  • Link: Extracts hyperlinks, allowing users to collect URLs from pages and for inner data extraction.

  • HTML: Retrieves raw HTML code from web pages.

  • Class: Extracts CSS class attributes for styling data.

Get Started with Multi Data Type Selector

Follow these steps to use the Multi Data Type Selector in your workflows effectively:

Step 1: Create or Run a Prebuilt Browse and Capture Workflow

Start by creating a new workflow or running an existing Browse and Capture workflow in Pline.

Step 2: Select the Page Type and Group Similar Items

Step 3: Choose Multiple Data Types

To extract multiple data types from the same content:

  1. Enter the field name of the automatically selected data type and click the (✓) button to proceed.

If you don't want the pre-selected data type, click the X button to advance.

  1. Select another data type and provide the appropriate field name.

  2. Click the check mark (✓) to proceed.

  3. Repeat the process with another data type.

  4. Once you have selected multiple data types with appropriate field names, select Save to continue.

After selecting the required data fields, assign a workflow name and save your configuration for future use.
