Token Index Greater than what's available

asked on May 8, 2017

Apply Index: For tokens that accept multiple values, you can replace the token with one of the values or all the values separated by one or more characters. The format for a token that includes an index is: %(Token#[index]#).

 

If I specify a token index greater than what's available (I.e. Index 4 where there are only 3 values), is there a way I can have it return blank instead of the last value?

    • Example: Misty is scanning documents that include multiple barcodes containing various pieces of information. When she configured her barcode process, she set it to read the whole page rather than individual zones. Her token from that process contains the values from all the barcodes on the page. She wants to extract only the value from the second barcode on the page, so she specifies the index 2 representing the second barcode.
      Note: If you are counting values from the start and you specify an index greater than the total number of values in the token, the token will be replaced by the last value.

Not at this time. Can you describe your use case, please?

I have a PDF that needs to be filled out with information from this multi value token.  It doesn't have a row format, otherwise the Update Word activity would have made this much easier.  Thankfully, there is a maximum of 6 values so I may have 6 Conditional Sequences (each with a Fill Out PDF activity) that check to see how many values are in the token before filling out the PDF.

There is a "table" option in the Update PDF activity to handle this case. You can define which fields are the columns in the table and then assign one multi-value token per column. Workflow will place the values in and leave the extra fields blank.
