Description

In many instances, we've seen users need to separate a single piece of metadata into multiple fields. This can be first and last name, an invoice number from a prefix or suffix, or various other cases.

Below is an example of how we might separate out a value gathered by a barcode, called PageBarcode in this example by using a hyphen as a delimiter of the two values.

NOTE: Modify your Metadata is only available in Capture Server Pro 1.10 and later.

Example

var pattern = /\S{3}-\S{5}/

batch.Documents.forEach(function (doc) {
    var barcodeValue = doc.Metadata["Index"]["PageBarcode"];
    var valid = pattern.test(barcodeValue);

    if (valid) {
        var delimiterPosition = barcodeValue.indexOf("-");
        var branchCodeValue = barcodeValue.substring(0, delimiterPosition);
        var documentNumberValue = barcodeValue.substring(delimiterPosition + 1);

        builder.SetDocumentMetadata(doc.DocumentId, "Index", "BranchCode", branchCodeValue);
        builder.SetDocumentMetadata(doc.DocumentId, "Index", "DocumentNumber", documentNumberValue);
    }
});

In this example, we will take a barcode value that is set with a branch code before a hyphen that is 3 characters and a document number that is 5 characters after the hyphen and set them to two pieces of metadata inside each document.

var pattern = /\S{3}-\S{5}/

batch.Documents.forEach(function (doc) {
    var barcodeValue = doc.Metadata["Index"]["PageBarcode"];
    var valid = pattern.test(barcodeValue);

var delimiterPosition = barcodeValue.indexOf("-");
var branchCodeValue = barcodeValue.substring(0, delimiterPosition);
var documentNumberValue = barcodeValue.substring(delimiterPosition + 1);

builder.SetDocumentMetadata(doc.DocumentId, "Index", "BranchCode", branchCodeValue);
builder.SetDocumentMetadata(doc.DocumentId, "Index", "DocumentNumber", documentNumberValue);
