Data Verifying documents with multiple pages

NebiePaulos
Level 3
Hey so im fairly new to Blue Prism decipher idp so any help is very much appreciated.

In Data Verification, some of the pages of the same document required different fields to be filled out. I have tried creating new document types i need for each page, however (correct me if im wrong) came to find out that you cannot have multiple document types for different pages of the same document. I tried taking pages out and setting them as their own document with the necessary document type but learned that that wont work as well. Is there a way around this that im not aware of?
If not i can just try to attain the relevant information from the pages using same document type.
With that being said, i would be looking for a formula that can obtain the last instance. Specifically is there a way to access the last page of a document? Some of the pages have the same field name(diff value) and im trying to obtain the relevant one which are on the last page. 
I was thinking maybe MAX(PAGENUM()) would get me to the last page i need i think...

Hope this wasnt too confusing

Hi Nebie,

This can either be done via a unique sample header or location training. It sounds like they all have the same header, which will make the first option unsuitable.

With the location training, which is just what happens each time you verify a document, you could include a formula to help validate the value. So for the column total field, add a formula that sums the table column e.g. SUM(item_total). This will help Decipher correctly identify the total. You won't need to add any flags, as you're only using it to validate. See the videos help page for a demo on how you can use formulas.

Thanks

Hi Nebie,

In Decipher you can use a single DFD and Document Type to handle all the fields of a multi-page document. So you can add fields for pages 1, 2 3, etc to a single DFD and when you verify, you can select the corresponding region on the respective page.

Currently there's no way to specify page related information when configuring the DFD. However there may be alternative methods available, please can you share more details regarding the field(s) you're trying to read?

Thanks

Hey Ben, thanks for taking the time to help. So to better clarify what it is, I'm working with invoices where there is a running subtotals on each page and I'm just trying to get decipher to capture the subtotal on the last page. So basically trying to get the field subtotal of the DFD to map or connect only to the last subtotal on the last page of that document. 
(Sorry for the confusion and delay response. I will be actively checking the community and this thread)
