Get document analysis
The Get Document Analysis activity uses the Amazon Textract GetDocumentAnalysis API to asynchronously retrieve the result of a document analysis operation (JobId). If the document analyzed includes a table, you have the option to indicate if the first row contains column headers (DiscoverColumnHeaders) and/or ignore empty rows in the table (IgnoreEmptyRows).
After retrieving the document analysis, the activity returns the document properties in a PageDetail[] object that you can use as input variables in other activities outside of the Amazon Textract Activities Package.
How it works
The following steps and message sequence diagram is an example of how the activity works from design time (that is, the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.
- Complete the Setup steps.
- Add the Amazon Scope activity to your project.
- Add an activity or run an external process that outputs a
JobIdvalue (for example, Start Document Analysis). - Add the Get Document Analysis inside the Amazon Scope activity.
- Enter values for the Input properties.
- Create and enter a
PageDetail[]variable for your Output property. - Run the activity.
-
Your input properties are sent to the GetDocumentAnalysis API.
-
The API returns the
PageDetail[]value to your output property variable.
-
