Static Text
Static text is a specific word or phrase that is displayed for every record pulled from the selected Document Type.
For example, if multiple Document Types are assigned to a process, the static text column can be used to identify the Document Type that a record came from.
Keyword
Keyword columns display a Keyword Value from the document containing the record. They can also contain the document's Document Date or Date Stored.
Page Data
Page data is a value that occurs on a specific line of each page and occurs only once per page. For example, this may be a report title or a page number.
Record Group Single Data
Single data is information that occurs only once within a record group and applies to every record in the record group. For example, this may be the name of a company or customer.
Record Primary Data
You must map one column (and only one column) as primary data.
Primary data is key information that is available for each record in a record group. For each piece of primary data found in a document, a new row is generated in the output file.
For example, each record in a document may contain a customer's account number.
Record Secondary Data
Secondary data is additional information about a record that occurs on the same line as the primary data.
