Extracts all the data required for the Validation Station wizard from an `FCDocument` variable and stores it into a `ValidationStationData` variable. The extracted data contains the taxonomy, automatic extraction results, Document Object Model, and raw text of the document contained in the `FCDocument` variable. `FCDocument` variables can be obtained by processing documents with the **Process Document** activity. This activity must be run inside an **FlexiCapture Scope** container.

## Properties

#### Common

* **DisplayName** - The display name of the activity.

#### Input

* **Document** - The FlexiCapture Document you want to process, stored in an `FCDocument` variable. This datatype can be obtained from the **Process Document** activity. This field supports only `FCDocument` variables.

#### Misc

* **Private** - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

#### Output

* **ValidationStationData** - All the data required to run the Validation Station extracted from the specified document, stored in a `ValidationStationData` variable. This field supports only `ValidationStationData` variables.
  :::note
  To use the variable from the ValidationStationData field in a Present Validation Station activity, the properties listed below must be used.
  :::

  A `ValidationStationData` variable contains four properties:
* **output.Taxonomy** - exposes a taxonomy automatically built from the document definitions used in the **Process Document** activity
* **output.Dom** - exposes a Document Object Model built from the output variable of the **Process Document** activity.
* **output.RawText** - exposes the text version of the processed document
* **output.ExtractionResults** - exposes an `ExtractionResult` object populated with the data extracted by the FlexiCapture engine, and classified as a document type equal to the document definition that matched the processed document. It is mapped and built based on the taxonomy generated from the list of document definitions.

For example, to use a `ValidationStationData` variable called `preparedData` in a **DocumentObjectModel** property field, it has to be written as `preparedData.Dom` in the **Expression Editor**.

## Example of using the Prepare Validation Station Data activity

You can see how the **Prepare Validation Station Data** activity is used in an example that incorporates multiple activities.

You can check and download the example from [here](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/document-understanding/validation-station).
