Metadata Converter

The Metadata Converter connector converts the values of the specified metadata item in a scanned document. This connector can also be used to change the values of metadata items to different values based on the rules specified in the replacement table.

For example, when the metadata contains corporate department numbers, those numbers can be replaced with the corresponding department names.

The Metadata Converter connector changes only the metadata. The details of the scanned document are not changed.

Supported formats (input data)

The Metadata Converter connector supports all formats compatible with SLNX Scan & Capture.

Convertible formats (output data)

The output data format is the same as the input data.

When the target metadata value does not match the [Comparison Target String] configured in the replacement table, the data is processed using the method selected in [Select Action when Table Data does not Match].

To Configure the Metadata Converter:

  1. In the Delivery Flow, click the [Metadata Converter] connector icon.

  1. Enter a display name.

  2. In General Settings, select the replacement table that will be used in the conversion.

To use the Metadata Converter connector, create a replacement table in advance. Refer to Configure a Replacement Table.

  1. From the [Select Action when Table Data does not Match] list, select one of these options. This setting specifies how to process the delivery flow when the value of the target metadata does not match the [Comparison Target String] setting in the replacement table.

    • Continue flow using default values: The target metadata is replaced using the value of [Default Output] in the replacement table. The delivery flow proceeds without pausing. The output value becomes blank when [Default Output] is not specified. The process is recorded as being successful in the job log.

    • Skip subsequent flow, status Succeeded: All proceeding processes behind the delivery flow is skipped, and no error is recorded in the system log. The process is recorded as being successful in the job log. When a redirect exists in front of the table replacement connector in the delivery flow, the process is normally performed in other flows behind the redirect.

    • Stop subsequent flow, status Failed: The delivery flow fails. The job is moved to the error queue and recorded as an error in the job log and system log.

    • Continue flow without performing replacement: The flow continues without replacing the metadata element that does not match the replacement table.

  2. Save the workflow.
