Data Output Types

In the Parashift platform, Data Output Types define how the extracted data is presented after being processed. Understanding these types is important to ensure that the data is output in the correct format for further processing and use.

The output data type describes, how the result of the extractor should be interpreted and how the field is displayed in the validation mask of Parashift Platform.
Output data type
Description
Allowed values
Definition of a list of allowed values.
Boolean
Usage of a checkbox, which signalize, if a value was found.
Date
Specify a date with DD.MM.YYYY format.
Datetime
Specify a date including hour and minute.
Float
Decimal values.
Integer
Integer value, without decimals.
String
General text.
Multi-Checkbox
Checkbox group.
Page coordinates
Focus on coordinates of a value, not at the value.

Output data type "Allowed values"

The allowed values are split in an internal value, which is stored in the background and is also received, using the API calls of the platform. The display value is only used for the front-end.
 

Output data type "Boolean"

This output type is used for binary data, such as yes/no, true/false, or any other two-state data.
 

Output data type "Date"

The Date type outputs data as a date, formatted in the standard YYYY-MM-DD format.
 

Output data type "Datetime"

The Datetime output type is used for extracting both date and time information. This is essential for timestamps or any situation where both elements are required.
 

Output data type "Float"

The FLOAT output type is used when dealing with numbers that require decimal precision, such as financial data, measurements, or any data that requires fractional values. This type ensures that numbers are returned with the necessary decimal points.
 

Output data type "Integer"

Integer is used for whole numbers (no decimals), typically for quantities, IDs, or other fields that require integer values.

Output data type "String"

The String type is used for alphanumeric text. This is one of the most commonly used output types and is applied to fields like names, addresses, or general text data.

Output data type "Multi-Checkbox"

The Multi-Checkbox type is used to capture multiple selected values in the form of a list. This output type is typically used for fields that can have multiple valid selections, such as options in a form or survey.

Output data type "Page coordinates"

Only extract the page coordinates. So only the coordinates of the value are available and stored, not the content.
