Analyze layout
The Analyze Layout activity uses the Form Recognizer Analyze Layout API to extract layout information from a specified document (File Path or File URL).
After completing the operation, the activity outputs the recognition results in an AnalyzeOperationResult object (Response Object) and the understanding results in Page[] object (Pages). Both of these outputs can be used as input variables in subsequent activities (e.g., conditional logic).
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 Azure Form Recognizer Scope activity to your project.
- Add the Analyze Layout activity inside the Azure Form Recognizer Scope activity.
- Enter values for the Input properties.
- Create and enter the
AnalyzeOperationResultandPage[]variables for the Output properties. - Run the activity.
-
Your input properties are sent to the Analyze Layout API.
-
The API returns the
AnalyzeOperationResultandPage[]values to your output property variables.
-
