Steps
- Ignore Step: Click to set

is executed in Workflow. However, they can still be modified normally.

Step: Adds an Extract Step with one or more extract fields.
If more than one line or field is selected in the Data , each
line or field will have an extract field.

Step: Adds a Goto step that moves the selection pointer
to the beginning of the data selection. For instance if an XML node
is selected, the pointer moves to where that node is located.
- Add Condition
Step: Adds a condition based on the current data selection.
The "True" branch gets run when the text is found on the
page. Other conditions are available in the step properties once it
has been added.
- Add Repeat
Step: Adds a loop that is based on the current data selection,
and depending on the type of data. XML data will loop on the
currently selected node, CSV loops for all rows in the record. In
Text and PDF data, if the data selection is on the same line as the
cursor position, the loop will be for each line until the end of the
record. If the data selection is on a lower line, the loop will be
for each line until the text in the data selection is found at the
specified position on the line (e.g. until "TOTAL" is found).
- Add Extract Field: Adds
the data selection to the selected Extract
step, if an extract step is currently selected. If multiple lines,
nodes or fields are selected, multiple extract fields are added simultaneously.
