Filter Expression
The filter expression task allows you to remove files based on the expression used. The task has two fields, the task name and the filter expression. The task name is arbitrary but should identify the type of filter you're creating.
Configuration
To use this task go to the task tab in your job. Select the task from the drop down and click the plus circle to configure the task. Click done after making any changes to save.
Condition check
It will execute the task when the condition's result is 'true', 't', 'on', '1', or 'yes' (case-insensitive), or run on all conditions if left empty. This condition is evaluated for each document, determining whether the task should be executed based on the specified values.
Example: If I only want to run this task for PDF documents I would use the expression: equals('#{rd.mimetype}',"application/pdf")
Filter Expression
The filter expression can use any of the 3Sixty Expression Language components to form simple or more complex expressions for evaluation by 3Sixty.
If the expression evaluates to true, the document will continue to be processed.
Example: If you want to exclude the OS level file Thumbs.db in your job, you can filter those files out using the following statement: !equalsIgnoreCase('#{rd.filename}', 'Thumbs.db')
The above example will find all the files that have the name 'Thumbs.db' and set the expression to false for the documents. Therefore, all files with the name 'Thumbs.db' will be skipped.
