Conditional blocks in Data Actions – Nanonets

Description

This doc describes how to use the Conditional blocks in Workflows

Conditional blocks can be used to define logic that determines the whether a certain data action in your workflow will run or not.

For eg:

If the seller_name extracted on a document is seller XYZ, then set the seller_id field to 12345
If the text on a page contains "XYZ", then delete all the labels and tables from the page
If the country on a document is USA, then parse the date in the MM/DD/YYYY format

1. Go to workflows screen
2. Add a new step and select conditional block
3. Configure the conditions

Once this is done, you will be able to see your data actions run when conditions are true

What happens if the condition isnt satisfied?
1. The Data Action within the condition will not run
2. The output label value will be equal to the the input label value
Can you explain the advanced Settings?
1. Page Level (default) - The data action block will run on those pages that the condition evaluates to true on
2. Document level - The data action block will run on all pages of the document, provided that the condition evaluates to true. If there are multiple instances of a label, then the highest confidence instance is used in the conditional block
3. Instance Level - The data action block will run on only those boxes/instances on the document that the condition evaluates to true on
Can I add OR and AND conditions together?
1. Coming soon!
Can I add a label based on a condition?
1. Yes! You can use the Add/Replace value block to do this
How does the Replace value block work?
1. The replace block can be used to replace the text within an already existing label, if the label doesn't exist on the document, it will add that label
Can I delete all tables in a page or document?
1. Yes, if you choose all the columns as well as Unlabelled Headers in the delete block, the tables on a page will get deleted
