Conditional

A Conditional runs the contained processes if its conditions are satisfied, allowing more granularity within document classes. Using this process can remove the need to define additional document classes to classify and process these "special" documents in a different way. Conditionals can be used in Pre-Classification Processing, First Page Identification, Page Processing, Last Page Identification, and Post-Processing.

Example: Blair Inc. is looking to hire new bilingual employees in the Marketing and Sales departments. All applications submitted are scanned into two different document classes: Marketing Applications and Sales Applications. There is a "bilingual" checkbox on each type of application. If that checkbox is selected, a sticky note is to be added to the application emphasizing that this candidate can speak another language and should be considered for an interview. To do this, they can place a Fixed Annotation process inside a Conditional process to add a sticky note to the applications that have this checkbox selected. Show me what this looks like.

Note: Some processes come with the basic Quick Fields installation, and some must be purchased as add-ons. Contact your reseller for more information.
