Events An Event defines how to identify documents in the input job, which parts of an input document to extract, and how to create the Message. Trigger patterns An Event is triggered by patterns in the input data. When a matching pattern is found, the Event starts to extract data from the input and creates the Message. Message definition The instructions on how to create the Message, i.e. a tree structure of named fields and blocks, are defined in the Event. When the data is extracted from the input, the Event uses these instructions to map non-recurring input data to fields at root level, and recurring data to fields in blocks. Different input formats There are different types of Events adapted to different types of input: • Page based • Field based • Record based • XML based • Preformatted (e.g. PDF) Event tools You use different types of Event tools to configure Events.
