Document Understanding activities

About the Document Understanding activity package

UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package reference for the complete document processing framework, covering digitization, classification, extraction, and validation.

The UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package enables the usage of a complete document processing framework, from taxonomy definition, digitization, document classification, data extraction, and data validation.

Note:

The namespace of UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities is UiPath.IntelligentOCR.StudioWeb.Activities.

Robot log level

The Document Understanding activities write diagnostic details to the robot logs at Verbose level, so these details appear only when the robot runs with verbose logging enabled. For the full list of levels and where to configure them, see Log levels.

You can raise these logs to the Information level by setting the UIPATH_DU_SET_LOGS_TO_INFO environment variable on the robot host, which makes them visible without switching the robot to verbose logging. Because these logs can include file paths, project names, and user email addresses, the variable is an opt-in for each host. When the variable is not set, the Verbose default applies.

Warning:

The activity logs can contain personally identifiable information (PII), including file paths, project names, and user email addresses. Raising the log level to Information makes that information visible to anyone with access to the robot logs.

Known limitation

If you are using "Wait for" type activities that suspend workflows and you are working with DataTable variables, it is crucial that DataTable variables are serializable. For example, if a DataTable variable is initialized with new System.Data.DataTable, then it becomes non-serializable, and this can cause your project execution to fail. To prevent this, you can either: leave the default value of the DataTable variable empty, or assign a name to the DataTable variable, such as: new System.Data.DataTable("MyTable").

Activity packages compatibility

UiPath.IntelligentOCR.Activities and UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities should not be used together in the same project. The UiPath.IntelligentOCR.Activities package should be used for Windows (or Windows-Legacy) workflows, while the UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package should be used for Windows and Cross-platform workflows.

Note:

Before using the Monitor feature, take into consideration the following:

  • Only UiPath.DocumentUnderstanding.Activities v 2.7.0 or newer versions support Monitor;
  • Only IntelligentOCR.Activities v6.20 or newer versions include the Document Understanding Project Extractor activity which supports Monitor
  • Robot log level
  • Known limitation
  • Activity packages compatibility
